Maintenance and warranty
Maintenance
- The condition of the window’s surface treatment should be inspected once a year.
- The treated windows have been treated with clear and water-soluble TEKNOGRUND 353 wood protection with decay, blue stain and mould-prevention agents. TEKNOGRUND 353 only provides short-term protection (approx. one year in outdoor conditions).
- The white windows are painted with water-soluble paints by Teknos. The standard colour is white NCS-30502Y. Repair any cracks or chips in the painted surface.
- Lacquered windows/windows with translucent coating are treated with one coating of translucent wood protection, after which a coating of clear lacquer is applied. Two coats of clear lacquer are applied to lacquered windows.
- Windows with Biobe valves should be cleaned once a year, read more at www.biobe.fi
- Insect screens should be cleaned once a year or when necessary. Read more at www.solar.fi
- Locks and espagnolettes should be lubricated once a year. Lubricate the window stoppers when necessary.
- The condition of the gaskets should be inspected once a year.
- Only use neutral window cleaning products to clean windows. Solvents should not be used to clean the glass surface unless absolutely necessary.
- The wooden surfaces should be cleaned using only a small amount of water and avoiding unnecessary abrasion.
- Wider frames (over 130 cm) should be supported when opened to avoid the frame being damaged.
- Always use a special window key to open the window. When closing the window, make sure that all locks are closed.
