The upswing in popularity around uPVC doors seems to be reshaping the modern door market. Whereas traditional wooden doors give you that perfect melding of classic, timeless appeal, uPVC is a material that will transform your home with many cutting-edge benefits.
From exceptional durability and condensation management to improved energy efficiency and sound insulation, uPVC is a high performer in many key areas that matter to longevity, security and even lowering your electricity bills. In terms of aesthetics, uPVC has often been perceived as being more centred around function than visual appeal. However, this has all changed with the ever-expanding array of contemporary front door styles that give you all the robust practicality you require, combined with the smart, effortless style that you desire for your next front door project.
One of the key questions around uPVC lies in the subject of maintenance, with many homeowners still wondering... "can I paint my uPVC door?"
Styles change and existing doors can begin to look tired after years and years of use and weather exposure. So, it would make sense to give your door a new lick of paint, right? In our latest blog, Door Giant will reveal how to paint your uPVC door the correct way, giving you the crucial dos and don't that you need to consider before the paint ever meets your brush.
Can I Paint My uPVC Door?
Yes, you can. In fact you can transform tired looking uPVC doors - or give your front door a style makeover relatively easily - and without costly door replacement. But any old paint isn't going to cut it. So you need a quality coating that will stand up to years and years of fluctuating temperatures and the harshest British weather.
How Do You Paint A uPVC Door?
Although uPVC can be difficult to paint, it's not impossible, and there are a wide range of paint options on the market that are perfectly suitable for use on a uPVC door. Make sure you're looking for paints that are either acrylic or enamel-based so that they can adhere effectively to the smooth plastic surface.
When shopping around, ideally seek out a paint that is specifically suited to plastic surfaces or can cater to multiple surfaces. You'll also come across all-in-one paint and primer products that will coat uPVC very effectively.
If you're painting an existing uPVC door, make sure you prepare, prime and paint it correctly with the following instructions:
Prior to painting, make sure you read any instructions included with your paint and/or your uPVC door for advice on the best possible finish.
