Maintenance
The PVC construction of your accordion door makes it remarkably low-maintenance. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your door looking and functioning its best:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the PVC panels with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the UV-resistant coating.
- Track Maintenance: Periodically check the top track for any debris or obstructions that might hinder smooth operation. Clean the track with a dry cloth.
- Hardware Check: Occasionally inspect all screws and hardware to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
