Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for painting in Burleigh?
A: Frames are degreased, sanded for adhesion, primed, and sprayed with multiple coats.

Q: Do all aluminium windows need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding is essential to break the surface and allow primers to bond.

Q: Do you take windows out before painting?
A: No. Frames are painted in place. Larger sliding panels are removed for servicing and spraying, then reinstalled.

Q: How do you keep glass clean during painting?
A: All glass is carefully masked with tape and plastic film, leaving razor-sharp lines.

Q: Can flyscreens and security doors be painted as well?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if required.

Q: How do you prevent overspray on Burleigh’s brick, render, and timber homes?
A: We mask every surface — from bricks and render to timber decks and gardens.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes, both can be sprayed so interiors and exteriors match.

Q: How many coats are applied?
A: Typically 2–4 coats are sprayed for proper film build and durability.

Q: Can homeowners paint aluminium windows themselves?
A: It’s possible, but without sanding, primers, and spray equipment, results won’t last or look professional.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Burleigh’s coastal conditions?
A: With proper preparation and coatings, aluminium repaints last many years, even with salt air exposure. Our work carries a 6-year QBCC-backed warranty.

Q: Does the coastal sun in Burleigh cause faster fading?
A: All paint fades slowly, but with high-quality primers and finishes, colour holds extremely well under Burleigh’s UV conditions.

Q: Is black longer-lasting than white?
A: No. Both colours perform equally well when prepped and sprayed correctly.

Q: Will painted frames peel or chip?
A: Not if properly cleaned, sanded, and primed.

Q: Can scratches or damage be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Imperfections are sanded and primed so the final finish looks seamless.

Q: Can already painted frames be redone?
A: Yes. Old coatings are sanded back, re-primed, and resprayed.

Q: Do painted frames look like factory finishes?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying produces a crisp, professional result.

Q: How should I clean painted aluminium frames?
A: Use mild detergent and water only — no abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
