- Frame Care: The aluminum frame features AkzoNobel's Interpon powder coating, providing maximum scratch and corrosion resistance. Clean the frame periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Roof Care: The galvanized steel roof panels are designed for maximum protection. Inspect the roof periodically for debris and clear any accumulation of leaves or snow to prevent excessive load.
- Window and Screen Cleaning: Clean PVC windows and screens with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the PVC or screen material.
- Anchoring Inspection: Periodically check the anchoring points to ensure the solarium remains securely fastened, especially after strong winds.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your solarium.
Water Leakage
If you observe water leakage, particularly around the roof rivets or panel seams, inspect the installation for proper sealing. Ensure all screws and rivets are securely tightened according to the assembly instructions. Applying a suitable outdoor sealant to problematic areas may resolve minor leaks.
Cracking in Cold Climates
While designed for four-season use, extreme cold can affect materials. Ensure proper snow load removal from the roof to prevent stress. If cracking occurs, assess the extent of the damage and contact customer support for advice on replacement parts.
