Advice or experience on painting upvc windows
Comments (4)I would recommend painting it every few years but that's only personal preference. As long as the surfaces are cleaned and then painted with the zinnser sufficiently and then I would say 2 oil based top coats (undercoat and gloss is ideal) then I can't see you having any problems...See MoreWould like window shutters but what would go with brown upvc windows?
Comments (9)I think you'll have to go with white or whatever looks best indoors in those rooms. You can always think about getting the windows colour bonded at some point instead of replacing them. Then you can choose any colour for those inside and out! You can paint UPVC yourself - All of our windows inside are painted the same colour as the walls in those rooms so that the windows blend into the walls. They were dark brown / mahogany ( vile ) - Outside they are all sage green. If you're going to paint the frames inside which will brighten the rooms and let you have whatever colour shutters you like, use Zinsser 1-2-3 primer and then paint away....See MoreReplacement windows uPVC, aluminium; white, grey or anthracite??
Comments (9)Thanks all. That's really helpful. @bchillman5 - love your flush windows, and the astragal lines - what manufacturer are they? And you are right - it is a very similar look house, and I agree that the paler grey suits the stone better. So thank you - I am very grateful for this image.

Comments (12)Depending on budget, I would replace the sliding doors with the original front door and window you could then brick up the window space giving you more storage space internally, then just add a different front door in its place. where the side window is going back towards the bay I would brick up to underside of existing window sill height and keep the window above so you don't loose to much light in the bay window. Seeing the original front door would be so much better than the sliding doors ....See MoreLori Taylor Arnold
