Before we answer that we need to advise that people think it is paint that goes onto your UPVC to repaint it and spray it. But it isn’t a paint it is a specially formulated coating for UPVC, hence our company name Midland UPVC Coatings.

A professionally applied UPVC coating should last over 10 years easily and we know it can actually last over 20 years and possibly longer than your frames survive for but unfortunately it is expensive.

If you have asked for multiple quotes from various UPVC painters you may see some quotes much cheaper than the top end ones. This is because they will not be using a quality UPVC coating to paint your UPVC. They may be possibly using a UPVC paint to spray the UPVC that will not last more than 2 years. There are paints on the market that can be applied to plastic but it is not recommended for applying to UPVC if you want it to last some time.

You see each season brings its own weather conditions that bombard the painted/coated UPVC throughout the year.

In the heat of the summer UPVC will expand and in the cold of the winter the UPVC will contract. The winter brings frost, ice and snow conditions. If it is not the correct coating it will start to delaminate by the spring leaving you in a mess.

A professional UPVC coating used for UPVC painting will have uv stabilisers in it and be flexible enough to move throughout the different seasons.

So looking for cheap costs for UPVC painting is really a false economy.

Obtaining cheap quotes may also indicate that the company has no real experience in UPVC painting and spraying.

You see you also need to have the knowledge and understanding of the best weather conditions when applying UPVC paint. We can guarantee your paint colour will last over 10 years because we also know how best to apply the UPVC paint colour coating.

Will UV Rays Damage Painted UPVC Windows & Doors

As mentioned UPVC should only be painted will specialist UPVC paint and coating. This is because a quality UPVC coating with have uv stabilisers. Couple this with applying it in the right temperature and weather conditions will ensure UV rays or any weather will not affect your painted UPVC windows and doors. Even a bit of cold weather can create a dew which in turn can affect the overall quality of the paint finish. Obviously also applying paint to UPVC in the cold lengthens the drying time and leaves it exposed to the chance of other problems.
