Chile's extreme climate variability from north to south creates the widest range of installation conditions for any single-country profile supplier in South America. Atacama desert installations face UV levels among the highest on Earth. Central Santiago installations have a Mediterranean dry summer and moderate wet winter. Southern Chile (Valdivia, Puerto Montt) has some of the highest annual rainfall in the world. Chilean fabricators using Alusa profiles produce windows that span this full climate range. The profile material is the same. The installation environment is radically different. Santiago is Chile's dominant residential market. Mediterranean climate means dry summer (November to March) with low mould risk, and wet winter (April to October) with drainage challenges. This is different from the tropical mould-focused protocols required in Brazil.

This is how I clean Alusa Chile windows. The tools and technique below come from 25 years of daily professional work on the glass. Every step has been tested on real installations and adapted specifically for Alusa Chile systems.

• ✕Do not use abrasive pads on aluminium or PVC profiles
• ✕Do not use solvent-based cleaners on PVC
• ✕Do not use acid cleaners near aluminium frames
• ✕Do not skip weep hole inspection in southern Chile installations
