2 Large Feature Windows & 8 Small Windows
SCOPE
Introduction
A home’s exterior windows play a huge role in its overall curb appeal. For this impressive property in Taylors Hill, we were called in to refresh two massive architectural windows and eight smaller exterior aluminium windows. After years of exposure to Melbourne’s harsh sun and rain, the original aluminium frames had become faded, chalky, and tired. The homeowner wanted to restore the home’s modern, elegant look without the massive expense of completely replacing the windows.
The Main Challenge
Painting exterior aluminium is a highly specialized task. The paint will easily peel off if not prepped correctly. Furthermore, the massive scale of the main feature windows required scaffolding for safe and precise access. The challenge was to meticulously sand and prepare the old aluminium high off the ground, while completely protecting the large glass panels from any dust or paint splatter.
The Golden Deco Solution
We started by setting up scaffolding to access the high architectural windows safely. Next, our team spent significant time carefully masking and covering all the glass and surrounding brickwork. Once protected, we thoroughly sanded the oxidized aluminium surfaces to create the perfect key for adhesion. Following the preparation, we applied a specialized, high-adhesion undercoat, followed by a premium finish coat. By offering top-tier brands like Dulux, alongside trusted alternatives like Taubmans and Haymes, we ensure a durable, weather-resistant finish tailored to the project’s needs.
The Final Result
Over three days, we completely transformed the faded frames into a sharp, modern feature that matched the home’s aesthetic perfectly. This project wasn’t just about painting windows; it was about breathing new life into the entire facade. The homeowner was absolutely thrilled with the crisp lines and the cost-effective, high-quality restoration of their home’s exterior.
