Why paint plastic windows? I saw this finishing method and was surprised (I thought this in the past).
Classic white is the simplest and cheapest option for the window frames of modern plastic windows. At the time of construction, this is the most, but over time you may want something more interesting. And how to be ???
Friends, everyone is a huge hello. Surely, many will immediately say that it is necessary to initially determine the color and order the necessary windows, so that later "the collective farm will not be involved." And I agree with you.
But construction is such a thing that in the process, everything can change. And looks and tastes ...
Although, for the time being, I like the white color of my windows, nevertheless, willy-nilly, involuntarily, you come across various life hacks to change the color of the window frames.
The most popular is lamination (pasting).
At least, this is the way I've most often come across.
A special laminated film is glued to the frames. But there are difficulties.
- The glue is also used in a special way (it requires certain conditions and heating).
- Pressing the film requires special care.
At the factory, this is done on special machines, but at home it is very problematic to achieve a high-quality result.
Painting windows like greetings from the past ...
I remember very well how my grandmother repainted every few years in her wooden house, with ordinary wooden windows. So let's say it refreshed the coating.
But when I saw that it was possible to repaint the plastic frames, I was really surprised.
The simplest, most effective, and at the same time high-quality method is painting with a spray can.
- First, the surface is prepared: Sand the glossy surface with sandpaper, and walk with adhesive primer (also from a spray can).
- Then paste over the glass.
- And paint can be applied.
You need to do it without lingering in one place (so that there are no smudges), and of course in several layers for complete filling.
✔ The paints themselves are now sold in a huge variety.
All these points are feasible, and everyone can do it.
So I take note of this method. And when it comes to finishing, maybe I'll use this technology.
Friends, I am waiting for your opinion in the comments. Maybe someone has already tried painting windows, write, share your experience and results.
