It’s a good idea for you to take a look at your custom louvers around once a year to get a sense of what they might need.
Maintaining and caring for your newly installed louvers is very easy. All they need is a bit of cleaning and occasional upkeep, and they should last you a long time. However, it is a good idea for you to take a look at your custom louvers around once a year to get a sense of what they might need. Since they are made from aluminum at Hercules Custom Louvers, they should be able to handle the elements and time quite well. Regardless, it is smart to know what you should be looking out for and how to properly take care of the louvers if anything terrible ever happens. Read on for a list of louver care tips so you can ensure that everything is in good shape with your brand-new louvers!
Make Sure They Are Spotless
Aluminum louvers are protected quite well against things like UV rays and rust, which may ultimately end up harming the aluminum and cause a few issues. While rust might not be a serious concern, one might worry that it could threaten the finish of the aluminum and algae, which can and ultimately will grow on your aluminum louvers under the right conditions. This can cause it to slowly eat away at the finish of the set of louvers, but getting rid of algae is not that difficult. All you have to do is wipe down the louvers with a bit of warm water and soap. If you add a small bit of bleach to it, then you can make sure that algae will not thrive on your precious new louvers.
Know When It’s Time for a Replacement
Remember that nothing ever lasts forever. While aluminum is a strong and sturdy material that you should get plenty of use from, your louver installers might not be able to fix serious problems at a point down the road, and it could be a better idea to replace the louvers entirely. Do not worry, though, as aluminum is eco-friendly as a material, and you can recycle it. This means aluminum has a second life as long as you dispose of it properly.
Create Some Room
You should make sure you are not allowing landscaping elements like vines or bushes to take over the visibility of your louver set. Brush away scrubs and vines wherever required and trim down anything that is getting in the way of your louvers. As tough as they could be, something as serious as a tree root under the louver set could cause problems by warping. For more information on brand-new louvers from Hercules, give us a call!
