Preparation & Process

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

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

Q: Do you remove windows from the home before repainting?
A: No. Frames stay fixed. Sliding panels are removed, serviced, sprayed, and reinstalled.

Q: How do you protect glass while spraying?
A: Each pane is masked with tape and film, leaving sharp lines.

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 on Ormeau homes with render and brickwork?
A: By masking all surrounding surfaces — brick, render, decks, tiles, and gardens — before spraying begins.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside aluminium frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be sprayed for a uniform look.

Q: How many coats do you usually apply?
A: Typically 2–4 thin coats for coverage and durability.

Q: Can Ormeau homeowners repaint aluminium frames themselves?
A: It’s possible, but without sanding, primers, and HVLP spraying, the results won’t last.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Ormeau’s conditions?

A: Not when cleaned, sanded, primed, and sprayed professionally.

A: Yes. Imperfections are smoothed and primed before respraying.

A: Yes. Old coatings are sanded back, re-primed, and sprayed.

A: Yes. HVLP spraying produces a professional, smooth finish.
