How Often Should You Inspect and Clean Your ACP Louvers?
Regular inspection and cleaning are the foundation of effective ACP louvers maintenance. Ideally, louvers should be inspected at least twice a year, or more frequently in coastal or polluted areas. For cleaning, it is best to use a soft microfibre cloth or sponge with a mild, non-abrasive detergent diluted in clean water. Harsh chemicals, strong solvents, or acidic cleaners should always be avoided, as these can damage the protective PVDF or FEVE coating that gives ACP sheet louvers their sheen and corrosion resistance. A gentle rinse with low-pressure water, followed by air-drying or wiping with a lint-free cloth, helps retain the panel’s finish and prevents streaking.
In areas with heavy dust deposition, such as near highways or construction zones, ACP louvers panels may require more frequent attention ideally, a light monthly cleaning to prevent the buildup of grime in joints and operable mechanisms. Periodic maintenance also helps preserve colour uniformity, ensuring that façades continue to reflect the architectural vision originally intended.
Ultimately, consistent cleaning is not merely a cosmetic measure but a preventive one. When combined with regular inspection, it extends the service life of ACP louvers while maintaining both their structural performance and visual elegance.
