Maintenance Tips

• Clean tempered glass panels regularly with a soft cloth and non-abrasive glass cleaner to maintain clarity and maximum light transmission.
• Inspect glazing seals, clips, and rubber gaskets periodically to ensure all panels remain secure, sealed, and weather-tight.
• Remove dirt, algae, and organic buildup from the frame, base, and corners to prevent corrosion and staining.
• Check doors, vents, and portico connections seasonally and lubricate hinges and moving parts for smooth operation.
• Ensure proper drainage around the base to prevent water pooling and structural stress.
• Tighten bolts and structural fittings regularly, especially after strong winds or seasonal changes.
• Keep ventilation systems clean and fully functional to maintain stable temperature and humidity levels.
• Inspect the aluminum frame for scratches or corrosion and treat exposed areas promptly.
