Tired-looking uPVC can dampen the aesthetic appeal of your home, especially when the paint starts to crack, chip and peel off. Luckily this is not something you need to fret about. There are several ways you can transform the appearance of your uPVC windows, doors and conservatories without having to splurge on replacements. From routine cleaning and maintenance to spray painting, let’s take a look at some of the ways you can give your uPVC that much needed transformation.
Cleaning and maintenance
Sometimes all your uPVC windows and doors need is some good old fashioned TLC. Dust and grime deposits can cause the surface of uPVC to become greasy, which in turn dulls its appearance. Luckily with a few tools, you can have your uPVC back to its original glory in no time.
To clean uPVC, you will need a gentle solution (usually one part vinegar and two parts water or a mixture of one part detergent and two parts water), a spray bottle, a pair of gloves and a soft scrubbing brush or towel wipe. Start by spraying the uPVC surface with the spray bottle containing the solution, then allow some time for the solution to break apart the grime after which you proceed to scrub the surface gently with the brush. Once you are done, wipe away all the dirt gently and allow the surface to dry.
uPVC spray painting
This is the top choice for either refreshing faded uPVC or completely transforming its appearance by giving it a new colour. uPVC spray painting comes with many great benefits, such as; a long-lasting quality finish (up to 10 years guarantee) that won’t peel or fade regardless of the weather, a wide range of available colours, and it is very cost-effective. The process of uPVC spray painting, however, requires a great level of skill and the use of specialised equipment, so it should be handled by experienced professional uPVC spray painters. Letting the experts handle your spray painting is the only way to guarantee a professional-looking finish.
Coloured uPVC trims
A uPVC trim provides neat, water-tight edges and a professional-looking finish for different kinds of installations such as showers, bathrooms, windows and doors. Adding the right coloured uPVC finishing trims to complement your uPVC windows and doors can transform its entire appearance. Professional painters offer a wide range of coloured uPVC trims you can use to finish any project. They also offer spray painting services to paint uncoloured uPVC trims in any colour of your choosing, including a colour matching service to help you match your coloured trim with your existing uPVC windows and doors.
Colour change
Another way to transform uPVC is to change its colour, and there are different ways to go about this. The most common methods are; liquid dip, vinyl wrapping and spray painting. While each method can effectively transform the colour of your uPVC, spray painting which we mentioned earlier, is the top choice.
Conclusion
One of the top advantages of uPVC is its customisability which makes it easier to transform its appearance. With some maintenance and spray painting, faded and tired-looking uPVC can be totally transformed into a vibrant new look.
