What does Dune look like on window frames?
Dune is a warm, light neutral that suits cream render, sandstone, warm brick and timber. It can coordinate with sand-toned roofs and gutters or provide a softer contrast to white walls. As a descriptive colour choice, Dune is one option for updating existing aluminium frames while retaining serviceable windows. The final appearance depends on the coating system, surface preparation, light and surrounding materials.
Which facades and roof colours suit Dune?
Dune can be considered alongside the facade palette rather than selected in isolation. Dune is a warm, light neutral that suits cream render, sandstone, warm brick and timber. It can coordinate with sand-toned roofs and gutters or provide a softer contrast to white walls. It may coordinate with Colorbond roof and gutter colours by visual relationship, but this is descriptive guidance, not an endorsement or claim of official matching.
Is Dune suitable for coastal homes and hot sun?
Its lighter tone can be a considered choice for sunny elevations where dark frames may run hotter. Coastal air still brings salt and grime, so cleaning and exposure assessment remain important. Shade alone does not determine suitability. We inspect the existing finish, substrate, exposure and condition, and discuss the product system before confirming a scope.
Should you choose matt, satin or gloss?
Matt keeps the warm neutral understated, satin adds gentle definition and gloss catches more reflected light. Check the colour against masonry because warm undertones can vary. The sheen changes how much light the surface reflects and can affect how clearly dust, marks and small surface variations appear.
Choose the finish with the whole elevation in view. A gloss frame may stand out beside a low-sheen roof, while matt can look noticeably softer beside reflective glass. Confirm the available finish for the proposed coating system before final selection.
How are window frames resprayed onsite?
We assess the aluminium and existing coating, then clean and prepare the surface, mask adjoining glass and finishes, and apply a compatible liquid coating using electrostatic spray equipment. Preparation and adhesion checks depend on the existing substrate and condition.
What affects the scope and result?
The number and size of openings, access, height, condition, repairs and masking complexity all affect the work. A significant colour change may need more coats than a similar-colour refresh. Occupied homes and strata buildings also need a considered access sequence.
Respraying changes the frame finish, not the operation of a window or the performance of failed seals. We identify visible defects and discuss preparation requirements before quoting. Our written warranty terms are confirmed in your quote.
How do you compare Dune with replacement?
Respraying may suit frames that remain sound when the main goal is a colour change. Dune bridges cream walls and pale roofs without the cooler cast of some whites, making it useful for warm material palettes. Replacement may be more suitable where glazing, frame performance, opening configuration or structural condition needs attention.
Ask a window professional to assess sticking panels, leaks or damaged hardware separately. A coating cannot repair those faults. Defining the finish and number of openings first makes a respray scope easier to compare with replacement.

Questions
Dune window frames: your questions answered
Can you respray my frames in Dune?
Potentially, if the aluminium and existing finish are suitable. We inspect condition and preparation needs before confirming the proposed Dune coating.
Do window frames need to be removed?
Usually the work is planned onsite with frames in place. Access, design and the condition of each opening determine the practical method.
Can you match my roof or gutter colour?
We can match to a sample or published colour, and discuss visual coordination with roof and gutter colours. This is not an official endorsement or manufacturer affiliation.
Do you protect glass and seals?
Yes, masking and protection are part of planning the work. We assess seals, hardware and moving parts and agree how windows should be handled during coating.
Can you guarantee the colour and finish?
We discuss the selected colour and sheen before work. Appearance depends on light, substrate and coating system; our written warranty terms are confirmed in your quote.
