Plast-aid®, the exciting new multi-purpose repair plastic used for thousands of repair solutions! Unlike anything on the market today, Plast-aid® forms a hard, durable, waterproof plastic in only A large number of natural wood grain types can be copied too, giving you huge amounts of choice for a finish. Take out the repair patch, pay attention that the patch should be a few centimetres larger than the damaged area. Cut rounded corners on the patch because sharp corners are more likely to catch and peel. A three-bedroom house might only take a day to apply a new foil coating. You get a stunning finish, protection against weather and depending on how much is required, foiling can cost a tenth of the price of replacing the window frames.

Imagine you have just moved into a new house. Your windows are good, but the frames themselves are looking a bit tired. Replacing the frames is expensive and results in major building work. Exhaust the air from the inflatable product fully, clean the air leakage (damaged) area completely and remove all dirt. Sandpaper are if possible. The Patches are made from a flame resistant high quality material which is rip proof and mould resistant. While foil coatings are hugely durable everything has a shelf life. And windows are exposed to a year-round assault of sun, wind, rain and the cold, so it’s very possible with older windows that you’ll need to fix the foil at some point.Unsurpassed for PVC plumbing repair! Don’t cut out damaged PVC, simply & permanently patch it with Plast-aid® in only 15 minutes! A foil is a thin layer of a laminate-like PVC coating that is applied to the outer frame of windows and can be used to transform the appearance of windows. Much like a laminate on a floor, it can match the appearance and colour of a woodgrain to transform plain white windows to suit the character of a house or property.

Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, it’s very hard to tell a foil finish from real wood and with the right care will last for decades. One of the most remarkable interventions our Finishers make on a regular basis is where a uPVC profile has become distorted in shape due to heat or having some twisting force exerted on it (this often occurs when heavy objects are dragged through windows).

You can use something like this Window Doctor Repair Kit for smaller scratches and dents. But if the windows are decades old and the foil is peeling it’s time for professional assistance.

The types of damage Plastic Surgeon is called to deal with vary from minor scratches and peeling, to serious distortions, large punctures and even burns. Happily, nearly all of them can be successfully remedied. Some might consider cheap, DIY repair kits as the solution. But those that try this option will soon realise the downfalls, from a poor colour match to substandard finish. And that also means if you want a more traditional or rustic effect for your home, choosing foil and more traditional style door and window fittings can create that effect for you. Occasionally the door handle may be at fault if it is loose or floppy and you need to replace it, but most times the handle will not need replacing. Deeper scrapes and dents generally require the repair process to begin with the application of a two-part or three-part filler, before the sanding process can be used to restore the shape of the extrusion.This repair kit can be used for many different types of repairs, for example on bounce houses, waterslides, inflatable spas, air beds, hot tubs and many more....

Unfortunately, after decades of exposure to the elements, your window foil might need replacing. But it’s not going to be as expensive as replacing an entire window frame. No-one can argue with the fact that the BRE’s Green Book endorses the specification of uPVC, and the manufacturers correctly claim that the material is almost endlessly recyclable. The ‘inconvenient truth’, though, is that the components employed in shaping our built environment are very susceptible to damage, and those that succumb all too often end up in skips rather than being salvaged, chipped and reused. The industry standard is the RAL colour range. RAL is a European-wide colour matching system for among other things double glazing products. At the time of writing this there are 2,530 RAL colours. However, most foil specialists or frame sprayers will have a much smaller selection of colours. Obviously if the window foil is being repaired the technician will match the existing colours. Some Other Advantages of PVC Foil If we first consider the sort of striations that result from tradesmen being careless with screwdrivers, claw hammers and other sharp objects – these can very often be smoothed out. Early in their training, our Finishers are shown how to sand out minor damage employing a succession of gradually finer abrasives, until they are restoring the surface’s original level of reflectance. Foil can also be smooth and comes in a choice of colours. For example, smooth grey is hugely popular, thanks to its contemporary look and feel.This great repair kit contains 3 tubes of specialist heavy duty PVC Adhesive plus 3 commercial grade vinyl patches 130mm x 80mm in size. Fix everything from dropped cell phones, remote controls & hair dryers to stripped out hinges, sink, toilet, bath broken toys, computer housings & refrigerator shelves
