4 Reasons Your Home Improvement Projects Should Include UPVC Respraying
After a year or so, every home, no matter its cost or estimated value, can use a little lift. Nothing stays in pristine condition forever, but there are smart steps you as a homeowner can take to keep your investment looking as fresh and vivid as the day it was built. If you’re looking for a quick and low-stress way to revitalise your property, consider UPVC respraying.
UPVC stands for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride and refers to a sustainable and much-favoured building material used throughout your home. You’ll frequently find it used on doors, windows, cladding, gutters, roof, trim, fascia, and more. Vinyl polymer gives UPVC the versatility and strength that allows it to work well alongside hardwood and steel. It is durable, low-maintenance, and comes in a wide selection of colours and finishes.
UPVC also dramatically contributes to the aesthetics of your property. If portions of your home are looking a bit yellowed or dull, UPVC respraying is an impactful, yet often overlooked solution that takes your features and facade to the next level. The process provides a convenient refresh to faded or tired-looking UPVC structures, along with your metal, roof, or walls as a whole. Painters like the team of specialists at Inspire Home Solutions are trained in state-of-the-art technologies and work with carefully formulated paints that improve virtually any commercial or residential building structure you may be looking to treat. The following are some key advantages UPVC respaying provides.
1. Easily Transforms Your Home’s Exterior
Like any building material, your exterior and UPVC surfaces are subject to the whims of the environment and the elements. UPVC is bound to pick up its share of dirt and weathering. While a damp cloth works perfectly for routine cleaning and maintenance, after a few years, you’ll notice that your windows, garage door, or roof trim may start to fade or flake. Sometimes this happens almost imperceptibly—until you compare your home facade with a photo taken a few years previous. Then, the difference is striking!
UPVC spray paint costs relatively little and, in the hands of an expert, restores your home’s potent colour and appeal. Alternatively, if desired, you can change the colour scheme altogether and give yourself a residence that looks and feels entirely new.
2. A Cost-Effective Renovation Technique
If you’ve asked yours, “How much does UPVC spraying cost?”—the answer is, almost certainly, less than it would cost to fully replace the UPVC features of your home! When you hire a professional UPVC respraying service, the cost, of course, depends on the length of time and the scale of involvement required for the specific project. But in years past, when faced with ageing UPVC, the only option at a homeowner’s disposal was to completely change out the UPVC and pay for a new installation. Professionals in the industry began to realise, not only was this costly and time-consuming but, as technology advanced, completely unnecessary.
As a bonus, most spraying services also offer to step in and take care of restoration and repairs. For example, any stains or visible wear-and-tear will be fixed before the first application of paint—ultimately leading to a flawless final result where resurrected windows and doors look entirely new without any indication that they were sprayed.
3. Dramatically Increases Your Property Value
Everyone loves the feeling of coming home to a space and abode where they feel like they belong—a property that is an aesthetic reflection of their own tastes and personality. Unless your home was an entirely new build at the time of purchase, you’re likely inheriting many of the colour choices of the previous owner—along with certain styles and trends from more than a decade ago.
It goes without saying that not every colour is one you necessarily would have selected. UPVC spraying remedies this by allowing you to apply the exact colour palette you desire both to the walls of your home and to the individual UPVC structures.
On the other hand, if you’re overseeing more of a restoration project, UPVC spray specialists can help you preserve and reignite the exact colours and texture of an original structure, down to its most finite detail. Even severely aged or historic homes can be made alive and kept vibrant in the hands of a skilled UPVC respraying specialist.
UPVC providers do impeccable work with their UPVC kitchen spraying and UPVC door spraying services. Additionally, many intensive spray projects occur on the outside of your home. The reality is, no matter how beautiful the interior of your home, more people will pass by the exterior than will ever come through your doors. Exterior paint is specifically designed to defend against the elements and will give you a home that catches the admiring eye of anyone driving by or walking down the street. Then, when the time comes to sell and you receive your home appraisal, few things will be working more in your favour than features that look as though they were designed and constructed that very year.
4. Fortifies Your Home and Lasts for a Decade
By now, you may be asking “Who can spray my UPVC windows?” or “Where can I find a UPVC door spraying service?” The treatment provides a welcome paint coating for residential homes, along with commercial shop fronts, doors, windows, and more.
One of the primary advantages of UPVC respraying is how it achieves a stable colour for as much as ten years. Because experts have lab-tested every type of paint against every type of material, your specialist will provide you with the correct UPVC paint designed for the particular surface at hand. The UPVC paints are created to form a molecular cross bond that keeps the pigment intact for upwards of a decade.
As a bonus, the paint also protects against UV degradation. One of the most damaging long-term effects to a home is not the wind, rain, or snow—but the sun itself. Constant heating and cooling, day in and day out, actually instigates the most visible symptoms of fading and erosion. The sun is known to rapidly fade any type of paint that is not engineered for appropriate UV defence. Just one week in the sun will visibly lighten black paint, while white begins to lose its vibrancy after approximately one month.
However, a paint job from UPVC spraying eliminates the brunt of this problem. UPVC paint contains a number of organic additives and stabilisers which function to absorb ultraviolet light and prevent photo-degradation. Our specialists know how to maximise fade resistance by applying paint in thin even layers that will give your UPVC finish the same appearance as the original.
So as you make your list of the projects, home upgrades, and remodelling ideas you’re working to initiate, do not underestimate the seismic effect that a good UPVC respray service can provide. Many people decide to include UPVC spraying as part of painting their entire home. You can also opt to focus on a more specific or target area of your property like windows, doors, or a portion of your kitchen. We guarantee you’ll be impressed by the results.
