Eco-Friendly Renovations: Aluminium Window Painting vs Replacement Gold Coast

Why Eco-Friendly Renovations Are Growing on the Gold Coast

Across the Gold Coast, more homeowners are thinking about the environmental impact of renovations. From Palm Beach to Mudgeeraba, Burleigh to Robina, people are asking:

How can I update my home without sending tonnes of waste to landfill?

What options reduce carbon footprint without compromising style?

Can I make my renovation more sustainable while still modernising?


One of the biggest decisions comes down to windows. Aluminium frames are everywhere on the Gold Coast — and they’re often the part of the home most in need of updating. The question is: Do you replace them or repaint them?

The Hidden Impact of Replacing Aluminium Windows

Window replacement is often marketed as the “obvious” solution, but few homeowners realise the environmental cost:

Manufacturing new frames – Producing new aluminium is highly energy-intensive, releasing an estimated 15–30kg of CO₂ per square metre.

Transport – New frames are shipped, adding more emissions.

Demolition waste – Old aluminium, broken glass, and damaged render go straight to landfill.

Disruption – Cutting out frames damages plaster and render, which means more building materials consumed in repairs.


While new windows look sharp, the ecological footprint is heavy.

The Sustainable Alternative: Aluminium Window Painting

Repainting aluminium frames avoids all of that waste. The benefits are significant:

Carbon savings – Spraying adds only ~1.5–3kg of CO₂ per square metre, a fraction of replacement.

Waste reduction – No demolition, no landfill.

Material efficiency – Re-uses existing aluminium.

Onsite application – No shipping of new products.

Eco-friendly coatings – Low-VOC primers and topcoats reduce harmful emissions.


For eco-conscious Gold Coast homeowners, spraying is the smarter, greener option.

Our Proven Eco-Friendly Spraying System

At RepaintPro, we use a system that balances durability with environmental responsibility:

1. Preparation – Cleaning and sanding frames to avoid wasteful stripping.


2. Masking – Protecting all surfaces so only frames are coated.


3. Priming –

Norglass All Surface Primer: 30–40 microns DFT per coat, two coats = 60–80.



4. Spraying –

Concept Acrylic Lacquer: 25–35 microns DFT per coat, total build 40–60.



5. Multiple coats – Ensures longevity so repainting isn’t needed frequently.



By extending the lifespan of your existing frames, we minimise resource use and landfill.

Why the Gold Coast Climate Makes Spraying Ideal

Gold Coast homes face UV, salt air, and humidity. These conditions accelerate frame degradation. Spraying allows you to:

Protect frames with durable coatings.

Avoid landfill by extending aluminium lifespan.

Reduce carbon footprint by skipping manufacturing.


It’s the sustainable choice built for local conditions.
