New Doors In Spruce Grove: What You Should

Do To Keep Them In Excellent Shape

Congratulations! You’ve gotten new doors on your Spruce Grove home. They’re a great investment as they’re durable, energy efficient and their beauty adds plenty of curb appeal.

We have a few tips to help you keep your new doors looking like new and functioning properly. These tips are as easy as washing windows and mopping floors.

GreenFox Windows and Doors sells many styles of patio and entry doors, so we’re familiar with their upkeep.

Clean Your Doors Regularly

Your doors aren’t much of an investment if they don’t look good. They’ll need a monthly cleaning with a mild solution to stay presentable – soap and water will work just fine.

You may want to put the solution in a spray bottle so it’s easier to apply. Spray the door and use a soft cloth to wipe away the dirt.

Use glass cleaner on patio doors and entries with glass inserts. Spray the glass and use a lint-free cloth to keep them clear and sparkling.

Make sure you clean both sides of your doors and pay close attention to the outside because it’ll get especially dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals and cleaners (like cleaning solutions with bleach) that may damage your doors’ surface.

Perform Hardware Maintenance

Even with the best hardware on your doors they still need maintenance. Hinges, locks, and handles require regular inspection. Check them periodically for wear, rust, or loose screws.

Tighten loose screws and bolts so your new doors stay securely attached. You should also apply lubricant (like silicone spray) to the hinges and locks, so your doors move smoothly.

Perform Weatherstripping Maintenance

Certain door materials like steel and fiberglass are great at insulting heat, that’s why GreenFox swears by them. But these doors still need weatherstripping to stay energy efficient.

You must frequently inspect the weatherstripping for wear or damage and replace any damaged or worn-out parts.

Seasonal Maintenance Tips

Each season will bring its own maintenance challenges. Springtime is when you’ll inspect for winter damage and clean away pollen build-up. Summer is when you’ll check for warping and sun damage.

The fall season is when you prepare for winter by checking the weatherstripping. Wintertime maintenance involves clearing away ice and snow, you’ll have to do this regularly to prevent water damage.
