A Guide to Maintenance: Keep Your Alsysco Systems Looking New

Alsysco Aluminium systems are designed to enhance your home’s beauty and function for years to come. While our high-quality components require minimal replacements, regular maintenance ensures they operate smoothly and stay beautiful for an extended lifespan.

Location Matters: Tailoring Upkeep to Your Environment

Depending on your location, South Africa’s diverse weather conditions necessitate slightly different maintenance approaches. Whether you live near the coast or inland, rest assured that Alsysco systems are built to withstand the harsh African environment.

Here’s a breakdown of our recommended upkeep:

Monthly Inspection: A Quick DIY Routine

Maintaining a smooth, silent glide for your Alsysco doors and windows and keeping the aluminium looking new, is a breeze with a monthly inspection. It is important to remove dust, dirt, and debris that can accumulate in the track of windows and doors, for example, hindering smooth operation. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Clean the Glass: Use an approved glass cleaner for a sparkling shine. Check out our cleaners here.

  • Freshen Up the Metal: Alsysco Aluminium Powder Coating Cleaner ensures your frames stay pristine.

  • Check Your Locks: Ensure the locking mechanisms move freely and engage properly.

  • Inspect Tracks and Frame: Clear any debris or dirt from the track and outer frame.

Six-Monthly Check-Up: An Extra Layer of Care

Your six-monthly inspection mirrors your monthly routine. However, if you live in a coastal area, or a known corrosive environment, applying preventative measures to keep your systems working well is vital. Here’s what to watch out for:

  • Visible Corrosion: Inspect aluminium profiles and locking mechanisms for any signs of corrosion buildup.

  • Lock Functionality: Ensure proper locking engagement between the keeps.

  • Drainage Essentials: Verify drainage covers and baffles are in place.

  • If you have insect screens or security barriers installed, give the mesh Some TLC: Remove dirt and dust using a soft brush and a wipe-down with a damp, lint-free cloth.

  • Check Your Mesh: Look for tears, damage, or any slack in tension.
