Maintenance Tips

• Clean Regularly: Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap to keep the surface free from dirt and debris.
• Check for Obstructions: Inspect the vent for any blockages such as leaves or dirt that may impede airflow.
• Patina Care: Copper naturally develops a patina over time. If you prefer to maintain its original shine, apply a clear protective sealant.
• Inspect for Corrosion: Although copper is resistant to corrosion, check for any signs of wear or damage, especially at the seams.
• Ensure Secure Fasteners: Tighten any screws or bolts to prevent loosening and ensure the vent stays securely in place.
• Clear Snow/Ice: During winter, remove any snow or ice accumulation to maintain airflow and prevent blockages.
• Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as they can damage the copper finish.
