UPVC Spraying vs Replacement Windows: Which Is Better?

If your UPVC windows are looking tired, dated or simply no longer suit the style of your home, you may assume that replacing them is the only option. However, UPVC spraying can provide another way to refresh their appearance without removing the existing windows.

What is UPVC spraying?

UPVC spraying involves professionally applying specialist coatings to existing UPVC frames and doors. This allows homeowners to change the colour and give their windows a fresh, updated appearance without replacing the frames.

It's particularly useful if you like the style and condition of your existing windows but want to modernise their appearance.

When might replacement be better?

Replacement windows may be the better option if your existing windows are damaged, failing, poorly fitted or no longer providing the performance you need. If there are issues with the glazing, frames or functionality, replacing the windows could address problems that spraying alone cannot.

Why consider UPVC spraying?

If the windows are structurally sound, spraying can be a much less disruptive way to update them. You can choose from a wide range of colours, making it possible to achieve a completely different look without undertaking a full window replacement project.

It can also be useful for updating conservatories, doors and other UPVC features around the property.

Which option is right for your home?

The answer depends on the condition of your existing windows and what you want to achieve. If you're happy with the windows themselves but simply want a new colour or more modern appearance, UPVC spraying could be worth considering before committing to replacement.
