Spring can come: spring-check for roller shutters, awnings, etc.
With the first warm rays of sunshine, spring-cleaning begins in the home - the veranda is cleared of winter drabness, the balcony tidied up for sunnier times and the garden awakens from hibernation. Now is also the best time to care for roller shutters and awnings. Cold, moisture and wind put roller shutters and awnings to the test - the whole year long. Since they are often considered a natural part of the house, their care is easily neglected. Fortunately, sun protectors, motors and control units are exceptionally sturdy and designed for use under hard conditions. Nonetheless, it is always recommended that a regular "spring check" is carried out by a roller shutter and sun protection technician who will test the condition and functionality of the systems and easily repair small damages before they spread.
Many home owners know from their own experience how important it is to check the roller shutters every spring: "Of course, to start with, the surfaces are cleaned and dirt or objects removed from the guide rails. This can be done regularly by yourself. After that, a master craftsman applies a non-greasy lubricant to all sliding surfaces in the guide rails. In most cases, maintenance ends at this point - only occasionally minor problems are found, which can then be quickly remedied." This ensures that the all-rounder roller shutters remain fully functional - all the time. Not only do shutters protect residents from bright sunlight and curious looks from outside, but also from energy losses and uninvited guests with light fingers.
The functionality of awnings over balconies and terraces should also be checked. That way, as soon as spring begins, they are ready to provide comfortable shade. Awnings are nearly as effective as roller shutters when the shade cast by the cloth covers the window surface as completely as possible. Important aspects to consider when choosing an awning: the awning frame and mounts must be able to withstand wind and weather just as much as the cloth. The awning fabric should be light-proof, weather-resistant and have at least a level 7 standard qualitiy; level 8 is the highest quality.
The annual spring check by a professional service company belonging to the roller shutters and sun protection technicians association saves costs, maintains a comfortable atmosphere in the home and garden and lengthens the life-time of roller shutters, awnings, blinds, etc.
