Painting interior window frames
Comments (1)Can you live with them as wood for a few months first ? As a little natural element in the kitchen might be nice ? You can add white or black fittings to the window....See MoreuPVC vs. Timber windows - what to choose?!
Comments (14)Stick with your instincts and to the values of the heritage of your lovely Victorian home.....go with wood and not upvc. I'm in a Victorian home in Scotland, and 115 years on we still have the original wooden frames (still in great condition) and with the new techniques of production, you'll not have to think about painting them for a long time, but will be happy to look at them for a long time and not regret having made the wrong choice!!!...See MorePainting uPVC windowd
Comments (19)I'm pretty sure ours were Ral 1000 Green / Beige. We've got some left in the garage, i'll try and remember to dig it out. However, no two would be the same unless the same paint was used on the same surface and put on in the same manner. Ours were sprayed with cellulose paint. I don't know how many coats, but quite a few. The windows were a dark brown UPVC. I agree that yours look a little more yellowy than ours though. However, they should resemble the sample that you were given, so that's more important. They do look nice....See MoreWould you go from timber to uPVC?
Comments (6)As a rule plastic windows lower the value of a high-value property. There are much better designs, that look more natural than they used to be but close up they are and look plastic. We make wooden doors and windows or to be more precise we make bespoke - windows and doors either as existing replacements, for heritage settings, unusual sizes, unusual designs or to a certain specification. Or on a whole project, we will make parts that need to be replaced....See Morecarolgriffiths
