Most of our aluminum parts have a durable polyester powder coating. Other pieces of aluminum are coated with acrylic enamel paint. In both cases, the coatings are subject to a 5-year limited supplier warranty against discoloration and chipping. The installation of our products is guaranteed for 1 year for a normal use of our products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Some conditions may apply<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance Guide<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some best practices for maintaining aluminum railing and decking:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Regular Cleaning:<\/strong> Regularly clean the aluminum railing and decking surfaces to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a mild detergent or a solution of water and gentle soap. Avoid using harsh abrasives or chemicals that can damage the aluminum finish.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Avoid Abrasive Tools:<\/strong> When cleaning or removing stubborn stains, avoid using abrasive tools such as steel wool or wire brushes, as they can scratch the aluminum surface. Instead, use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Rinse Thoroughly:<\/strong> After cleaning, rinse the railing and decking thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue from the cleaning solution. This helps prevent the buildup of soapy residue or chemicals that could cause discoloration or corrosion over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Inspect for Damage:<\/strong> Regularly inspect the aluminum railing and decking for any signs of damage, such as loose or damaged sections, bent or dented areas, or corrosion. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the structural integrity of the railing and decking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Protect from Abrasive Materials:<\/strong> Avoid placing abrasive materials directly on the aluminum surface, such as potted plants with rough bases or metal objects that can scratch or cause corrosion. Use protective pads or coasters to prevent direct contact.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Apply a Protective Coating:<\/strong> Consider applying a protective coating or sealant specifically designed for aluminum surfaces. This can help protect the railing and decking from UV rays, oxidation, and environmental elements, extending their lifespan and maintaining their appearance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Remove Snow and Ice Carefully:<\/strong> During winter months, remove snow and ice from the aluminum railing and decking using a plastic shovel or a broom with soft bristles. Avoid using metal shovels or sharp objects that can scratch or dent the surface.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Address Salt Exposure:<\/strong> If the aluminum railing and decking are exposed to saltwater or de-icing salts, rinse them with freshwater regularly to remove salt residue. Salt can accelerate corrosion, so proper rinsing is essential.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Maintain Proper Drainage:<\/strong> Ensure that the aluminum decking has proper drainage to prevent standing water, which can lead to discoloration or corrosion. Clear any debris that may obstruct the drainage system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Follow Manufacturer&#8217;s Guidelines:<\/strong> Always refer to the manufacturer&#8217;s guidelines and recommendations for maintenance and care specific to your aluminum railing and decking. They may provide specific instructions and products to use or avoid.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following these best practices, you can help maintain the condition, appearance, and longevity of your aluminum railing and decking.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_btt_skin=&#8221;light&#8221;
