COLOUR

Beware of Imitations
David Kershaw, Director of Kolorbond
and Technispray, explains the benefits of
painting PVCu frames to achieve beautiful
colour…
“There has been a surge in the popularity of
coloured frames and there are lots of options
available. Architects and discerning customers
are looking for something different in the
way of colour, something that is original and
bespoke to them, and this can only really be
achieved by using specialised paints.
“Foiled frames are very nice and definitely
have a place in the market, but foils can’t cover
all of the PVCu profile. Although there may
be colour inside and out, the reveals of the
frame remain white. Kolorbonding a frame
overcomes this problem.
“Manufactured in the UK by Technispray
Paints, Kolorbond is a special coating designed
to paint PVCu and other hard plastic such
as ABS, polycarbonate, acrylic and polyester
powder coatings. Unlike most paints, which
try to stick to the substrate, Kolorbond
forms a molecular cross bond with the plastic
surface.

“To enable the production of coloured
window frames, coloured doors and coloured
conservatories, thousands of colours are
available. Kolorbond is available in all
standard RAL and BS colours. We also match
to all other colour systems and popular paint
colours. Additionally, we have a specialist
colour matching service, second to none,
which allows us to match non-standard
colours from supplied colour samples.
“When correctly applied to PVCu window
frames, doors, conservatories and fascias.
