Putting yourself in the frame.
Aluminium windows and doors come in a variety of finishes.
The frames can be "naked' aluminium,
or anodised - usually the classic bronze from the 70s & 80s
or maybe your frames are coloured (or look painted) - which means they have been powder coated at the factory.
Unlike wood, aluminium doesn't rot or swell with moisture, but they can all do with a little TLC from time to time.
A quick clean with warm water and detergent works wonders on the powder coating.
The anodised frames can look a bit dull, so a light scrub with the green plastic scotchbrite-type pads and soap followed up with a little metal polish can restores its shine.
Keep away from strong solvents and abrasives and you should be fine.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
