Colour fast!
23rd June 2020

STERNFENSTER has launched a new water-based spray-painting service enabling it to spray PVC-U products to any RAL colour in a claimed less than half the average turnaround time on foils.

It means painted PVC-U frames are available in as little as 15 days, said to be less than half average lead times on non-stock foils, while the satin finish has an expected service life of more than 30-years - and is guaranteed, for 10.

Managing Director Mike Parczuk said: “If you look at the market for colour, the greatest growth is coming from smooth finishes. There’s been a move away from some traditional woodgrains and people want to match into aluminium.

“If we’re selling an aluminium bi-fold, nine times out of 10, it’s in Anthracite Grey, and if we’re supplying windows in a PVC-U foil finish, it’s smooth – people are looking to match in aluminium and PVC-U as part of a hybrid sell.

“It’s choice of colour and lead times which are driving this market. Woodgrains have their place but with the increased reach of aluminium, smooth finishes are gaining market share.”

Whilst Sternfenster can colour match any RAL finish, its new offer features eight in-stock colour profiles including Agate Grey; Anthracite Grey; Blue Grey; Light Ivory; Pebble Grey; Pigeon Blue; Platinum Grey; and Slate Grey, available in 15 days.
