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 MoreIs painting UPVC window frames a bad idea?
Comments (6)I know this thread is slightly old now, but I've just used Bedec msp paint on the outside of my upvc porch and it's amazing stuff! Would highly recommend (took me years to pluck up the courage to try it) I spoke to the company's rep and got advice on what to use. Clean with an anti-fungal cleaner (NOT sugar soap as that leaves a residue) let dry. Scour with a green scoured pad OR a v v fine sandpaper which is only to take off the sheen and not to scratch the plastic. Wipe clean with water and let dry. Apply the paint with a brush not too thickly or thinly. Wait to dry 2-6 hours then repaint. Takes one month to cure. My experience - I did black over brown and 2 coats was fine. I found all the brushes I tried (not real hair ones) did leave some marks but I think that's due to the paint. Don't go over it too much in one spot. It's quite thick - plasticed when it dries so work quickly. Less of an issue inside when the sun isn't heating it up of course. Water based so cleans up easily and good range of colours. No primer required so v speedy job! I debated whether to try this or the bullseye 123 primer etc but I'm glad I went for this as it was a lot less work and it looks brilliant....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 MoreHelp please: painting exterior of window frames different colour
