Paint Spraying for your PVC
Why replace when you can refurbish? Here at dragon coatings we can spray UPVC to any colour of your choice.
Examples of what we can paint include;
windows and doors
conservatories
pvc garage doors, cladding
soffits, fascia and gutters
With specific paint we can also paint surfaces like composite doors and GRP.
Anthracite grey (RAL 2016) is a very popular choice.
Painting the dated wood effect windows to white or any other colour is also popular. Especially inside, painting dark brown to white helps brighten up a room.
How do we paint?
- We start by masking up and surrounding areas to protect against overspray
- Silicone is removed from the surface.
- Silicone is very problematic for paint and it must be fully removed for proper adhesion.
- Next the surface must be keyed properly to give a surface a profile for the paint to bond.
- The surface also requires a thorough cleaning to remove any contaminants that could interfere with paint adhesion
- If any surface repairs are required they would be completed at this stage
- Opening sashes are removed and sprayed separately when possible
- Paint is ready to be applied!
- Weather must be dry, under 80percent humidity and not go below 3 degrees overnight
- The paint is touch dry very quickly but takes several weeks to fully cure. For high traffic areas like door frames or thresholds care must be take not to damage the paint before fully cured.
- We encourage you to complete any building works first before getting door frames sprayed.
- After painting, silicone is re-applied
- We mainly paint with solvent based paint outside but we have water based options for interior windows, hard wearing but saves on fumes in the house.
- We guarantee all our work for 10 years
Colour Options
- Our paint suppliers can mix to any common colour scheme.
- The most common scheme for exterior windows is RAL but there is also British Standard and decorative brands such as Farrow and Ball.
- Gloss levels are 10%, 30% and full gloss.
If the supplier does not have a colour in their system a colour sample card can be sent to them to be matched for an extra fee. - Colour representations on screen are not always very accurate so look at a variety of different images to get an idea of colour.
- Google image search houses by colour can be a helpful way to narrow down the options.
- Physical colour charts are the best way to view a colour but online viewing can help narrow down the search.
How much will it cost?
- Cost depends on a number things including how many panes or opening sashes, access and how much prep is required. I will need to see some photos or the windows in person to give an accurate price.
- To give you an idea if spraying is the right choice for your budget, prices start around £100-125 per window.
- Single doors start at about £175 but go up if the frame or surrounding windows are included.
- Windows with more sashes or difficult to reach will cost a bit more.
- We use our own access wherever possible to save on installing scaffold.
- Prices are for one side only unless otherwise mentioned.
- Price includes removal of silicone and re-siliconing in matching colour (where possible) as well as materials.
- We do not ask for a deposit unless an unusual colour match is requested
