Cleaning Frequency
The frequency of cleaning your windows, doors, security screens, and hardware depends on the environment around your home. Consider the following guidelines:
Rural/Suburban Environments
- Recommended cleaning every 3 months. Maximum period between cleaning is 6 months.
Over time, dirt and various materials will come into contact with your frames. Maintenance will help to prevent gradual deterioration and corrosion.
Coastal/River/Pool/Industrial Environments
- Monthly cleaning is advisable. Maximum period between cleaning is 3 months, 1 month for hardware.
Windows & doors within 8km of the coastline, rivers, within close proximity to swimming pools or industrial environments, or under continual exposure to sprinklers have a higher risk of corrosion.
Extreme (heavy industrial areas, quarries etc)
- Maximum period between cleaning is monthly.
Exposure to heavy grime deposit and atmospheric pollution, e.g. sulphur compounds or salts, will quickly corrode your frames and cause visible deterioration if maintenance isn’t carried out regularly.
Prevent Thermal Fracture
Thermal fracture occurs when glass is exposed to extreme temperature changes causing a fracture within the glass that can lead to further cracking. To help prevent thermal fractures in your glass, follow these guidelines:
- Avoid cleaning glass when it’s fully exposed to sunlight. Wait until the glass is cool to the touch.
- Refrain from washing glass on extremely hot or cold days. Also, prevent sudden temperature changes (e.g. pouring hot water over cold glass, or cold water over hot glass).
- Don’t store objects or materials in contact with the glass while in direct sunlight.
- Thermal stress breakage can happen when glass is tinted. If you are considering applying aftermarket tint to your windows, choose an accredited tinter aligned with the Window Film Association. Verify that their product warranty covers the glass once the tint is applied (www.wfaanz.org.au).
