uPVC Paint for South Facing Windows

6 replies

TheQueensCousin · 28/07/2025 08:37

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with painting their south facing uPVC windows.
I’ve done a like research and found 4 companies that do them but not really sure which to go with.
I think the fact that at the front I’m south facing might be an issue.
The 4 paints I’m undecided about are:
Zinsser Allcoat
French Chic Al Fresco
Rustoleum uPVC
Fortress uPVC
Thank you in advance!

Personally I’m using Zinsser Allcoat for this, using some today as it goes. Not to say that the others aren’t good but I do like Zinsser; I think as a company they make excellent paint.

Not sure there’s too much to say really, it’s paint, you put it on and it sticks lol. I’m using it on some upvc pipe work coming from a bathroom today, but in the past I’ve used it on wood, metal, upvc facias and masonry in places, it sticks to pretty much everything.

I first found out about after watching a guy called paint warrior on YT, very interesting watching him work. One particularly vid he was using it on roller shutters on a shop front- if it can take that kind of wear it must be good.

At our previous (400 year old) house we fitted floor-to-ceiling oak windows to a south facing extension, but the roofer had attached bloody awful white upvc fascia boards, which we wanted to lessen the impact of.

We painted the fascias with Zinsser undercoat/primer, then used Little Greene external eggshell over this in the same colour as the accoya casement windows on the rest of the property. It looked great and stood up well to the wet weather where we were.

Zinsser seems to be ahead at the moment! Thank you x
