Why This System

KC Aluminio's turnkey service model means their systems are installed by their own teams - installation quality is typically consistent. Glazing beads, weep holes, and frame junctions are installed to a single standard, which makes the cleaning protocol more predictable than with independently fabricated systems. KC Aluminio's mid-range positioning in the Mexican market means their powder-coated finishes are standard commercial quality - not the premium coating of a Cuprum or a European system. This means they respond well to correct cleaning but show the effects of abrasive cleaning more quickly. Vitro glass is the most likely glass supply in KC Aluminio systems. The hard water mineral deposit protocol for Vitro glass applies to KC Aluminio installations - refer to the Vitro Glass guide for the full mineral removal protocol.

Pro Tips

  • On KC Aluminio sliding windows in Mexico's dusty interior regions, clean tracks before glass - dust and grit from the track transfers to your cleaning cloth and scratches glass if the order is reversed
  • Identify anodised vs powder-coated KC Aluminio frames at first visit and note it on your job card - it saves the identification step on every subsequent visit

What NOT To Do

  • Do not use abrasive pads on aluminium frames or glass
  • Do not use alkaline cleaners on anodised aluminium
  • Do not allow acid mineral removers to contact aluminium frames
  • Do not use Mexican tap water as final rinse on glass
  • Do not use solvent-based cleaners on any frame component

Field Notes

“KC Aluminio properties are often mid-market residential and commercial projects. Communication with building administrators about mineral deposit removal as a periodic service add-on is appropriate and well-received. KC Aluminio sliding door systems on Mexican residential terraces: the track channels are exposed to dust and rain. On properties near construction sites, track cleaning frequency needs to increase.”
