Painting upvc

Posted by Lisa Abel, on
I want to paint current upvc windows and upvc cladding to refresh them. How long would this last?

Richard Mckeown

Hi Lisa. I was asked recently to paint uPVC windows, dark brown, to go to a cream. A lot of decorators will tell you this cannot be done, but I had no problems at all and my client was very pleased. We used a uPVC primer from International paints, and then two top coats of your finish colour. The work is still looking good two years on and I have no doubt it will be ok for at least two or three more years before a freshen up. Hope this helps, Rich Mckeown Paint and decorate services
