This is the sliding-window or sliding-door track. The sill and the frame face live on mould on window sills and frames.

Where the mould sits in a track

The channel, the weepholes, and the felt or pile in some sliders. That is not the sill face or the reveal.

Clean the track, do not soak the frame

Vacuum the grit, then treat the channel with a cloth. Spot-test powdercoat and timber. Clear the weepholes so the next lot of water has somewhere to go.

Treat the channel, then dry the room

First Light in the track, after a spot-test, without soaking a timber frame. Lab tested: 99.2% on direct contact. The Protection Kit is for the still room. Free standard shipping. 60-day money-back.
