Maintenance and Care Guide for Awnings
Investing in a high-quality sun protection system is the first step to transforming your home or business into a space of comfort. At CADET, we select materials with a 5-year warranty certificate to ensure your investment is long-lasting. However, basic maintenance is key to extending the service life of the mechanisms and technical fabrics.
Below, we offer you the best advice for caring for your awning or pergola.
Structure and Hardware Maintenance
Awnings and pergolas use aluminum frames and stainless steel components; the hardware requires proper care:
- Profile cleaning: Clean the aluminum guides (especially in ZIP systems) and the supports with a damp cloth to ensure smooth sliding.
- Joint inspection: In articulated arm awnings, verify that there are no obstacles preventing the movement of the highly robust arms.
- Drainage channels: In bioclimatic pergolas and pergotendas, ensure that the drainage channels and integrated drains are free of obstructions so that rainwater flows correctly.
