Maintenance
Aluminium products are characterised by their lightness, strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for detailed castings like, bollards, finials and plaques.
Simple steps can be employed when cleaning the aluminium to avoid staining and damage. The best way to keep aluminium looking pristine is regular cleaning to avoid any dirt build up. If left for an extended period of time, grime can cause staining and depending on the extent of staining will require a harsher cleaning system to remove the stain. In cleaning aluminium you should always start with the mildest method possible and only move to successively harsher treatments if absolutely necessary.
