Your aluminum awnings and railings can last 20 to 30 years. A little fall care is how you get there.
The two things that wear them down over Michigan winters are freeze-thaw cycles and road salt, and both work slowly. The good news? The fix is simple. On a mild fall Saturday:
- Wash with warm water and mild soap
- Clear leaves from railing posts and awning corners
- Check for loose hardware and cracked caulk
- Keep salt and ice melt away from the aluminum
