1. What is uPVC paint spraying? uPVC paint spraying is a process in which high-quality paint is applied to uPVC surfaces (such as windows, doors, fascias, and conservatories) using a spray system. This method is used to revitalize the appearance of old or faded uPVC items by providing a fresh, durable finish without the need for replacement.

2. Can any uPVC surface be spray painted? Yes, almost any uPVC surface can be spray painted, including windows, doors, conservatories, fascias, soffits, and guttering. It’s an ideal solution for surfaces that have become discolored, faded, or worn over time, allowing them to look brand new again.

3. Why should I choose paint spraying over replacing my uPVC windows and doors? uPVC paint spraying is a cost-effective and efficient alternative to replacing your windows and doors. It’s significantly cheaper, requires less time, and has minimal disruption. Additionally, it’s an eco-friendly option as it reduces waste by refurbishing existing materials rather than discarding them.

4. How long does uPVC paint spraying take? The duration of the project depends on the size and number of surfaces being sprayed. However, most uPVC paint spraying jobs can be completed within 1 to 2 days. This includes preparation, the painting process, and drying time.

5. Will the paint last, and how long will it stay looking fresh? When done professionally, uPVC paint spraying can last for many years. The paint used is specially formulated to be durable and resistant to weathering, fading, and chipping. 

6. Do I need to prepare my uPVC surfaces before spraying? Whilst we will handle the preparation, some general steps are taken to ensure optimal results. The uPVC surface will be thoroughly cleaned and any dirt, grease, or peeling paint will be removed. A primer may also be applied to improve adhesion and ensure the paint bonds properly.

7. What colors can I choose from for uPVC paint spraying? You can choose from a vast range of colors, including any from standard color systems like RAL, Farrow & Ball, or custom shades. Professional painters can match your color of choice with precision to create the exact look you desire, whether you want a bold statement or a subtle, neutral tone.

8. Is uPVC paint spraying environmentally friendly? Yes, uPVC paint spraying is an eco-friendly option. By repainting existing uPVC windows and doors, you’re helping to reduce waste and the environmental impact of manufacturing new materials. Additionally, many modern paints used for spraying have low or zero VOC (volatile organic compounds), making them safer for both the environment and your health.

9. How durable is uPVC paint compared to the original finish? When done correctly, uPVC paint spraying can often be more durable than the original finish. The paints used are designed to be long-lasting, resistant to UV rays, dirt, and harsh weather conditions. As long as proper maintenance is followed, the finish can stay vibrant and intact for years.

10. Will the paint peel, fade, or chip over time? Professional-grade uPVC spray paints are designed to resist peeling, fading, and chipping better than standard coatings. However, the longevity of the finish depends on several factors, including the quality of existing uPVC, the weather conditions, and how well the surface is maintained. Regular cleaning can help preserve the finish.

11. Can uPVC paint spraying be done on both internal and external surfaces? Yes, uPVC paint spraying is suitable for both internal and external surfaces. Whether you’re refreshing the interior of a conservatory or repainting your front door and windows, the same high-quality paint can be used to achieve a professional finish on both types of surfaces.

12. How do I maintain my newly sprayed uPVC surfaces? Maintaining freshly sprayed uPVC surfaces is easy. Regular cleaning with soapy water and a soft cloth is usually enough to keep them looking fresh. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the paint. 

13. Will uPVC paint spraying affect the functionality of my windows and doors? No, the paint spraying process does not affect the functionality of your windows or doors. We ensure to mask off areas that should not be painted (such as hinges, locks, and handles) to ensure that the mechanisms continue to work as they should.

14. How do I know if my uPVC is suitable for paint spraying? Most uPVC surfaces are suitable for paint spraying, but there are exceptions. If your windows or doors have significant damage, such as cracking or warping, it might be worth considering replacement. We will assess your uPVC’s condition and advise you accordingly prior to any work being completed.

15. Will the paint on my uPVC surfaces fade in the sun? High-quality uPVC spray paints are UV-resistant and designed to maintain their vibrancy even under prolonged exposure to the sun. However, over time, any painted surface may experience some fading, especially if it’s exposed to harsh conditions. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help keep the colors looking fresh.

16. How much does uPVC paint spraying cost? The cost of uPVC paint spraying varies depending on the size of the project, the number of surfaces being sprayed, and the complexity of the job. Generally, it is much more affordable than full window and door replacement. For a personalised quote, it’s best to contact a us directly for an assessment.

17. Can I spray my uPVC windows and doors a different color than the original? Absolutely! One of the main advantages of uPVC paint spraying is the ability to completely change the color of your windows and doors. Whether you want a dramatic contrast or a subtle change, professional color matching ensures you get the exact shade you desire.

18. Is there any downtime for my windows or doors after spraying? After the paint has been applied, there is a brief drying period. Typically, you can expect the surface to be dry to the touch within a few hours, but we recommend avoiding heavy use or exposure to the elements for 24-48 hours to ensure the paint has fully cured.
