Preparation & Process

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

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding before spraying?
A: Yes. Sanding is essential to break through the powder-coated surface so primers bond properly.

Q: Do you remove windows from the property before repainting?
A: No. Frames are sprayed 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 flyscreens and security doors be painted too?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if needed.

Q: How do you avoid overspray on Oxenford homes with brick, render, and timber?
A: By masking all surfaces — tiles, decks, walls, and gardens — thoroughly before spraying begins.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside aluminium frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be painted for a consistent, complete look.

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

Q: Can homeowners in Oxenford repaint their own aluminium windows?
A: You can, but without sanding, primers, and HVLP spraying, the finish won’t last.

A: Yes. Damage is smoothed and primed before respraying.
