Why Paint Doors and Windows?

• Boost Curb Appeal: A fresh coat of paint can make your property stand out and look well-maintained.
• Increase Property Value: Homes with updated exteriors often fetch higher prices.
• Protect Surfaces: High-quality paint acts as a barrier against weather damage, UV rays and corrosion.
• Express Your Style: Choose colours that reflect your personality and complement your home’s architecture.

Choosing the Right Door and Window Paint

1. Surface Compatibility

Our PlasPaint range is specially designed for use on UPVC, GRP (fiberglass), steel, aluminium and composite materials. It bonds directly to the surface without the need for a separate primer in most cases.

2. Durability

Our Door Window Paint Products are UV stable, weather-resistant and flexible. This means your finish won’t crack, peel or fade — even after years of exposure to harsh elements.

3. Finish Options

• Matte and satin for a contemporary look
• High gloss for a polished, classic style
• Special effects such as metallic, granite and even GrainEx Wood Effect for a natural timber appearance

4. Colour Choices

With thousands of colours available (including RAL, Pantone, BS and Farrow & Ball matches), it’s easy to find the perfect shade for your project.

How to Paint Doors and Windows Like a Pro

Clean the Surface
Remove dirt, grease and contaminants with a degreaser or sugar soap solution. Rinse and let dry completely.

Lightly Sand
Use fine-grit sandpaper (240–320 grit) to lightly abrade the surface. This helps the paint adhere better. Wipe away dust with a tack cloth.

Mask and Protect
Use painter’s tape to protect glass, hardware and areas you don’t want painted. Cover surrounding areas with drop cloths.

Apply the Paint

• Spray Application: Use an HVLP spray gun for an ultra-smooth, factory-like finish.
• Brush or Roll: Use high-quality synthetic brushes or microfiber rollers. Apply thin, even coats.

Let it Cure
Allow the paint to fully dry and cure as per product instructions. Most of our Door Window Paint products are touch-dry in 30–60 minutes and fully cured in 7 days.

Tips for Choosing the Right Colour

• Neutral Tones: Grey, white and taupe offer timeless elegance.
• Bold Colours: Deep blues, reds and greens make a statement and can boost kerb appeal.
• Match Your Architecture: Consider the style and age of your home when selecting colours.
• Test First: Paint a small area first to see how the colour looks in different lights.
