The Overlooked Step in Renovating Gold Coast Homes: Updating Aluminium Windows

Renovations Are About the Details

On the Gold Coast, renovations are everywhere — from coastal duplex upgrades in Palm Beach to hinterland extensions in Mudgeeraba. Homeowners invest in new kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and landscaping. Yet time and again, one element gets left behind: aluminium window frames.

Ignoring them undermines everything else. A house with brand-new tiles and paint but old cream or bronze frames looks unfinished. This is why updating aluminium windows is often the most overlooked step in a renovation.

Why Aluminium Frames Matter More Than You Think

Aluminium windows cover more surface area than most realise. Frames surround every view, line every wall, and define the geometry of a home. Their colour determines:

Whether interiors feel fresh or dated.

How much contrast façades show from the street.

How cohesive renovations look as a whole.


Without updating frames, the home’s presentation never truly matches the investment made elsewhere.

The Problem with Outdated Colours

Frames from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s were dominated by:

Cream – Instantly dates brick-and-tile houses.

Bronze – Heavy and dull against modern render.

Silver anodised – Feels cold and unfinished next to timber or stone.


Even when walls, roofs, and fences are refreshed, these frame colours reveal the home’s age.

Why Spraying Is the Overlooked Solution

Many renovators think their only option is replacement. In reality, spraying delivers the same visual upgrade without the disruption.

Onsite application – Frames sprayed in place.

Factory finish – HVLP spraying creates smooth, sharp edges.

Eco-friendly – Extends the life of aluminium, avoids landfill.

Cost-effective – Achieves transformation without demolition.


This overlooked step is what makes renovations look complete.

The Colours That Modernise Renovations

From our experience across the Gold Coast, timeless shades dominate:

Black – Sleek, disappears into glass, perfect for coastal and modern styles.

White – Classic, bright, and essential for Hamptons homes.

Monument – A strong grey that works with render, steel, and cladding.

Surfmist – Soft grey-white that balances coastal light.

Ironstone – Deep neutral that pairs with natural materials.


99% of homes end up with black or white, with the rest choosing Monument, Surfmist, or Ironstone. These colours not only modernise but ensure renovations won’t date quickly.

How Updated Frames Tie Renovations Together

Renovations involve multiple elements — floors, kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor living areas. Frames bring them all into balance:

Interior finishes – Frames connect with shutters, curtains, and flooring.

Exterior finishes – They link render, roofs, and fences.

Street appeal – Cohesion creates a polished first impression.


Without updated frames, the renovation feels incomplete.

The Technical Process

Updating aluminium frames through spraying relies on preparation:

1. Cleaning – Remove salt, dirt, and chalking.


2. Sanding – Create a keyed surface for adhesion.


3. Degreasing – Wipe frames clean of oils and residues.


4. Priming –

Norglass All Surface Primer at 30–40 microns per coat.

Two coats = 60–80 microns adhesion base.



5. Spraying –

Concept Acrylic Lacquer at 25–35 microns per coat.

Multiple coats build a 40–60 micron finish.



6. Masking – Protect glass, render, tiles, and interiors for razor-sharp edges.



This process ensures updated frames look like they came from the factory.

Renovation Styles That Depend on Updated Frames

Hamptons-Style Homes

Require white frames to match shutters and trims.

Cream or bronze instantly undermines the style.


Coastal Modern Builds

Black frames sharpen glass walls and sliding doors.

They tie ocean views to contemporary interiors.


Family Brick-and-Tile Homes

Monument or Surfmist frames modernise instantly.

They balance new roofs, fences, and render.


Hinterland Extensions

White or Ironstone frames brighten shaded interiors.

They create cohesion between old and new sections.

Why DIY Doesn’t Work

DIY sprays or brushes don’t deliver cohesion.

Patchy coverage – Frames look streaked or uneven.

Weak adhesion – Paint flakes or peels in months.

Poor masking – Overspray ruins glass and tiles.


Only professional preparation and spraying achieves the sharp, timeless look renovations demand.
