Can you start spray painting UPVC if you’ve other work going on?
Imagine this scenario: you’re considering giving your UPVC frames a fresh, vibrant look with a spray paint makeover. It sounds like a fantastic idea, right? But hold on a second! Before you dive headfirst and call up a company in Swansea, let’s take a moment to ponder a crucial question. Can you start spray painting UPVC if you have other work going on? In this blog post, we’ll explore the ins and outs of this dilemma. Covering everything from outdoor activities like roofing and landscaping to indoor projects like plumbing and kitchen fitting. So, grab a cuppa, settle in, and let’s delve into how you can best project manage.
Where is the work going on?
Basically, the rule we follow is that if there is outside work going on then we can spray inside. Then if there’s inside work happening then we can… you guessed it, spray outside. But as the majority of our work is outside spraying we’ll focus on that situation for this post.
Outdoor projects: Proceed with caution
Roofing
Picture this: you’re standing beneath your roof, gazing up at the sky, when suddenly, a hammer lands squarely on your nose. Ouch! Yes, my friend, this is one of the hazards of undertaking UPVC spraying while roofing work is underway. With the potential for debris to fall from above, it’s advisable to steer clear of spray painting UPVC when there’s roofing work happening overhead.
Landscaping
The great outdoors! While it may seem like the perfect setting for a spot of UPVC spraying, there are a few things to consider. Wet paint and freshly trimmed grass don’t exactly mix well, do they? Plus, there’s the ever-present risk of dirt and debris finding their way onto your freshly spray painted window frames. So, unless you fancy the idea of spending hours picking grass clippings out of your paintwork, it’s best to hold off on the spraying until the landscaping is complete.
Painting
Now, here’s a contentious issue. Should you spray paint your UPVC frames before or after external painting? Some may argue that it’s best to get the UPVC sorted first, while others might say that waiting until after the external painting is complete is the way to go. But let’s settle this debate once and for all. Spray painting UPVC before external painting is the way forward. Sure, house painters may disagree, but hey, we’re all about doing things the right way, aren’t we? And let’s face it, it’s a lot easier to avoid a few drops of paint than overspray. So doing things in the right order is a small price to pay for flawless frames.
Indoor projects: Smooth sailing ahead
Plumbing
Ah, plumbing – the unsung hero of home improvement. But fear not, fellow DIY enthusiasts, for spray painting UPVC in Swansea is unlikely to throw a spanner in the works when it comes to your plumbing projects. So go ahead, fix those leaks and install those pipes with confidence, knowing that your UPVC frames will remain unscathed.

Whatever your preference, rest assured that spraying UPVC won’t stand in the way of your kitchen or bathroom fitting endeavours. In fact, why not consider incorporating UPVC spraying into your renovation plans? Spraying kitchens is a surefire way to give your space a fresh new look without breaking the bank.

Fear not, spraypainting is a quick and easy process that won’t delay your carpet-laying efforts. So go ahead, roll out that plush carpet and revel in the beauty of your freshly painted frames.
