AS&D Cleaning and Maintenance
AS&D products and systems are fabricated with the highest-grade materials available on the market today. AS&D products are coated with baked enamel, powder or anodized finishes that are applied with industry leading application technology.
Regular maintenance
Inspect fasters and attachments on regular intervals. It is the responsibility of the owner to inspect these areas a minimum of once per year. Over time, fasteners may loosen and need to be tightened. Fasteners and hardware may discolor over time, but this does not affect the integrity or strength of the system.
Natural weathering
Over time, exposure to the elements might cause accumulation of pollens, pollutants, algae, or oxidation on the surface of the coating. This is normal and can be cleaned and polished to bring back the sheen.
General cleaning
AS&D products should be cleaned at least once per year with a mild, non-abrasive soap and water. We recommend using a soft sponge or microfiber wipe. In areas where salts and pollutants are more prevalent, the materials should be cleaned more frequently. Always rinse with fresh water after cleaning to remove any residual soap or buildup.
Avoid using dry sponges or rags which will scratch the surface.
Always remove any sap, tree seeds, bugs or other contaminants as soon as possible, as prolonged exposure to the sun and heat will make them difficult to remove.
Avoid using chemicals, household cleaners, or harsh abrasives on painted or anodized surfaces.
For glass infill, use regular glass cleaner or soap and water.
Always test a small, inconspicuous area before applying any product to AS&D materials.
Non-transferable warranty
All AS&D’s warranties on coatings and materials is not assignable or transferrable.
