New on-site paint service offers colour option for UPVC
Keywords: Paints, Colours, UPVC
An innovative service, the first of its kind in the UK, launched by Peatey's Painting Services offers manufacturers of UPVC products on-site colour paint options and repairs. Items which previously could only be painted in factory conditions can be painted at any location.
The ground-breaking process means that Peatey's can paint UPVC wherever needed and customers can choose from a wide range of colours. This technique also enables repairs to newly installed window frames, conservatories or doors to be fixed on-site – saving time and money. Damaged window frames, for example, can be cut and then coloured by staff from Peatey's and mistakes can be put right quickly.
Painting UPVC is a relatively new technique. Until this year the newly developed UPVC paints could only be applied at a paint factory. Currently, a handful of UK companies has been accredited to apply the paints under licence and Peatey's is the only one to offer it with a complete maintenance service for all finishes.
Ruth Chapman, MD of Leeds-based Peatey's, said: "The UPVC finish is not far short of revolutionary. The finish is fantastic and has to be seen to be believed. This finish can be applied in a complete range of colours. It is not a product that goes on the surface and can chip off or fade. The process embeds the colour into the plastic or metal so it will last. Items have now been tested to show that there is no breakdown after 10 years. We can do all the colours of the rainbow including matching corporate and fashion colours".
Preatey's can also use the process to paint other surfaces that cause most difficulty to standard contractors – aluminium and mild steel as well as the more straightforward materials such as wood and plaster.
Peatey's offers a free telephone advice service for architects, designers and others to help specify the finishes that may be needed in varying environments. Tel: 0113 250 1046; E-mail: info@peateys.co.uk or enquire through the Web site: www.peateys.co.uk
