Why This System

Corinthian's focus on doors means glazed door panels are the primary cleaning surface - larger glass panels than most windows, with wider aluminium frames and heavier hardware. Timber Corinthian doors are premium products - water saturation at door joints causes swelling and paint failure. Clean with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. As a Ventora group brand, Corinthian operates with the same quality standards and the same climate exposure as Stegbar and Trend.

Field Notes

โ€œCorinthian aluminium sliding doors have heavier track channels than windows - budget additional time for track cleaning on properties with multiple Corinthian sliding doors. See also: Ventora guide for full group context. See Stegbar guide for detailed Australian aluminium cleaning protocol.โ€
