How to Banish Ugly UPVC

UPVC doors and windows revolutionised the glazing and door industry back in the 80’s, but the nation has fallen out of love with its appearance.

 

Replacing UPVC entirely is costly, but you can completely transform the way it looks and add instant curb appeal with Rust-Oleum Universal All-Surface Paint, an advanced paint and primer in one which allows you to paint straight onto UPVC.

 

Cora from Suki & Pink used to hate her brown UPVC door, but could never justify replacing it when it worked perfectly well. “When I realised that it was possible to paint UPVC, I didn’t hesitate to give it a go! I chose Rust-Oleum Universal All-Surface paint in the colour Duck Egg. I absolutely love the result and have saved thousands of pounds. “

 

Rust-Oleum Universal All-Surface Paint is fade and chip resistant and enables you to create a bright or muted look on wood, metal, plastics, ceramics and more.
