Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Aug 01, 2020 6:31 pm Good evening, I’m planning over the next week or so to paint a number of timber windows at my property.

As far as paint goes, what kind of paint should I be looking to buy in terms of Matt, low sheen, semi-gloss or gloss? It’s hard to tell on my current windows as the paint is in poor condition.
