Gone are the days when people preferred installing white doors and windows as they thought it was the only colour that suits every type of property. The personal preference of people has changed drastically in the last few years and the demand for different coloured UPVC windows has enhanced. It is an integral part of local planning requirement to fit windows whose style is similar to the once already placed. Choosing the right UPVC windows and doors will become easier if you are aware of the different options.

Two Types Of Coloured UPVC Window Finishes

• Paint Sprays
• Laminated Foils

Why Do Homeowners Prefer Spray Painted UPVC Windows?

As the name indicates, the UPVC window frames are sprayed with a coloured paint. This is generally done at the factory or during installation. If you want to change the colour of your existing windows, you can spray-paint the windows on-site. The only issue people earlier faced was that the paint started fading and peeling within a few years.

Nowadays, window manufacturers use modern paint technology so that the paint bonds well with the surface of the UPVC. They are specifically manufactured to be used with uPVC, PVC, PVCu or with hard plastic like acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS or polyester powder coatings. When applied correctly, you can expect the paint to last for around 10 years.

What Are Laminated Foil Coloured UPVC Windows?

Coloured foils are used to make these window frames. The painting process is entirely different from spray-painted UPVC windows and can be applied during the manufacturing process at the factory level. A coloured foil or skin is laid on the surface of the frames and then baked. The process secures the coloured foil and bonds it completely with the frame.

An experienced window manufacturer in Shropshire knows how to render the foil a desired texture or timber-grain effect. Your UPVC window frames will look like real timber. The only disadvantage of choosing laminated foil coloured UPVC windows is that there are limited colour options.
