Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Window Painting in Oxenford



General Questions

Q: Can aluminium windows in Oxenford homes be repainted?
A: Yes. Aluminium frames in Oxenford — from family estates to acreage homes — can be sanded, primed, and resprayed for a sharp, modern finish.

Q: Is repainting aluminium windows a good option in Oxenford?
A: Absolutely. Many older homes still have bronze or cream-coloured frames. Repainting provides an instant update without replacement.

Q: Do you repaint sliding and stacker doors as well?
A: Yes. Sliding glass doors, stackers, and French doors are all repainted to match the new window frame colour.

Q: Is painting aluminium frames better than replacing them?
A: In most cases, yes. Painting achieves the same fresh look for far less cost and with less disruption.

Q: Do repainted frames look like new windows?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying produces a smooth, factory-quality finish.




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.




Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Oxenford’s conditions?
A: With proper preparation, painted frames last many years. All work is covered by a 6-year QBCC-backed warranty.

Q: Does Oxenford’s mix of suburban estates and acreage properties affect durability?
A: Both rural and suburban homes perform well with our coatings, even under high UV.

Q: Is black longer-lasting than white for aluminium windows?
A: No. Both last equally when applied professionally.

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

Q: Can scratches or marks be fixed before repainting?
A: Yes. Damage is smoothed and primed before respraying.

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

Q: Do painted aluminium frames look factory-made?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying produces a smooth, professional finish.

Q: How should painted aluminium frames be cleaned?
A: Use mild detergent and water — avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents.




Property-Specific

Q: Should I repaint aluminium windows before selling in Oxenford?
A: Yes. Fresh frames improve the overall presentation of your property in photos and inspections.

Q: Do buyers notice aluminium frame colours in Oxenford?
A: Definitely. Outdated frame colours are highly visible and can make homes look older.

Q: Is repainting worthwhile for rental properties?
A: Yes. Updated frames improve appeal for tenants and property managers.

Q: Will repainting improve the street appeal of my Oxenford home?
A: Yes. New frame colours tie in with render, roofing, and landscaping.

Q: Should flyscreens and security doors be painted as well?
A: Yes. Consistent finishes across all elements complete the update.

Q: Can garage doors be painted in the same colour as window frames?
A: Yes. Garage doors are often repainted at the same time as aluminium frames.

Q: Can sliding doors be serviced during repainting?
A: Yes. We replace rollers and service tracks while repainting doors.

Q: Do colonial or French-style windows repaint well?
A: Yes. Colonial bars are masked and sprayed carefully.

Q: Can louvres be painted too?
A: Yes. Louvres can be sprayed to match surrounding frames.




Commercial & Larger Projects

Q: Do you repaint aluminium shopfronts in Oxenford?
A: Yes. We handle retail and commercial aluminium repainting in the area.

Q: Do you use different coatings for commercial aluminium?
A: Yes. Commercial projects use 2-pack primers and polyurethane finishes for maximum durability.

Q: Can you handle large-scale commercial repainting jobs?
A: Yes. We have the manpower and equipment for major projects.

Q: Do you travel outside Oxenford for commercial work?
A: Yes. We service all Gold Coast suburbs, Brisbane, and beyond.

Q: Can aluminium in multi-storey properties be repainted?
A: Yes. With scaffolding or swing-stage access, multi-level jobs can be safely completed.

Q: Do I need to be home while spraying is underway?
A: No. Many clients head out while spraying is being done.

Q: Do you clean up after the job is finished?
A: Yes. All masking, tape, and protective film are removed so the property is left neat.

Q: Will my render, decking, and gardens be safe from overspray?
A: Yes. We thoroughly mask every surface before spraying begins.
