Eventually your windows and doors start to look tired. One of the best ways to give your property that curb appeal is to replace them to give that new fresh look. But problems arising from that goes from the cost to the disruption and, especially, the eco waste on replacing items which most probably don’t need replacing.
Well, there is another way, re-finish them with a cost-effective high-quality paint product. We supply that in the Lechler Plasticgrip. This is a fast drying, hard wearing with an amazing finish. As a result, your neighbours will think you have fitted new.
One question, what colour would you go for. Stick to a clean new white finish or a modern Farrow & Ball colour or a popular Anthracite Grey RAL 7016, basically we can mix any colour you require.
Proper preparation is essential when spraying windows and doors. The success of any painting project relies heavily on the preparation work. Clean the surface using Lechler uPVC Cleaner solvent cleaner, anti-silicone and antistatic degreasing agent suitable to prepare plastic materials ready for painting.
Lechler Plasticgrip paint is high-quality solvent-based, which bonds on a molecular level with the uPVC, so priming is unnecessary. The initial application of paint will serve as the primer in this situation.
Adjust the nozzle of your spray-painting gun to match the sash’s direction. For horizontal sashes, utilize the horizontal nozzle, and for vertical sashes, utilize the vertical nozzle. Overlapping finishes should not be a concern; we’re aiming for an overall finish, not just the corners.
We suggest thin coats. Aim for three coats while spraying the UPVC thinly but evenly, maintaining a steady hand and direction. You should not remain on one spot for too long.
The first coat will appear patchy, but don’t be concerned The second coat will improve the color, and the third coat will blend everything together seamlessly.
Wait at least 30 minutes between each layer of paint.
