Cleaning

Roofs and façades are parts of the building that are particularly stressed by the weather. Sun and wind, rain and snow, as well as permanent moisture (in the forest or in the shade) have an effect on the building cover. Dirt deposits (e.g. dust, leaves, needles, etc.) can impair the function and appearance of the roof covering, façade or roof drainage (e.g. blockage). Therefore, it is advisable to check and clean roof coverings and façade claddings, as well as roof drainage systems at certain intervals or after extreme weather events (heavy rain, storms …). In this way, changes, dirt and damage can be detected and eliminated in a timely manner and prevent consequential damage.

Tips on care and cleaning of PREFA coloured aluminium coils: In the case of light soiling, such as a layer of dust or similar: clear, lukewarm water, detergent or care products for car paintwork (no scouring agents!). In the case of heavy contamination, such as adhesive residues, oils or fats: conventional car polish or suitable universal cleaners. The manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning agents must be observed.

Use water and a cleaning sponge for cleaning.

Attention

After each cleaning process, rinse sufficiently with clear water. Do not clean in direct sunlight. Never use acetone, nitro thinner or similar solvents or products with an abrasive effect for cleaning.
