VBH Introduces Aftercare Products
VBH has introduced the greenteQ Cleaning and Care Kit, which contains the basic products that are required to keep windows & doors looking smart and working properly.
VBH is the hardware firm behind the greenteQ locks brand and is one of the largest suppliers of security products in the UK.
What’s in the kit
Supplied in a sturdy recyclable box, the kit includes a non-abrasive cleaner and cloth that provide streak-free cleaning of PVC-U, aluminium and painted timber frames. The cleaner is PH-neutral, so can also be used to clean window and door furniture without damaging the decorative finish.
Oil
There is a bottle of fitting oil to lubricate the moving parts of the hardware, although VBH points out that this should not be used to lubricate profile cylinders.
Also included is a seal care solution to keep the gaskets soft and flexible to provide perfect weather sealing and closing action long into the future.
Finally, the kit contains user instructions.
Lube
VBH has also recently introduced its greenteQ Dry Lube, which has been specially formulated for the internal workings of all profile cylinders and other locks, including padlocks.
VBH says the lube penetrates deep into the cylinder’s barrel to clean, lubricate and protect.
Dry Lube displaces moisture and can free up rusted and frozen locks. Once applied, it forms a barrier that protects against the formation of dirt, dust and rust deposits that can cause stiff operation and on occasion, jammed cylinders.
Maintenance
Dan Powell, head of brand at VBH says: “Even the best windows, doors and hardware will not operate at their optimum forever, without proper care and maintenance.
“Some consumers still labour under the misapprehension that windows and doors are maintenance-free, while others try to do the right thing but with the wrong cleaner or lubricant. Getting that wrong will always do more damage than good.
“We at VBH want to ensure the end user understands why they should maintain their frames, furniture and locks and why it is important to use the correct products. We now inform those homeowners who have registered for any of our direct guarantees about the ‘hows and whys’ of maintenance and which products to use.”
