Can You Paint UPVC Window Frames?

Can You Paint UPVC Window Frames?

Can you paint upvc window frames

The simple and quick answer is - YES, you can paint UPVC Window Frames! But there is a special technique involved if you want them to look good!


You can buy paint from a DIY store and do this yourself, but you will need to know what you are doing. You will also need to purchase the following items to make sure that you will get a good finish:

  1. UPVC Cleaner
  2. UPVC Primer
  3. UPVC Paint
UPVC Cleaner

Before you can start to think about painting your UPVC Window Frames, you will first need to ensure they are clean, and free of any dirt. There are several UPVC Cleaners on the market today which will do the job for you, but it will always be best to go with a slightly more industrial strength cleaner, as this will give you a better result.

UPVC Primer

Unlike painting a "normal" surface, you will need to have a UPVC Primer put on to the window frame before you put on the colour of your choice. The UPVC Paint will need something to adhere to, otherwise when it rains - the paint will simply wash away.

UPVC Paint

Once you have done the cleaning of the window frame, and have put your base coat (primer) down, you will then be ready to apply the UPVC Paint. This simply goes on top of the base coat, and will adhere to the window frame.

Please note: NW Door and Window Repairs uses specialist paints that are not supplied to the general public. These are products which you will need to be in the industry to get, as the products are highly volatile to different conditions. 


It sounds simple right? But this is where a lot of people make the mistake. To get a professional look to your existing window and door frames involves a lot of work. If you are not really sure on how best to clean and prime your UPVC frames, you may end up regretting painting them in the first place.
