Revive Your UPVC Windows: Spraying Vs. Replacing

Written by LTI Transformations | Jul 17, 2024 9:00:00 AM

The windows of a property are the eyes of the building and have a huge impact on the look and feel of the space, both internally and externally. If your UPVC windows are past their best, it could make the entire outside of your home look tired and dated, detracting from its kerb appeal and even impacting its value.

All too often, homeowners with old or damaged windows opt to replace them. While this will of course benefit your home aesthetically, it can be incredibly expensive and isn’t very environmentally friendly. Instead, why not consider a respray? Fast, effective and durable, spraying UPVC windows can give you the look and the longevity you want without the expense.

Saving On Costs

When it comes to cost, there’s really no comparison, with spraying coming out cheaper virtually every single time. The main reason that spraying UPVC windows costs so much less than replacing them is that it requires far, far fewer materials. Instead of spending money on glass, frames and installation, you’ll just need to invest in a new layer of specialist paint and some quality workmanship. By refurbishing your windows and doors instead of replacing them, you can save money while still giving your home a fresh new look and dramatically enhancing its kerb appeal.

Personalisation

Standard UPVC windows come in a small choice of colours. This can leave your home looking the same as almost every other property on the street. If you opt to refurbish however, you’ll have a far wider selection of tones to choose from. Your refurbished house windows can be bold and colourful or muted and sophisticated. Personalising your windows will help you create a home that reflects who you are and stands out for all the right reasons.

Longevity

New windows with a standard UPVC coating have a lifespan of between 10 and 35 years. A full window refurbishment can extend the life of your windows for another 10 to 15 years, allowing you to get more from your investment and potentially saving you a significant amount of money.

Sustainability

Another compelling reason to choose a refurbishment over a replacement is the environment. Respraying windows requires far fewer materials and far less transportation than replacing them. This cuts down significantly on CO2 emissions and helps to make your home more sustainable.

An important part of full house maintenance, looking after your windows will help to make your property more energy efficient and more attractive. To find out more about the different refurbishment services we offer, get in touch with LTI Transformations today!
