How is the colour of PVC-U windows changed ?

The PVC-U profile can be extruded in almost any colour.  However, most systems opt for applying a decorative laminate layer to the profile after it has been extruded.  This coated profile is then fabricated into a window, or a door, in the normal manner. Decorative laminate layers can also be applied to PVC-U profile to give a textured finish, e.g. wood grain affect.

Special paint-type systems are also available, which can be used to apply a paint finish before or after fabrication of the window or door.  However, such systems should only be applied by appropriately trained or qualified personnel as incorrect application can severely damage the window profiles.
