Louvre Cleaning Guide
Periodic cleaning of your powder coated louvre system is essential to comply with warranties and to extend the life of the product. Over time the effects of the environment can accumulate and without proper cleaning, may cause damage to your louvre system. It is recommended your louvre system is cleaned every 6 months in normal applications, and more frequently (at least every 3 months) in areas with higher pollutants such as coastal, geothermal or industrial areas.
Cleaning your system is simple:
1. Spray the system with fresh water to remove any loose surface dirt
2. Mix a mild household detergent with warm water and use a sponge or soft brush to clean all surfaces. Note, do not use an abrasive brush or sponge as this may scratch the surface. Ensure no solvents or harsh chemicals are used
3. Spray the system thoroughly with fresh water to rinse off all detergent
4. For stubborn stains, only use recommended solvents on the area such as methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
5. Clear gutters of debris including your house gutters, as these could overflow into your louvre system
6. Wipe surface of rain sensor (if fitted) Do not use: Turpentine, white spirits, thinners, citrus based cleaners or other aggressive solvents on powder coating. Do not rub powder coated surfaces excessively, especially metallic finishes.
