The Benefits of Window Spraying For A Home Refurb
If you're looking to refresh the exterior of your home on a budget then window spraying might be the perfect solution for you. The process involves applying a high-quality spray coating to your existing windows, giving them a refreshed look, brand-new look. In this blog post, we'll look at the many advantages of window spraying, including its cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and ability to improve the overall look of your home and property value.
What Is Window Spraying?
Window spraying is the process of using an industrial powered paint spraying gun to carefully spray the window frames and panes around your UPVC windows and doors. UPVC spraying is a process that refreshes and revitalises the appearance of your existing home. Instead of replacing your windows entirely, professional UPVC spraying teams, like us, can apply a new coat of high-quality paint in a wide variety of colours.
The Full List Of Benefits Of Window Spraying
Let’s get straight into the list of benefits window spraying gives…
Cost-Effective
Window spraying is a far more affordable option compared to replacing your entire window system which can really help you keep your savings in the piggy bank. Many people have not yet thought of the idea of having their UPVC windows paint sprayed, as it’s still a relatively new home improvement solution. A full window replacement for the average sized UK home would cost around £4,000 to £7,000. A huge investment. When it can, with window paint spraying, be avoided.
While the initial cost of replacing windows can be a significant investment to your home, window spraying offers a cost-effective way to achieve a similar aesthetic.
Improved Exterior Look
A fresh coat of paint can instantly transform the appearance of your home. Window spraying can give your home’s exterior a modern and updated look. By spraying your windows, you can ensure a uniform colour and finish. The process can also take a fraction of the time hiring a professional like us, than doing it yourself too.
Increased Property Value
Well-maintained windows contribute significantly to a home's overall appeal. By investing in window spraying, you can increase your property's value, albeit, not by much, but it certainly will give potential buyers a brilliant first impression.
Efficiency and Convenience
As we just touched upon above, window paint spraying can be done with minimal disruption. Window spraying is a relatively quick and efficient process, causing barely any disturbance to your daily life. Unlike window replacement, spraying doesn't involve removing and reinstalling windows, saving time and effort.
The Window Spraying Process
The window spraying process typically involves the following steps:
Preparation: The surfaces to be sprayed are thoroughly cleaned and prepared by us to ensure optimal adhesion.
Masking: Sensitive areas, such as glass panes and surrounding surfaces, are masked off to protect them from overspray.
Spraying: Your chosen paint colour is applied evenly using our specialised spraying equipment.
Drying: The sprayed surfaces are allowed to dry completely. The paint is usually dry to touch after around 15 minutes, but will take around 7 days to fully cure.
Choosing the Right Paint Spray
The choice of paint or coating for window spraying depends on several factors, including:
Existing Window Material: Different materials (e.g., wood, vinyl, aluminium) may require specific coatings.
Desired Finish: Consider whether you prefer a glossy, satin, or matte finish.
Durability: Select a coating that is resistant to weathering, fading, and peeling.
Maintenance and Care of Your Freshly Sprayed Windows
To maintain your newly sprayed windows, follow these simple tips:
Regular Cleaning: Clean your windows regularly to remove dirt, grime, and debris.
Inspect for Damage: Inspect your windows periodically for any signs of damage, such as cracks or peeling paint.
Touch-ups: If necessary, touch up any damaged areas with the original paint or coating.
What Other Surfaces Can Be Spray Painted?
While windows are a popular choice for spray painting, this versatile technique can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. Here are some examples:
Outdoor Surfaces
Front Doors: Can you paint composite doors? The answer is yes and it can transform your entire home without breaking the bank. Opting for composite door spraying over replacement offers many benefits, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to update their property's appearance without the high costs and hassle that come with replacing doors.
Garage Doors: Our garage door spraying service provides a fantastic, cost-effective alternative to replacing old, tired, faded garage doors. Transform your home’s exterior with simple garage door respraying and painting. Choose vibrant colours or a simple re-spray for a fresh finish.
There’s no need to replace worn garage doors and spend a fortune, professional uPVC garage door spraying promises a simple repainting job in a fraction of the time and less strain on your pocket.

Fascias & Soffits: Spray painting soffits and fascia is an effective, affordable means of sprucing up the exterior of residential and commercial properties. Rather than replacing these external features, soffit and fascia painting, entails a fresh coat of paint, transforming your property for a fraction of the cost.
Soffits, fascia, guttering and cladding are external features, which can begin to show signs of wear and tear as a result of ageing and exposure to the elements. While it is possible to replace these features, spray painting soffits and fascia provides a fast, cost-effective alternative.
Shop Fronts: First impressions matter, and your shopfront is often the first thing potential customers see. Worn, faded, or chipped paint on your shopfront windows and doors can create a negative impression, deterring customers from entering. Here at PCS, we offer a professional shopfront spraying service that can provide a new lease of life to your business's exterior in North West England and Wales.
Summary
Window spraying is a cost-effective and efficient way to update the look of your home's exterior.
