Maintenance

The maintenance of mahogany windows and doors.

Here are some general guide lines to the maintenance of mahogany windows and doors, supplied by Amanda Windows and Doors A/S.

When leaving the factory, the elements are oiled, but it is recommended that you after assembly treat the elements once again with Amanda Wood Oil nr. 7092.

All types of small scratches etc. are easily removed easily by sanding with sandpaper in the wet oil.

If the elements have been oiled in the last 2-3 years, it is enough to treat them with Amanda Wood Oil nr. 7092. If the elements are very tarnished – uneven in colour, or if it has been a while since they have gotten oil, the following is advised:

1. Light sanding
2. All loose particles is brushed away
3. Application of Amanda Wood Oil nr.7842 with pigment.
4. When the surface is dry, Amanda Wood Oil nr.7092 is applied

The elements will afterwards appear as almost new again.

When you are dry sanding, use sandpaper with
gravity 120 – 150.

When you are wet sanding, use sandpaper with gravity 180.

Wet grinding gives the elements a very smooth surface.
Hinges and other metal parts should be lubricated about once a year.
