Anyone know if its possible to get upvc window frames in colours other than white? I'd like to replace my kitchen window to match my aluminium patio bifold doors but would rather not go to the expense of buying aluminium....

They were from www.expressbifolds.co.uk about 6 years ago.
Thats where our bifolds were from. I break out into sweats and have compulsion to shout obscenities whenever I hear of that company name!!!!

I was wondering how coloured upvc would fair with fading. The window is south facing so gets sun all day.

A quick google jogged my memory - Sandtex PVC primer is what he used, then normal white gloss paint over the top. Looks great, will see if I can get some close-up pics next time I am round.
Sounds a good idea, thanks.
