Architectural Garage Door Maintenance
Our designer garage doors are well engineered to be long lasting and require minimal upkeep to maintain their appearance and performance.Â
Routine Care & Cleaning:Â
- Aluminium Surfaces: To clean powder-coated surfaces, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with a pH-neutral detergent in warm water. Rinse thoroughly and avoid harsh, chemical-based cleaners to protect the integrity of the finish.
- Clear Panels: For acrylic, polycarbonate, or glass panels, gently wipe them with a dedicated microfibre cloth to prevent micro-scratches and maintain clarity.
- Annual Checks: Once a year, it’s a good practice to inspect the weather sealing around the panels for any signs of wear.Â
 Professional Servicing:Â
- Regular servicing is recommended every 12-18 months to keep your door and automatic opener operating smoothly and safely
- Professional servicing also ensures your warranty coverage is maintainedÂ

FAQs About Architectural Garage Doors

Can I add an automatic opener to my aluminium garage door?

How long do aluminium and perspex garage doors last?
With basic maintenance, quality aluminium garage doors provide excellent longevity. Clear panels maintain their appearance for many years with proper care. The strong aluminium frame construction ensures your door stays reliable over time.
Can perspex garage doors be backlit at night?
Yes, perspex garage doors, polycarbonate and acrylic garage doors can be backlit using LED lights to create attractive evening effects.
What's the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate garage doors?
Acrylic garage doors (like Clearlite) are clearer and let through more light, similar to glass. Polycarbonate garage doors (like Twinlite and Multilite) are stronger and more impact-resistant, but slightly less clear. Think of acrylic as being more like glass, while polycarbonate is more like strong plastic.Â
Which doors allow the most natural light
Glasslite provides maximum light, followed by Clearlite acrylic panels. Twinlite and Multilite offer good natural light with added strength, while Perfalite allows light plus ventilation.Â
