Preparation & Process

Q: How are aluminium frames prepared before spraying?
A: Frames are cleaned with degreasers, sanded for adhesion, primed, and then sprayed with multiple coats.

Q: Do all aluminium windows need sanding?
A: Yes. Sanding is essential to break the powder-coated surface and allow primers to bond.

Q: Do you remove the glass or windows?
A: No. Frames stay in place. Large sliding doors are removed, serviced, and painted flat before reinstalling.

Q: How is glass protected while painting?
A: We mask every pane with tape and plastic film to ensure clean, sharp edges.

Q: Can security doors and flyscreens be painted too?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if needed.

Q: How do you prevent overspray on render and bricks?
A: Every surface is masked — from bricks and render to tiles, carpets, and gardens.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both can be sprayed for a consistent finish.

Q: How many coats are usually applied?
A: Typically 2–4 coats are sprayed for proper coverage and film build.

Q: Can I repaint my aluminium windows myself?
A: It’s possible but not recommended. Without professional sanding, primers, and spraying, DIY jobs rarely last.
