Cleaning, care and inspection activities
Over time, a film of dirt will form on the surfaces of sun shading products due to environmental influences.
Due to the effects of solar radiation, this soiling can become permanently burnt into or stuck to the surface coating. These
factors reduce the value and may impair the proper functioning of the sun shading product.
To enhance the durability of the sun shading product, its surfaces should be cleaned regularly or
at least once a year.
For awning fabrics, the necessary cleaning interval depends on the degree of soiling.
In certain ambient conditions, such as those found near industrial zones and close to heavy road traffic, the sea (salty air)
or swimming pools (air with chlorine), more frequent cleaning may help to protect against surface damage caused by these
conditions and against the heightened risk of corrosion.
INFO
The activities described in this section can be performed by the operator. It is important to abide by the interval of one
year.
Purpose of cleaning and care
The benefit provided by regular and proper cleaning and care is that the value of the product is preserved and its service life
extended. The purpose of repeatedly cleaning the product is to preserve the well-maintained appearance of both the building
and the product.
