Refinishing

IN-SITU REFINISHING

Recolouring your joinery without removing it from the building

In some circumstances it can be economical to refinish your aluminium windows and doors.

For example:

	If your windows are near-new and have suffered damage.
	Corporate re-branding of premises where a colour change is required (see photo)
	Maintenance of very expensive window systems where parts of a system need re-finishing.

Because the windows are already installed, the re-finishing takes place on site without removing the windows or doors from the building.

Professional refinishing that maintains the value of your property

requires:

	Industry expertise
	Registration in accordance with WANZ's minimum requirements
	Specialized in-situ refinishing technology
	A detailed understanding of how window systems are constructed
	Industry approved maintenance procedures
	Access to genuine replacement parts
	Window Manufacturer's warranty must not be voided

At least partial disassembly is required, depending on the design of the particular window system. This is the ideal time to take care of any maintenance and repairs.

Like most things, it seems simple until you get started! It is not just a matter of slapping on some paint!

There are many horror stories!

For these reasons the window industry has a standard specification that demands minimum requirements of members undertaking in-situ refinishing. Only WANZ members have access to the specification because the entire process requires rigorous processes and administration to maintain registration. Membership and registration are not expensive, so do not be misled by anyone offering you that excuse for not being a Registered WANZ In-Situ Refinisher.
