Another question often asked is, “How does the window repainting process work?” Apex Window Recolouring employs a meticulous process to repaint windows, ensuring a high-quality and durable finish. The steps involved in repainting windows with Apex Window Recolouring typically include:

 

Surface Preparation: The first step involves thorough cleaning of the window frames to ensure proper removal of any potential contaminants and debris.

 

Hardware Removal

Often overlooked, this step really matters. Where possible, Apex Window Recolouring removes any hardware such as hinges, handles, window latches, and safety stays. We also remove opening window sashes and V-wedge seals. On ranch sliders, if possible, we remove the doors and the mohair seals. This approach prevents overspray on seals, ensures paint reaches every area, and avoids unpainted patches behind hardware that may need replacing later on.

 

Sanding

The window joinery is thoroughly sanded by hand to create a smooth surface and promote excellent adhesion of the new paint.

 

Cleaning

Before beginning the masking process, we clean the surface to minimise the risk of contamination and dust in the final product.

 

Protection

Surrounding surfaces, such as glazing, adjacent areas, and floors, are carefully masked, covered, and protected from overspray to prevent any paint from reaching beyond the joinery.

 

Primer Application

A 2k etch primer is applied to the aluminium to enhance adhesion.

 

Painting

The team then applies multiple coats of high-quality, durable 2k paint in your chosen colour to achieve a flawless finish.

 

Final Touches

Upon completion of the painting process, the team removes all masking and waste materials, reinstalls any removed hardware, sash windows and window seals leaving your space nice and tidy.

 

By following these meticulous steps and utilising top-grade materials, Apex Window Recolouring ensures a professional and long-lasting finish that rejuvenates the appearance of your windows and doors
