Preparation & Process

Q: How are aluminium frames prepared before painting?
A: Frames are scrubbed with degreasers, sanded for adhesion, dust-free cleaned, and then primed before spraying.

Q: Do you sand every aluminium window before painting?
A: Yes, sanding is critical to break through the powder coat and allow primers to bond.

Q: Do you remove the glass when painting Robina windows?
A: No — glass stays in. Everything is masked off so that edges are sharp and clean.

Q: Can you paint aluminium windows without taking them out?
A: Yes. Windows are sprayed in place. Large sliding panels are removed to paint and service them flat.

Q: What about flyscreens and security doors — can they be painted too?
A: Definitely. Diamond grills, barrier doors, and flyscreens are taken out, repainted, and re-meshed if needed, so they blend with the fresh frame colour.

Q: How do you avoid overspray on bricks and render?
A: Careful masking. We tape up glass, bricks, tiles, carpets, and gardens — then remove tape to reveal razor-sharp lines.
