Preparation & Process

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

Q: Do all aluminium windows need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks the surface of the powder coat so primers can bond.

Q: Do you remove windows during repainting?
A: No. Frames are painted in place. Large sliding doors are removed, sprayed, serviced, and reinstalled.

Q: How do you protect glass in high-rise apartments while spraying?
A: Every pane is masked with tape and plastic to ensure clean, razor-sharp edges.

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

Q: How do you prevent overspray in units with balconies?
A: We fully mask all areas — balcony glass, tiles, brickwork, and flooring — to protect surrounding surfaces.

Q: Do you spray both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both can be painted for a consistent look.

Q: How many coats are normally applied?
A: Usually 2–4 coats, sprayed thinly for coverage and durability.

Q: Can I DIY repaint aluminium windows in Broadbeach?
A: You can, but without sanding, primers, and professional spraying equipment, results won’t last.

Durability & Maintenance

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

Q: Does strong sun on beachfront apartments cause faster fading?
A: All paint fades slowly, but we use high-quality coatings that resist UV extremely well.

Q: Is black more durable than white?
A: No. Both colours perform equally when prepared and applied properly.

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

Q: Can scratches be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Imperfections are sanded smooth and primed so the finish is seamless.

Q: Can aluminium that was previously painted 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 provides a crisp, professional look.

Q: How should painted aluminium be cleaned?
A: Use mild detergent and water — avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals.
