A professionally applied UPVC spray coating typically lasts between 10 and 15 years.
With proper preparation and correct application, as well as basic UPVC maintenance, the finish remains colour-stable and weather-resistant for many years.
What Affects the Lifespan of a UPVC Spray Finish?
The lifespan of a UPVC spray coating isn’t fixed — it depends on a combination of factors:
Surface preparation
Thorough cleaning, degreasing, and preparation are essential for proper paint adhesion and long-term durability.
Exposure to weather
Properties across Staffordshire and the West Midlands are exposed to regular rain, frost, snow and UV light. Well-applied exterior coatings are designed to withstand this, though more exposed elevations may show wear sooner than sheltered areas.
Colour choice
Darker colours absorb more heat and UV, which can slightly reduce lifespan over time compared to lighter shades.
Maintenance
Occasional gentle cleaning and avoiding abrasive products helps preserve the finish for longer.
Will the Colour Fade Over Time?
High-quality UPVC spray coatings are formulated to be UV-resistant and colour-stable.
While no exterior finish is completely immune to ageing, noticeable fading is uncommon when coatings are applied correctly and maintained.
