5. Maintenance
The Bordeaux Awning is designed to be largely maintenance-free. Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain its appearance and functionality.
- Cleaning: Clean the polycarbonate panels and frame periodically with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
- Gutter Clearance: Periodically check and clear the front gutter of any debris (e.g., leaves, twigs) to ensure proper water drainage.
- Inspection: Annually inspect all mounting hardware and connections to ensure they remain secure. Tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues that may arise with the awning. For more complex problems, please contact customer support.
- Water Leakage: If water is seeping behind the awning, check the rubber gasket system and ensure it is properly sealed against the wall. Verify all mounting points are securely fastened.
- Panel Discoloration: While panels are UV protected, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions or certain chemicals can affect appearance. Ensure only recommended cleaning agents are used.
- Awning Sagging: Check all support arm connections and wall mounts for looseness. Ensure the awning was installed on a structurally sound surface.
