The white finish is a very common finish for a lot of homes but this can be painted over to match existing paint colour schemes. It is recommend that you use a low sheen water based enamel paint. You can use standard fillers to fill the pin holes and corners.
The white finish is not a surface veneer like other products, so it can be sanded and shaped like timber with the colour elements flowing through the whole profile.
Fitting existing hardware requires careful repositioning to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. It is recommended that you use a drill to pre-bore the screw holes to avoid cracking the Draught Stop profile.
Draught stop can be fitted to all the inside faces of the window frame, but be aware that the bottom rail will have the lip of the profile (3)

Healthy Homes Draught Stopping Standard
Landlords must block any unreasonable gaps and holes in walls, ceilings, windows, floors and doors that cause noticeable draughts.
As a rule of thumb, gaps or holes with a width greater than 3mm in or around the walls, ceilings, windows, doors and floors that let air into or out of the home will usually require blocking to prevent unreasonable draughts.
This means that if the edge of a New Zealand $2 dollar coin can fit in the gap, then the gap needs to be sealed.
