Why Is Spray Painting Better Than Brush Or Roller Painting?
If you want to do more substantial renovations or redesigns as part of your spring cleaning, now is the time to take stock, make early preparations and get in touch with experts to see if you can have the home of your dreams as soon as you are ready for it.
One trick that many homeowners are using is to hire professional spray painters to give their uPVC doors, window frames, cladding, and kitchen surfaces a new lease of life for less.
It can help whether you want your home to look its best, to change its style by picking a new colour, or even if you plan to sell your home in the near future.
Why should you rely on professionals? The biggest reason is that they have access to the right spray painting equipment and high-quality paints, but another reason is that their results are vastly superior to those found with a paintbrush or roller.
What Are The Benefits Of Spray Painting UPVC?
By design, spray painting provides a high-quality, precise finish that brings out the best of your home, whilst also using the right types of paint to protect the material from internal and external hazards.
Here are just some of the benefits of spray painting your uPVC home features.
An Even Finish With Excellent Coverage
By far the biggest advantage of using spray paint is the near-guarantee of an even, smooth, comprehensive finish that reaches into the nooks and crannies of each area.
This is particularly important for older uPVC, which can sometimes have pockmarks and scratches that are not always visible until you respray.
Faster, Cheaper Rejuvenation
Unlike replacing the cladding, respraying it is significantly faster and cheaper. Many of the jobs we do only take two or three days, depending on complexity, with some small jobs potentially completed in a single long day.
Long-Lasting Durability
Paints designed for uPVC are designed to be weather resistant, have UV protection and can withstand humidity, wind, rain and even snow for years on end.
A Wide Range Of Finishes
Alongside the sheer number of colours available, there are matte, gloss and even metallic finishes available for most colours, allowing you to personalise your home.
Are There Any Benefits To Brush Or Roller Painting UPVC?
There are some benefits to using a paint brush, particularly if you are doing the job yourself and it is far closer to a touch-up than a respray.
Brushes and rollers are far cheaper than buying and learning how to use a spray gun.
They are ideal for small areas, particularly if you have a set of brushes designed to get into nooks and crannies.
Precise detailing over small areas can be easier if you are adept with a brush.
Which Factors Can Affect A UPVC Spray Paint Finish?
The quality of the uPVC itself. If your uPVC window frames, doors and cladding are dirty, weatherbeaten or damaged, you may need to prepare or even restore the finish first before painting.
The paint quality and type of paint. You must use a high-quality formulation designed specifically with uPVC in mind, much like you must choose a durable paint designed for use on wood for timber frames and doors.
Weather conditions. Avoid strong winds, rainstorms, heatwaves and high humidity as much as possible, as they can affect the ultimate finish.
