Ask An Expert: Can I Paint uPVC?

4

A common question people our experts is “can I paint my uPVC window or door?” The simple answer is, yes! You just need the right paint for the job.

We sell a few multi-surface paints, such as Bedec MSP, a beautifully versatile paint that can be applied to pretty much anything.

However, if you’re looking for an extensive colour range, Bedec Multi Surface Paint isn’t the one for you, as it’s only available in just over 10 colours.

Sadolin Superdec could be perfect for you though, the outdoor multi-surface paint is present in over 60 colours by default, with the opportunity to pick your own RAL Shade colour if you let us know in advance.

Our in-house expert, Charlie, gives us the lowdown on just how good Sadolin’s exterior paint is:

Step 1 – Preparation

Pop open the lid of Superdec and give it a stir.

Use masking tape on any areas that you don’t want paint going onto, this will help you attain a real professional finish.

Step 2 – Application

Grab your brush and start applying that first coat to your uPVC (or PVCu) fenestration.

  1. Hi

    I’m after a clear pine wood preserver to use with a low solvent based varnish that I have.
    Also, I’m thinking I may need to apply a sealer afterwords.
    Any advice on the best product(s)(within a budget )to use is greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Dave
