Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for repainting in Bundall?
A: Frames are cleaned with degreasers, sanded, primed, and sprayed with multiple thin coats.

Q: Do all frames need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks the surface so primers bond effectively.

Q: Do you remove windows before painting?
A: No. Frames stay in place. Sliding panels are removed, serviced, sprayed, and reinstalled.

Q: How is glass protected while spraying?
A: Every pane is masked with tape and protective film, leaving crisp, straight lines.

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

Q: How do you avoid overspray on Bundall’s rendered and canal-side homes?
A: We mask all surrounding surfaces — render, tiles, decking, stonework, and gardens — before spraying.

Q: Do you spray both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be repainted for consistency.

Q: How many coats are applied?
A: Usually 2–4 spray coats for durability and coverage.

Q: Can I repaint my own aluminium windows?
A: You can, but without proper primers, sanding, and spray equipment, results won’t last.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Bundall’s conditions?
A: With correct preparation, painted frames last many years. Our workmanship is backed by a 6-year QBCC warranty.

Q: Does living near canals affect the durability of paint?
A: Salt and humidity are harsher, but with high-quality coatings, frames hold colour and finish extremely well.

Q: Is black more durable than white on aluminium?
A: No. Both last equally well when properly prepared.

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

Q: Can scratches be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Damage is smoothed out and primed before repainting.

Q: Can previously painted aluminium be redone?
A: Yes. Old coatings are sanded back, primed, and sprayed again.

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

Q: How should I clean repainted aluminium windows?
A: Use mild detergent and water — avoid abrasives or solvents.

A: Yes. Matching them completes the upgrade.

Q: Can garage doors be resprayed to match new frame colours?
A: Yes. Garage doors are often updated at the same time as windows.

A: Yes. We replace rollers and clean tracks while repainting doors.
