Maintenance free UPVC, in any colour you choose

Coloured UPVC

Time was, if you wanted the maintenance-free benefit of PVCu, you had to settle for white. Not any more. Your installer can now supply your new windows, doors, cladding or conservatory in the colour of your choice, whatever their make.

Be as bright and individual as you want, or as subtle and discreet as you like. Colour can enhance your home with added style and visual appeal.

Here's how it works

The colour you choose is applied to your windows, doors, cladding or conservatory whilst they are being made.

The colour coating used in this process is a specially developed paint called AVKOTE LE which is sprayed on and then physically bonds to the PVCu material. It dries quickly to a superb smooth satin finish which forms an extra protective coating that never needs re-painting. It literally becomes the surface of the material to which it is bonded. It doesn't chip, crack or flake, it is guaranteed weatherproof for 10 years and is virtually fade free. It is UV stable and is available in any colour.

If additional quality reassurance was needed, the colour coating in question was developed by Switzerland's leading specialist paint manufacturer in their ISO9001 quality accredited factory near Zurich. It has been tried and tested in Europe for over 15 years, is recommended for use by leading profile producers and is now available in the UK through AVKO Limited and your chosen installer.

Colour Ideas
(Ask your installer for a colour chart)

Some people use colour selectively as a contrast on sills and frames, others use colour for an overall effect. Current favourites include soft cream or ivory, where white can be too harsh. Bold colours for front doors are popular including rich reds and dark blues. Black and white effects are also popular, along with dark fir green for conservatories. One conservatory colour coated with AVKOTE appeared on the 'Carol Vorderman's Better Homes' TV programme. We matched an unusual pale blue/green colour to get the look the designer wanted.

Perhaps you live in or near a heritage area. AVKO can match any other National Trust or Farrow and Ball Heritage paint colours.

The next step
