NOVEMBER 06 - GO FOR COLOUR!



An innovative colour-matching service has helped a woman achieve the conservatory of her dreams.

Former textile testing laboratory manager Barbara Painter wanted the windows in her Derbyshire cottage replacing, and a new 4m x 4m conservatory, but did not want conventional white or woodgrain, but a moss green colour she had seen at a historic building. Complete Building & Plastic (Installations) came up with a solution: utilising innovative technology from Building Product Design to spray paint all the plastic elements of the project to the exact Pantone reference required.

BPD’s Pinxton factory spray-painted both the new uPVC windows for the front façade and the entire conservatory French doors, windows and roof frame, through to the detail of the gutter brackets and guttering, in RAL6005 Moss Green.

Barry Hallahan, managing director of Complete Building & Plastic Installations, explained, “Mrs Painter’s background meant she has an in-depth knowledge of colour and the effects of sunlight and weathering on the finish. The front of her house is in direct sunlight, so it was important for her that the colour would remain stable and not fade. She was adamant she wanted this specific green, and to my knowledge there is no foil available on the UK market in that shade of green. Building Product Design was able to paint all the components on the exterior surface only as we wanted, to the exact colour required. Mrs Painter’s very pleased!”

Building Product Design offers its uPVC colouring service for all window tricklevents, windows, conservatories, doors, barge and soffit boards. The satin paint finish is scratch resistant and will not chip, crack or flake, is UV stable so will not fade, and is guaranteed weatherproof. Building Product Design can paint the entire PVCu component, or one side only, be it small batch orders or large volume.
