Hardware Care and Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adjusting window hardware or removing\/reinstalling window sashes should only be done by qualified professionals. Clean the hardware regularly and remove any dirt or debris. Inspect all moving parts once a year for wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lubricate locking mechanisms, pins, hinges, and corner bearings with a light oil or suitable maintenance spray. Regularly check and tighten the screws that secure the fittings if needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Handling Window Sashes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Avoid placing objects between the sash and frame, and do not put additional weight on the sash. Never force the sash against a wall to prevent potential damage. Be cautious to avoid pinching fingers, especially when operating sliding doors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance of foil-coated profiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clean foil-coated profiles with water. If necessary, use a mild household cleaner or a diluted glass cleaner. Always test any cleaner on a hidden area first. Avoid products containing alcohol. Thanks to the smooth surface of the foil, dirt does not easily adhere, so additional care is usually unnecessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these guidelines, you\u2019ll ensure the long-term performance and appearance of your Salamander windows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
