Why is window spraying in Cardiff so popular?
Spraying UPVC windows (and doors) is a popular option for homeowners who want to boost their property’s curb appeal and appearance. But the question is why is window spraying in Cardiff becoming a more popular renovation method across the City? First, we’ll look at the materials of what windows are made up of. Then what spraying them actually is. Then finally the reason it is becoming the go-to method for home and business improvements.
What exactly are UPVC windows?
Building materials such as UPVC (UnPlasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) have been used in place of wood and iron in the construction of homes. Window frames, windowsills, doors, garage doors, and pipes are all examples of applications. Since vinyl polymer and chlorine atoms are joined to form UPVC, it is a low-cost, high-efficiency material for windows and doors. Colours and finishes are also available in a wide range, from wood effects to matte and glossy.
What is window spraying in Cardiff?
Although windows come in a variety of colours, some homeowners, businesses, and landlords prefer to change the colour of their UPVC windows. Transforming each window frame, door and windowsill or covering the current colour to achieve this effect. Our UPVC spraying Cardiff company is where it’s at! To change the look of a property, spray painting windows or doors is a method that can be used to paint furniture and is less messy and time-consuming.
What are the reasons for the rise in popularity of spraying windows in Cardiff?
Many people choose to have their windows sprayed because this fairly new service is readily available from a variety of professionals. So let’s take a look at what’s so appealing about it.
Cost-effective
The cost of replacing all of a home’s windows and doors can run into tens of thousands of pounds. But the UPVC spray painting cost, on the other hand, is much cheaper. With each average-sized window costing between £100-£200. In part, this is because windows are so easily sprayed by experts.
To prevent overspray, UPVC window spray painters cover the glass and brickwork before beginning work on your home’s transformation.
An array of colours is available
Another factor in the popularity of spray painting is the dizzying display of options it provides. People can pick from a wide variety of colours and finishes, such as matte, glossy, or lovely wood grain. As a result, homeowners can have their windows refinished to look brand new and to coordinate with their existing colour schemes.
If you want your house to be a particular colour, ranging from anthracite grey (this is the most popular) to bright yellow, a professional can help you realise your vision. Your windows will look brand new after they’ve painted the UPVC! Keep in mind that you can have your windows painted in a different colour than your front door.
Prolongs and extends the life of your windows
Many people prefer spraying their windows because it aids in the material’s longevity. Even though Cardiff isn’t exactly a sunny City, the colour of UPVC windows and door frames and doors can fade over time due to UV light damage. However, when you spray paint window frames, they look like new again.
For at least a decade, the colour you apply to your windows will remain vibrant. The paint simply adheres to the UPVC’s surface because it is not a porous material. Furthermore, many companies (including us) will guarantee that the paint they apply will last for at least 10 years without peeling, flaking, or fading.
Better than the other options available
Your first option is to have them fully replaced which is a costly endeavour. Another option is to vinyl-wrap each piece of UPVC before cutting it out. For many reasons, spraying windows rather than vinyl wrapping is preferred.
The process of wrapping vinyl is time-consuming
- It is more expensive to cover your windows in vinyl because of the cost of materials.
- Vinyl wrapping has a short lifespan, lasting only about five years on average.
- When it comes to vinyl-wrapping an entire home’s worth of UPVC windows and doors it can be a lengthy process. Spraying windows is a better option for exterior renovations.
Increases the value of a home or property
A property’s curb appeal is a factor in determining its value. Increased curb appeal can be achieved with newly sprayed windows and doors. Front doors, window frames, and garage doors that have been well-painted are more appealing to buyers. For the next decade, buyers can expect their UPVC to look just as good as when it was installed.
Changes the appearance of a building
When it comes to making a building or a home look better, it’s hard to overstate the importance of colour. Adding a personal touch to a bland property can transform it into a home. Maybe your existing windows are not that old and you’ve just had a change of heart about the current colour. Or maybe you bought a house and the windows are in good condition but an old-fashioned colour? Then spraying could be the right solution for you.
How can I paint my UPVC windows without a professional?
You can paint your windows and doors yourself using spray paint or by hand. There is a 50/50 chance that you will succeed! When it comes to purchasing all the necessary supplies, including spray paint, preparing your UPVC and covering your windows and brickwork, you can do it yourself. But if you’re inexperienced, you may not get a professional-looking finish and after everything, it’s probably cheaper just to hire a specialist.
Before beginning any window spraying, you should, at the very least, consult with a professional. But we think it’s best to hire an expert. That way, you can rest assured that the work will be of a high standard and that it will enhance the aesthetic appeal of your house. Experienced UPVC painters can complete the job more quickly than you can and do an amazing job. So this will give your home a beautiful finish that will last for at least 10 years.
