Care & Maintenance
Invisi-Gard & Alu-Gard
- Maintenance of your Invisi-Gard and Alu-Gard products is as simple as using a soft-bristled brush, warm mains water and a mild detergent. Ensure the products are rinsed well and that all detergent residue is flushed from all mesh and mesh retaining areas on the framing.
- Recycled, tank or bore water is not suitable and could lead to damaging corrosion effects.
- Please take care to avoid excessive water entering hardware such as locks and door closers. Periodic lubrication of the main lock and auxiliary lock components should only ever be done using graphite powder. Liquid or aerosol lubricants can cause corrosion and damage the locking mechanism.
- Strong detergents and abrasive cleaners MUST NEVER be used to clean your Invisi-Gard Stainless Steel Security Screens and Alu-Gard Aluminium Security Screens as these may scratch or damage the surface finish and increase the likelihood of corrosion.
- External contaminants such as bird and bat droppings are very acidic and can quickly burn and damage the powder coat finish of the Invisi-Gard and Alu-Gard screens frame and the mesh coating. To maintain the product warranty, it is essential that these external contaminants are cleaned immediately only with a mild detergent, soft-bristled brush and rinsed thoroughly with mains water.
- To clean the tracks on sliding doors, use a soft bristled brush and a vacuum.
