• GTO Aluminum requires a notice within 30 days of the detection of any material defect and must seek authorization from GTO Aluminum to process any claims for repairs and/or refinishing work. Claims can be made by writing to GTO Aluminum via email (info@gtoaluminum.com). The claimant must provide proof of purchase. GTO Aluminum must be provided with an acceptable period of time to inspect the claim for verification before the claim can be fully processed.
• Post installation scraping or scratches to the surface or damages to the GTO Aluminum product(s) caused by shipping or mishandling and/or improper installation.

Required Maintenance: GTO Aluminum requires freshwater cleaning and maintenance quarterly to prevent corrosion from accumulated deposits.

Start by wiping the surface gently with a wet sponge or microfiber cloth to remove any loose dirt and debris.

All GTO Aluminum products should be cleaned with either a soft cloth or a brush, using a solution of mild soap and warm water. The best type of soap to use for this purpose is one that has emulsifiers that can break down the most common types of stains.

Pressure washing is an efficient method of cleaning. The pressure washer should be used on a low-pressure setting with filtered water. Recommended not to use unfiltered tap water or groundwater.

Avoid Harsh Chemical Cleaners – Powder coatings can be damaged by harsh solvents.

Costumer is required to keep a maintenance log of all routine maintenance performed on GTO Aluminum material(s). Log must be submitted on an annual basis to (info@gtoaluminum.com).
