What Experts Do to Prepare Your Vestibule for Off-Season Storage

Winter can be brutal in Chicago, and having a reliable vestibule to protect your entryway is crucial for braving the cold.

Don’t risk damaging or prematurely aging your vestibule by neglecting its care during off-season storage.

Our team of experts knows exactly how to address wear and protect materials, preserving the longevity of your vestibule for future use.

Here are the steps we will take to prepare your winter vestibule for off-season storage.

A Thorough Cleaning of All Components 

Professionals perform a deep and comprehensive cleaning of all its elements to ensure your winter vestibule is preserved for future use. This process eliminates harmful residues and extends the lifespan of the materials.

The cleaning tasks include the following steps:

  • Removing embedded dirt and debris: All surfaces, including panels, frames, and hardware, are carefully cleaned to eliminate accumulated particles that can cause wear or scratching during storage. 
  • Treating salt and chemical buildup: Special attention is given to areas exposed to road salt and chemicals, as these can lead to corrosion and weakening of materials over time. 
  • Inspecting for mold and mildew: Any signs of moisture-induced damage, such as mold or mildew growth, are addressed to prevent further spread and ensure proper preservation. 
  • Polishing and protecting surfaces: After cleaning, materials are treated with protective solutions to enhance durability, prevent discoloration, and safeguard against environmental damage during storage. 

These meticulous cleaning steps are key to preparing your vestibule for a successful off-season storage period.

Repairing Any Defects

During the cleaning process, our experts conduct a thorough inspection to identify any damages that need attention before storage. If any defects are found, we will repair them using precise and efficient methods to ensure your vestibule is in optimal condition for future use.

Repair tasks may include fixing holes or tears in the covering, straightening bent frames, or replacing damaged hardware. These repairs are essential for avoiding disruptions during installation when you’re ready to use your winter vestibule again.

Trusting professionals to handle these repairs ensures a smooth transition from storage to reinstallation without any hiccups along the way.

Disassembling Components With Care 

Disassembly is handled with attention to detail to ensure all parts are kept in excellent condition. Professionals at Chicago Awning Solutions gently remove frames, panels, and coverings, preventing unnecessary strain or damage to the materials during the process. Every step is performed methodically to protect the vestibule’s structural integrity. 

Once each piece is removed, the components are labeled and stored in an organized manner. Proper cataloging allows for efficient identification and simplifies the reinstallation process. This approach minimizes the risk of missing parts and ensures your winter vestibule is ready to perform effectively next season.
