Questions and Answers
Can uPVC frames be spray coated?
Yes, you can change the colour of your aluminium or uPVC windows and doors. The colour choices are almost infinite! At Astral Coatings we use only 2K products for all applications. The spraying process provides a factory finish on your uPVC.
How much does uPVC spray coating cost?
The cost of uPVC spraying varies depending on the exact details of the project and location. A front door starts from £295.00, garage doors from £395.00 and windows range from £150.00 – £500.00 depending on size. Take a look at our quote builder for an approximate quote for your project.
How long does the spray-painting process take?
Projects are very quick thanks to fast-drying 2K paint. Preparation (cleaning, masking), spraying, and de-masking can often all be completed within a single day for an average-sized house, with larger or more complex jobs taking up to five days.
How long will the coating last? How durable is the finish?
The 2K coating used by us at Astral Coatings has an expected lifespan of 10 to 15 years. This can be maximised with regular cleaning and ensuring any abrasive debris is not left on the surface for long periods of time. Areas of harsher environmental impact such as southern-facing or coastal properties are subject to increased exposure to heat and salt air which can impact the lifespan of the product. This would still be expected to last at least 8 to 12 years.
What colours and finishes are available?
Almost any colour you can imagine. Astral Coatings works from the RAL and NCS colour ranges (thousands of options) and can match designer-brand paints like Farrow & Ball and Laura Ashley, as well as standard ranges such as Dulux, Crown, and Valspar. We have various finish options available with sheen levels that are matte (10%), satin (30%) and gloss (70%) with even more options available from a dead flat matte (5%) right up to a high gloss (90%).
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Whilst we do not offer a product guarantee we do offer a 12-month workmanship guarantee for most services. We can assure you that the expected lifespan of the 2K products we use for external works is 10-15 years. This can be reduced to 8-12 years if you live in a coastal area where the salt in the air corrodes the coatings faster than inland.
What do I need to do before you arrive?
All we usually require is access to power (electric socket) and that any obstructions are removed from the immediate area such as plant pots or garden statues. We do not require any cleaning or preparation prior to arrival unless stated, this is all done by our on-site operatives. We will require access to the property and rooms cleared as much as possible for internal works.
What kind of paint do you use to spray uPVC?
At Astral Coatings we use a 2K paint spray system – this produces an extremely tough, resilient and flexible factory finish.
Can aluminium window frames be painted?
Yes, the process and products used by our teams for uPVC window spraying are exactly the same as for the aluminium window frames.
How do you access top windows?
When spraying items at height we usually try to work mainly from ladders where safe to do so. However, if access will be impossible or dangerous by ladder, we would require either scaffolding or MEWP hire such as a cherry picker or scissor lift. Anything higher than first-floor windows will require access to equipment.
Can you work weekends?
We do not work weekends as standard but understand businesses are often not able to shut down during the week for refurb purposes. We do try to accommodate this where possible, but please note there are small additional charges for this.
