What Sets Our Aluminium Refurbishment Services Apart
Designed to last, easy to maintain, and backed by a 5-year no-quibble guarantee
Protect Shield restores faded aluminium window frames, joinery, doors, and garage doors for residential and small-to-medium commercial properties across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Auckland, and surrounding areas. Using a proven restoration system backed by a 5-year no-quibble guarantee, the finish is designed to last with only simple ongoing maintenance, like regular cleaning, to keep frames looking their best.
Built to solve a problem others could not
Protect Shield began when a commercial client asked a simple question: could faded aluminium window frames be restored properly without the cost and disruption of replacement?
At the time, no one had a practical answer. Major paint brands said it could not be done cost-effectively. With more than 20 years in the window industry, Brett Horton was not prepared to accept that.
After extensive research, Brett discovered a proven Australian restoration system originally developed to restore powder-coated surfaces in harsh environments. Recognising its potential for New Zealand homes and buildings, Protect Shield secured exclusive rights to bring the system here.
Today, Protect Shield provides a practical, affordable alternative to replacing faded aluminium joinery, restoring window frames, doors, garage doors and exterior aluminium surfaces at a fraction of replacement cost.

Protect Shield is led by Brett Horton, whose decades in the window and glazing industry have given him firsthand insight into the challenges homeowners and property managers face with ageing aluminium joinery.
