You’ll barely need to maintain aluminium doors. Aluminium is a precious metal with superb strength and incredible durability. Because of this, these doors do a lot of that work for themselves. With your new doors, you won’t have to worry about the maintenance that old ones often need.
If you have wooden doors, for instance, then you might already know how quickly they can wear down. Wooden doors need repainting every couple of months, can often scratch and dent, and even need revarnishing. Because of this, while they have an authentic look, it can take a lot of effort to keep it at its best.
With Abbey’s range of aluminium doors, though, you won’t have to worry about maintenance. All you’ll have to do to maintain aluminium doors is to check them and clean them with a damp cloth every few months. That way, you can spend less time worrying about the state of your door and more time enjoying it.
Aluminium doors give you plenty of reasons to enjoy your new entrance, as well. You’ll get a door with brilliant insulation, robust security, full weather protection and a stunning metallic sheen. As a result, doors like these are the complete package. At Abbey, you can fully customise your new aluminium doors too, meaning you can get the perfect entrance to your home.
How To Maintain Older Doors
If you have older doors, then you may already know how frustrating they can be to maintain. With wooden doors, and even older designs with plastic frames, you might have to deal with maintenance every few weeks. That’s because these materials aren’t weather-resistant.
Because of this, wind and rain can cause damage to the frames, including scratches, rust and even cracks that create gaps for cold air to enter your home through. While repainting the doors can help them keep their look, the damage can eventually take its toll. After a few years, both wooden and plastic doors begin to underperform, making your home cold and uncomfortable.
However, if you’re thinking of repairing these doors, you could replace them with a brand-new door! If you want an entrance you don’t have to maintain, then aluminium doors fit the bill. Aluminium is a fully weatherproof material, meaning it can withstand even the worst weather conditions. Not only that, but it’ll protect the rest of the door from rust and wear, so you won’t have to worry about repair costs for decades to come.
Also, aluminium won’t fade, meaning you can style it in unique colours and finishes you won’t have to repaint! All you have to do to keep your doors looking factory-fresh is to wipe them with a damp cloth to clear away any dirt and smudges.
Maintaining Aluminium Doors
When you maintain aluminium doors, the first thing to do is to check the frames. Over time, dirt can collect on aluminium and build-up, creating smudges on the door. Additionally, debris could have gotten stuck on the door in bad weather. The first thing to do, then, is to remove any large debris manually. From there, use a damp cloth to wipe down the aluminium carefully, removing any dirt.
When you’re cleaning the aluminium, it’s important to use plain water or a mild detergent. If you use anything more abrasive, it could damage the aluminium and cause it to weaken. Once you’ve cleaned it, use a dry cloth to wipe away the water, and your door will look as good as it did from the day of installation.
Also, you won’t have to maintain your aluminium doors often. While you could end up repainting wooden windows every couple of weeks, aluminium doors only need a clean every couple of months or so. If you want to check the hardware of the doors, such as the hinges and locks, you’ll only need to do that a couple of times a year.
Because of this, aluminium doors are a hassle-free option. Not only that, but they’ll offer much better performance for longer than older doors. Aluminium frames are thermally efficient, meaning you’ll be able to keep cold air away from your home. As a result, you could end up saving money on your energy bills.
