In this article, we will discuss in detail the service and cleaning details of your awning.
What Services are Included in Checking Your Awning?
Checking Wall Fixings and Retaining Bolts
One of the essential services included in checking your awning is checking wall fixings and retaining bolts. Our installers ensure the awning is securely fixed to the wall by checking all the wall fixings and retaining bolts.
Testing Moving Parts
Another important aspect of checking your awning is testing its moving parts. We will test the awning to ensure it is opening and closing correctly. Our experienced installers will also make sure that the in and outward limits of the awning are set correctly.
Adjusting Awning Pitch
At SBI, we check the pitch of the awning and adjust it to provide a slightly steeper angle that helps rainwater run off the cover. This ensures that your awning is not damaged by the accumulation of rainwater.
Electric Motor and Controls Check
We will also check the electric motor and controls to make sure that they are working correctly. This ensures that your awning is easy to operate and safe to use.
How to Clean Your Awning?
Using Low-Pressure Washer
At SBI, we use a LOW-PRESSURE washer to clean your awning. This helps to remove dirt and grime from the cover without damaging the stitching or the fabric.
Applying Chemical Cleaning Solution
To clean your awning, we apply a chemical cleaning solution to the cover and valance. We then use a broom to agitate the solution and loosen ingrained dirt.
Avoid High Pressure Washer
It is crucial to avoid cleaning your awning with high-pressure washers. This is because high-pressure washers can damage the cover, especially the stitching. The weakest part of the cover is the stitching, and it can break if a high-pressure washer is used.
