Receipt and storage
Correct installation and maintenance is important to ensure full warranty coverage.
To ensure that the windows and doors function and operate optimally, it is important that they are installed correctly. Incorrect installation may result in product failure which is not covered by the warranty.
If you have any questions regarding the installation of the elements, please call our Service Department on tel. 01582 860 940. They will be happy to help you.When unloading and handling the elements, use tools and methods which do not cause damage the elements or the health of those on site.
Upon receipt, the purchaser must check that the consignment complies with the agreement and that the elements are free from apparent defects, faults or transportation damage. If there is any cause for complaint, please notify Idealcombi’s Service Department on tel. 01582 860 940 before installing the elements.
Stickers and cork chips on window glass should be removed 1-2 weeks after receipt. Corner protection, protective films and other packaging must only be removed before installing the elements.
If stored outdoors, the elements must be placed on battens or pallets to keep them clear of the ground. The elements must be covered with a suitable and secure material to protect them from precipitation and dirt. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the elements in order to reduce the risk of condensation forming underneath the covering and excessive heat building up due to direct sunlight. Individual window elements should be stored under a roof structure, in a container or preferably inside.
Our windows and doors are supplied with a small tin of paint in their particular colour. The paint is intended for repairing any minor damage caused during installation, but can also be used subsequently. Idealcombi’s Service
Department is always willing to offer help and advice on surface treatment maintenance and on where to buy additional paint in a particular colour for later use.Correct installation and maintenance is important to ensure full warranty coverage.

Installation in general
Correct installation is important for the function and life of the elements. The installation should therefore be carried out by professional fitters of windows and external doors.
The instructions in this manual cover some of the main issues – but not every detail – which may be relevant during installation.
Back boards on fully insulated spandrel panels are loosely fitted. After installation the cavity is insulated and a damp membrane fitted. Then the back board is sealed and fixed with nails.
The window is usually placed within the outer leaf construction of the wall. It should be fitted centrally giving uniform gaps between the frame and structure – ideally the gaps should be 10 to 15mm. The window should be installed with the frame plumb both
horizontally and vertically and should be adjusted and fixed to ensure the correct closing position between the frame and sash.Securing, general
Windows and external doors should always be fixed to the building structure using mechanical fixings such as frame bolts / screws.If any foaming material is used to fill the gap between the outer frame surface and the structure the element must be fixed first using mechanical fixings.
Sealant
The sealant work must be carried out in accordance with sealant manufacturers recommendations and current standards.When filling gaps with insulation (expanding foam) never put in too much so that it bows the frame. After the expanding foam has cured a waterproof sealant should be applied to the outside (see paragraph on sealant types). To make sure you have enough depth
(in accordance with the sealant manufacturers recommendations) you may have to rake back the expanding foam insulation.Sealant types
There are a wide range of sealing products to choose from for use between frames and outer walls.The two most common types are:
– Plastic or elastic mastic
– Asphalt saturated plastic foam (Illmod sealing tapes)
Please refer to sealant manufacturers guide lines to ensure correct product and size before applying.In order to preserve the wood and reduce heating consumption, it is important that the sealant stays intact. The sealant should therefore be inspected at least once a year, and any flaws should be remedied using the same type of sealant as the original. In case
of any major flaws, all the sealing material must be replaced. In such cases, it must be assessed whether a different type of sealant would be more suitable than the existing one. -
Maintenance, cleaning and lubrication
Aluminium surfaces
General aluminium surface maintenance
The outer aluminium sash and frame surfaces are affected by the surrounding environment such as city and industrial areas with high traffic intensity and air pollution and coastal areas with salty air which soil and affect the surface more than clean country air.
Cleaning should be done on a regular basis and at least twice a year, maybe in connection with window cleaning. Wash sash and frame surfaces in lukewarm water with a neutral cleaning fluid such as car shampoo and wipe surfaces and edges with a cloth.
Powder coated surfaces
The external aluminium profiles are as standard chrome free and surface treated with a polyester powder coating. This treatment offers a very strong and weather-resistant surface requiring only limited maintenance. In practice, this means cleaning it a couple of times a year with a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water with a neutral cleaning fluid such as car shampoo.
Minor damage to the surface treatment will not affect the element’s durability since a natural oxide film quickly forms on exposed aluminium, preventing corrosion and white rust attacks.
However, for cosmetic reasons it may be desirable to repair such damage and Idealcombi’s Technical Department would be happy to provide advice and guidance. Call us on 01582 860 940.
Anodised aluminium surfaces
The outer aluminium covering on our products in timber|aluminium can alternatively be supplied with anodic treatment. Once the aluprofiles have been chemically prepared and cleaned thoroughly, they undergo an electrolytic process. Direct current is applied to the profiles which become anodised, thus turning the surface metal into oxide. This process continues until the desired film thickness has been achieved.
An anodised surface treatment provides excellent corrosion resistance in most environments while keeping the surface very smooth and dirt repellent. On top of that it has the ability to preserve what we call a “new” appearance.
Anodised alu-profiles are almost maintenance-free provided that the surface is cleaned a couple of times a year with a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water with a neutral cleaning fluid such as car shampoo.
Ironmongery
General ironmongery maintenance
It is important to lubricate and maintain all ironmongery to ensure easy operation and function of Idealcombi’s windows and doors, this is also a requirement to maintain the product guarantee.
For lubrication, use an acid-free lubricant followed by an acid-free spray grease. Lubrication can be made with an oil can, a syringe or a spray can with a thin pipe. For further advice on lubrication, please call Idealcombi’s Service Department on tel. 01582 860 940.
Lubrication and maintenance frequency depend on the use and the effect weather conditions, pollution, etc. have on the ironmongery.
We know from experience that ironmongery used in for instance city and industrial areas, areas with high traffic intensity and coastal areas with salty air should be lubricated and maintained more often than ironmongery in a less harsh environment.
Generally, all moveable parts on hinges and closing/locking ironmongery should be lubricated as required, however, at least once a year.
Hinges
Hinges should be lubricated in all joints during repeated activation, so that the lubricant reaches the movable arms.
The joints should be lubricated on the outside and in the crack between the arms. Use an easily penetrating acid-free oil followed by a long-lasting acid-free grease in spray form.Hinges with a sliding track
Hinges should be lubricated in all joints during repeated activation, so that the lubricant reaches the movable arms.
The joints should be lubricated on the outside and in the crack between the arms.Sliding surfaces, hinge sliders and sliding blocks should be maintained in a clean state to facilitate sliding.
IMPORTENT!
The sliding surfaces in the sliding rails are lubricated with Berner PTFE oil or equivalent along the entire length the rails.Rubber seals
Glazing gasket
Glazing gaskets are made of EPDM/cell rubbers and doe not require any special maintenance but should be kept clean and free of dirt. This is done by wiping them off once a year with lukewarm water and a neutral cleaning fluid using a cloth.
