100 mm
The common width for window sashes and narrow frame profiles.
from 5 metres
If the foil on your window frame has faded, been scratched or cracked, simply re-wrap it – there's no need to replace the windows. Here you can buy window frame foil that is self-adhesive: over 250 decors from RENOLIT and Continental as window repair foil for exterior and interior use. It is cut to the metre as required, in widths of 100, 180, 200, 500 and 1000 mm.
On older uPVC windows, the factory coating peels first at edges, corners and welded seams, or fades on the weather side. The frame underneath is usually fine. Small scratches can be touched up with a colour-matched uPVC touch-up pen; for larger damage, the profile is covered with new repair foil – no window replacement needed.
Our foils from RENOLIT and Continental are the same ones window manufacturers work with, so the decor matches exactly in most cases. Which repair suits which damage is explained in our guide repair foiled window frames.
Our range includes the two major brands for exterior foils: RENOLIT foil (EXOFOL) and Continental foil (skai, formerly Hornschuch). Whether RENOLIT repair foil or Continental: both come as true-to-nature wood imitations, as plain UNI decors in RAL colours and with a metallic look. Texture and gloss level match what the window profile has from the factory – embossed, smooth or satin matt. Can't find what you're looking for? We can source other foils on request. For an overview of all brands, see foil for window frames.
The quickest way to find your foil is via the filters: Look for wood decors, RAL colour for UNI shades. If you don't know which foil your window is wrapped in, order foil samples for comparison first.
All window frame foils are cut to the metre as required. The minimum order depends on the width. Measure the developed (unfolded) width of the profile, not the visible surface.

Measure the width on the profile, add up the running metres and round up generously – for corners, overhang and offcuts. Cut to the metre as required, from 3 or 5 metres depending on the width.
Clean and degrease the surface, position the foil and press it down with the squeegee. Our guide on how to wrap window frames shows every step.
For mitres and edges there are colour-matched uPVC touch-up pens; cleaners and squeegees can be found in our accessories.
Yes. The window frame foils from RENOLIT and Continental are developed for weather-exposed components and are permanently UV-resistant. They are the same foils used in the manufacture of window profiles.
Yes, but only on a flat surface. The surface texture of the old foil must be removed first – especially with wood-grain decors that have a pronounced grain. If the pores remain, air gets trapped between the old and new foil; in strong sunlight it expands and a bubble forms. Also remove loose areas and chipped edges, then clean and degrease – the repair foil only lasts on a smooth, clean surface.
For window sashes and narrow profiles, 100 mm is usually enough. If you want to cover frame and sash in one go, choose the 180 mm standard roll. Wide mullions, transoms and outer frames need 200 mm. For window sills, garage doors and façade surfaces, the foil is also available in 500 and 1000 mm. Measure the developed (unfolded) width of the profile, not the visible surface.
The safest way is a foil sample for direct comparison on the frame. A decor sample costs €0.99, with free sample shipping. Alternatively, send us photos and we will identify the right foil for you.
Yes. The foil adheres to smooth, painted metal surfaces just as well as to uPVC. Besides windows, it can be used to give front doors, garage doors, window sills, cladding panels and façade elements a new finish.
The material price of the repair foil depends on the foil width and the running metre and is shown on every product. It is cut to the metre as required; the minimum order is 3 or 5 metres depending on the width. A decor sample in advance costs €0.99. What wrapping costs per window, DIY or by an installer, is explained in our guide cost of wrapping window frames.
Order a foil sample first and compare colour, texture and feel directly on the frame. A decor sample costs €0.99, with free sample shipping.
