At Northern Stainless, craftsmanship is at the top of our minds.  Your products are fabricated by a few of the North's best welders.  They are the definition of blue collar.  They are backed by a design team who are fully immersed into CAD software.  The systems in place allow for work to flow through with minimal interruptions. Putting in efforts before allows the process be more efficient. Northern Stainless will continue to improve based on the demands of the market.

 
 
 

 

TLC

Northern makes every effort to obtail only the very best stainless steel available in North America. In fabricating stainless steel ladders and rail goods, Northern controls the quality of its workmanship and guarantees that quality. However, since Northern does not manufacture or control the type and quantities of chemicals in the pool during use, Northern cannot be responsible for the changes in, or failure of, the stainless steel materials.  

Stainless steel is not impervious to damage – chemicals and off-gassing from strong chemicals can damage the product, however proper care can mitigate these effects. Stainless Steel forms a natural invisible film (chrome-oxide) which protects the finish. When rusting contaminants (chloride salts, sulfides etc) are allowed to remain in contact with this protective film, they may break it down, which will accelerate the corrosion of the stainless steel. Regular maintenance as outlined below, will maintain the beauty of stainless steel.

 

 

Maintenance

Please follow the basic guidelines below to ensure the continued beauty of your stainless steel products.

  • Never store any stainless products near chemical products and never add any chemicals to pool water near any of the stainless steel product.

  • Occasional maintenance is required to maintain a proper finish on all stainless surfaces, we recommend the monthly application of a wax product (e.g. good car wax) to maintain the luster of your stainless steel product. And weekly cleaning with a quality glass cleaner and soft cloth.

  • A quality glass cleaner with a soft cotton cloth will help bring back the shine of your stainless steel product.

  • If a stainless steel product shows signs of discolouration or rust, this is typically only a surface rust mark and a mild non-abrasive stainless steel or brass cleaner and a damp cloth can be used to remove surface build-up and restore shine. The monthly application of a wax product (e.g. good car wax) will maintain the luster of your stainless steel product.

  • When any stainless product is used in an indoor facility, it is much more imperative that regular maintenance be done, vapours from chemicals in the air are trapped and will attack all metal components and cause discolouration or rusting.

  • All metal products around swimming pools need to be electrically bonded in accordance with local codes. Among other advantages, this will help preserve the superior shine and extend the life of the product.

Following these simple procedures will extend the life of your products and keep them looking good for many years.
