Window Painting
Specialist commercial window painting and decorating services from Styles Façade Solutions® (formerly Thomann-Hanry®) help your business to maintain and repair the character and condition of the windows, sills, and other painted surfaces. These help to define the overall appearance and condition of a façade, which is key for historic and commercial buildings.
As your partner in building conservation, we have a proven track record of best practice and industry-leading techniques in the preservation, repair and upkeep of painted surfaces on commercial buildings. Operating from Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs), we offer unparalleled cost and time savings, without the need to shroud a building in unsightly scaffolding for months on end.
COMMERCIAL BUILDING WINDOW REPAIR AND DECORATION SERVICES
A fundamental aspect of our commercial window painting service is the thorough examination of all timberwork for signs of decay – especially in less accessible areas, where damage can go undetected for years until failure. We inspect glazing, frames and sills for any signs of structural damage, checking for cracked and rotten wood in need of repair and redecoration. Then, working with the best materials and processes, we apply the most appropriate advanced restoration to ensure a durable, high-quality finish.
Where paint is peeling, it's important to redecorate before the exposed timber starts to rot. If the timbers are beyond repair, reconstruction work not only restores the building's appearance but also provides essential protection from the elements.
Styles Façade Solutions® will restore and repaint these six sash windows, currently showing paint deterioration and exposed timber, particularly on the upper-left frame. The qualified painting team will address weathering across the façade, returning the woodwork to a fresh, protected finish.
YOUR SCAFFOLD-FREE WINDOW PAINTING CONTRACTOR
We don’t just paint and decorate windows; we also remove any defective putty and failed sealants, then replace them with high-performance alternatives. This eliminates water ingress and draughts, safeguarding the building’s interior from damp and heat loss.
This cost-effective remedial work offers your business peace of mind, knowing that our attention to detail and high standards of work will help to save you money in the long term.
Our expertise covers all window types, including:
- Modern UPVC Systems
- Heritage Timber Windows
- Traditional Sash Windows
- Industrial Metal Windows
- Crittall Windows
- Single-glazed Windows
THE SUSTAINABLE CHOICE
From a conservation perspective, redecoration is the most carbon-efficient approach for heritage buildings. Professor John Edwards (MA, DipBldgCons, CEnv, FCIOB, FRICS, IHBC), an internationally renowned authority on building conservation, Chartered Environmentalist and valued Styles Façade Solutions collaborator, comments:
“There are many buildings that have retained their original windows, which are hundreds of years old, and even if they are just a few decades old, it makes sense to retain them and look after them properly. This is the sustainable approach to buildings and the most carbon-efficient approach. Those with a view that we must replace existing older timber windows with new windows to make the windows more energy efficient are misguided. It is possible to improve the thermal efficiency of an existing window, and even repairing an existing window can improve its thermal performance. It is unfortunate that the way we assess the energy performance of buildings does not take into account maintenance and repair”, says Prof. Edwards.
PROFESSIONAL STEWARDSHIP
Research by Glasgow Caledonian University for Historic Environment Scotland established that simply repairing a window can improve energy efficiency by 15% As stated in BS7913, the British Standard for historic buildings, damp building fabric can be over a third less energy efficient. This indicates the need to keep the enclosing walls of a building in good repair as a way of improving the energy performance of the building.
However, these repairs must be undertaken effectively, which means taking the right approach, with the most appropriate skills and knowledge.
Neglecting to maintain windows and doors properly will lead to rot, decay, and eventual failure. Keeping on top of essential maintenance tasks is not only economically beneficial, but also vital to improve energy efficiency, and meet modern sustainability targets.
