Weather Seal Maintenance
- Inspection: Regularly check the weather seals around your door for signs of wear, damage, or detachment.
- Cleaning: Gently clean the weather seals with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that could impair their function.
- Replacement: If you notice any damage or deterioration in the weather seals, contact us for a replacement to maintain your door’s energy efficiency.
Paint and Finish Care
- Inspection: Annually inspect your door’s finish for any signs of wear, fading, or damage.
- Touch-ups: Small chips or scratches can often be touched up with manufacturer-approved paint. Contact your Solidor dealer for guidance.
- Refinishing: If significant wear is evident, consult a professional about refinishing options. Note that unauthorised refinishing may void your warranty.
