Pre-coloured or painted uPVC windows

Question

Is there any advantage to getting coloured uPVC windows rather than just painting them?

Michael · Answer

Coloured upvc frames are either foil wrapped or sprayed 
So it not a big difference either way

Michael · Answer

Yes as we’ve painted any PVC in time with weather in Sun and rain and so on can begin to pill although using a proper PVC paint they still could bubble pill and scratch off never ideal as when getting coloured PVC windows this is a wrap that the manufacturers do therefore does not normally bubble seal or tear

The window veneer and the colored plastic inside seem to be more aesthetic.

Of course, this is a great advantage for getting colored PVC windows.  I'll explain why.  Coloring of a plastic profile can be carried out by four different methods.  Coloring in mass is an option from the category of “cheap and cheerful”.  It does not guarantee you a wide choice of available colors, plus you need to additionally use a laminate film so that the profile does not fade when exposed to sunlight.  Much more preferred is co-extrusion dyeing, in which PVC and acrylic are extruded together, which gives both good durability and a wide choice of colors.  By choosing a varnishing method, you get a matt-type colored surface, which is formed when acrylic varnish is dried on a PVC surface.  Finally, the spraying method, which uses two-component acrylic-based varnishes, has become popular recently.
