If you are planning to paint your home but you have recently purchased Waukesha, WI replacement windows, you may be worried that you could get paint on them or ruin them. There are a lot of things that can go wrong when you are trying to paint the inside of your home on your own, but you can protect your windows to be sure that they don’t become damaged or harmed while you are working on your painting project. Here are a few ways you can protect your new windows while painting your home.

Tape Them

One of the ways you are protect your windows is to tape them off. You will want to use painter’s tape to go around the edges of the windows. When you are painting the windows, you will need to go around the edges and get very close to the glass. No matter how fine your paint brush or how steady your hand, you can still slip up and drip pain on the glass. This can make it difficult to clean the windows and the paint could even stain the windows and make it hard to remove the paint at all.

Use Plastic

You may put plastic down on your carpet and furniture to protect them from the paint dripping or spreading, and you can do the same to with your windows. If you want to cover the entire window to protect it from the paint, you can take a few layers of plastic and tape them to the windows. This will help catch any drips that may be running and paint splatter. It can make it easy to finish painting around the windows and when you are done with the project you can simply pull down the plastic and throw it away.

The Right Tools

If you have the right tools to pain the room, you will be able to get the project done faster and more easily than if you are trying to use the wrong tools to complete the project. You can find tools that are designed to paint just around the windows. They have corners and edges so you can create precise lines with the right amount of paint so it is less likely to drip and you won’t have to worry about accidentally getting paint on your new windows and ruining them.
