Care Instructions for Xcell Slatted Products

It is essential for all powder-coated materials to be cleaned on a regular basis to preserve the finish over the years. XCELL Privacy Screens should be cleaned at frequent intervals as indicated below, depending on the amount of contamination that builds up on the surface. The aim of the cleaning operation is to remove the grime that is deposited onto the surface without causing damage to the powder-coated surface.  The cleaning method depends on the degree of contamination. Hard cleaning is often the best way for small installations, but large expanses of powder-coated metals, as in multi-storey buildings and large commercial projects, call for carefully controlled methods to loosen deposits of dirt and grime.  The surfaces should be washed down with warm water in conjunction with a ‘soft’ cleaner such as car cleaning or dishwashing solution. Fibre brushes may be used to loosen dirt and grime, but abrasives such as sand paper or emery paper must not be used. Acidic or alkaline cleaners are also not recommended as they can damage the powder coating (pH ranging from 5 to 8). It is essential to finish off the cleaning by thoroughly rinsing all washed surfaces with clean water. Where there has been greasy deposit, the surface should be washed with a white spirit using a soft cloth. Aerosol paint graffiti can cause considerable problems due to solvents used in paint. Contact CommandeX on 1300 720 838 for advice and recommendations prior to attempting the removal of graffiti.  It is essential to note that cleansers may attack the finished surface and must not be used except in consultation with companies who specialise in cleaning powder coating metal surfaces.

Care & Maintenance of Diamond Grille Screens

Regular cleaning is necessary if the fine finish of powder coated and anodised aluminium is to be preserved. Deterioration of the coating occurs mainly as a result of grime deposition and attack by contaminated moisture, which in coastal and pool environments contain salt and sulphur compounds. Deposited grime and contamination absorbs moisture like a sponge and holds it against the powder coated and anodised surfaces. This permits the attack to proceed thereby damaging the coating which cannot be restored.
