Problems with UPVC Painting

People are aware that UPVC Windows, UPVC Doors, Conservatories, Garage Doors, Soffits, Fascias, and Guttering may be painted rather than just replaced, thanks to the introduction of specialist UPVC and plastic paints. This has grown in popularity in recent years, owing to the availability of specialist UPVC paints and the rising expense of replacing UPVC Windows, UPVC Doors, Conservatories, Garage Doors, Soffits, Fascias, and Guttering.

Customers can actually save up to 80%, making it incredibly reasonable. However, UPVC painting is significantly more difficult than painting hardwood windows and doors.

We notice a lot of UPVC windows and doors that have been improperly painted. Many of these have been completed by do-it-yourself home owners as well as less skilled UPVC painting firms.

In reality, we were called out by a new home builder to repaint some UPVC windows and doors on residences where the owners had chosen a specific tint. They had engaged an unskilled UPVC Spraying firm, and the paint was chipping after 6 months. Paint spraying is the only way to professionally paint UPVC.

Mistakes Made When Painting UPVC

Experience is required to achieve the finest outcomes. You must also utilise the most specialised UPVC paint and industry paint spraying equipment. Experience, for example, understanding how the specialised paint works and the proper weather conditions to apply it comes from years of working with it.

You must properly prepare the UPVC frames. Otherwise, the paint will not adhere properly and will crack and peel in the future.

Other common problems when spray painting on UPVC include creating paint runs and coating it too thinly, which will result in fading.

So we'd say the biggest mistake is attempting to do it yourself or hiring inexperienced UPVC painters. Make sure you use UPVC painters with plenty of experience. Perhaps request to see jobs completed a few years back. This allows you to check if they have cracked or peeled. The key way to tell if the UPVC painters are good is to look at their previous work from years ago.

Make certain that the UPVC is painted in the desired colour.

One of the reasons you choose to have your UPVC windows or doors painted is because you have a concept of how they will look.

With so many colours available, you must ensure that your UPVC is painted the correct colour after selecting the exact shade you want.

You can choose the colour you desire using one of several paint colour guides.

The RAL colour scheme is a well-known one.

The following are our most popular UPVC paint colours right now:

UPVC Colour Swatch of Pale Green RAL 6021

UPVC Colour Swatch of Anthracite Grey RAL 7016 

How Do I Repair UPVC Painting problems?

Fixing improperly painted UPVC is similar to painting original UPVC - we recommend the following:

1.If necessary, wrap the UPVC object and the floor in plastic.

2.Peeling paint should be removed.

3.To help the paint adhere, clean the UPVC using specialised treatments.

4.Enter the current paint to provide an extra basis for the paint to cling to.

5.Clean with a damp cloth.

6.Mask the painting and brickwork that surrounds it.

Alternatively, you can contact a professional UPVC painters with many years of experience, such as us at  Midland UPVC Coatings Ltd.

Steps for UPVC painting

We do not paint UPVC with a brush, but rather using paint spraying equipment.

Our basic UPVC painting instruction begins with ensuring sure the UPVC paint is not too thick. The UPVC paint must also be thoroughly squeezed via the paint spraying gun equipment.

Our UPVC Painters will do an excellent job applying the paint. This is accomplished by uniformly overlapping each paint stroke as they go. They must move slowly when spraying, making long, straight strokes while staying the same distance away from the UPVC. We would usually begin at the corners and work our way to the larger, flatter regions.

After each area has been sprayed, we will inspect the finish for any imperfections or stains. If we notice any irregularities, we will cover them with at least 2-3 coats of paint.

This will provide you with the exact finish that every customer desires.
