COASTAL AREAS and ALUMINUM WINDOW FRAMES
Aluminum windows and doors are a great choice in coastal areas and theoretically never need painting, right?
Yes, they can be. But they are not maintenance free. Have you seen a crust of white build up on the exterior? That’s oxidation. If left as is, the aluminum can become pitted and dirty-looking. Oxidation on aluminum windows is ugly and detracts from the visual appeal of your home.
Periodic scrubbing with a detergent solution and then coating with a good grade of automobile wax will normally prevent much of this from happening, but very few homeowners actually go to the trouble of doing this regularly. Unfortunately, after pitting and oxidation have already occurred, simple scrubbing will not remove it.
Your aluminum and vinyl window frames can continue to look like new, even years from now, with regular care and maintenance. In coastal areas, windows should be rinsed regularly to reduce salt deposit build-ups, making the annual cleaning easier.
