VBH Introduces Aftercare Products

VBH, the hardware specialist behind the greenteQ brand, has introduced two new products to expand its aftercare range.

The greenteQ Cleaning and Care Kit contains the basic products that are required to keep windows and doors in pristine decorative and working condition.

Supplied in a sturdy recyclable box, the kit includes a non-abrasive cleaner and cloth that provide streak-free cleaning of PVCu, 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.

There is a bottle of fitting oil to lubricate the moving parts of the hardware, although VBH are at pains to point 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 and, finally, the kit contains user instructions.

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 advise that the ‘Lube’ penetrates deep into the cylinder’s barrel to clean, lubricate, and protect, by breaking down deposits deep inside the lock to ensure ‘perfect operation’.

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.

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.”
