Painting sash windows can be a difficult challenge, as the last thing you want to do is get paint in unwanted places, such as on blinds or glass panes. Timber windows can lose their colour and fade over time due to continual rainfall or long-term exposure to sunlight. This can make them somewhat difficult or even expensive to maintain, as you may need to hire painting professionals for more tough to reach windows within your property.
If required to paint sash windows, be sure to use masking tape to avoid getting paint on any internal or external walls. Additionally, be sure the window has been cleaned and is dry before applying paint. One of the biggest challenges with painting sash windows is ensuring that the new paint doesn’t cause the window to stick as it opens or closes. The last thing a homeowner wants is a window that compromises its primary function for aesthetics. This is why uPVC sash windows are an excellent choice, thanks to their long-lasting colours and smooth performance.
Painting uPVC sash windows isn’t necessary. Instead, they can be manufactured in a specific hue or foiled with accurate-looking woodgrain styles to suit almost whatever the customer needs.
Low Maintenance uPVC Sash Windows
One of the many advantages of uPVC sash windows is that they’re incredibly easy to maintain. Unlike timber windows, our uPVC sash windows don’t require any painting; instead, the uPVC itself can be manufactured in a variety of different shades to suit a property’s aesthetic.
Homeowners won’t have to worry about hiring professional painters to refurbish their windows, nor will they need to learn how to paint their frames themselves if you install our uPVC sash windows.
Painted sash windows can fade over time due to weather or damage, but our uPVC sash windows are manufactured to last decades with minimal upkeep. Sash window painting can be tiresome, but these windows will never need to be painted, varnished, or sanded. All it takes is a sponge or wet cloth to wipe away any built-up dirt and keep the windows looking almost as good as the day they were made.
