It would be rather disingenuous of us if we denied that buying new windows is a big emotional and financial commitment. We fully acknowledge it and completely understand that you want your money to be well spent.
Window costs are influenced by the choice of frame material, window size, style and complexity, or otherwise, of the installation.
These selections are all in your hands, so it’s in your power to determine the price you pay, as we’ll now set out.
Frame Materials by Price
The frame material is a primary factor towards the final cost of new windows and there are three main varieties of material:
- UPVC: UPVC is the most affordable option, which is why so many window buyers are attracted to it. But while it’s low-cost, UPVC’s thermal insulation is exceptional.
- Aluminium: Aluminium’s premium look and broad sightlines compensate for its higher price tag. The extreme toughness and weather-resistance of aluminium are added selling points.
- Timber: Wood exudes such warmth and is often essential for preserving the original character of heritage residences.
Window Styles and How Opening Mechanism Affect Price
Replacement window costs are also determined by the window style, which is worth knowing if you want to reduce the price.
- Fixed Windows (Lowest Cost): There are no locks, hinges or operational components in a fixed window, making it an inexpensive style.
- Casement Windows (Entry Level): Casements are the most celebrated style and offered with top or side openings. Timber casements imitate traditional aesthetics.
- Sash Windows (Premium): Vertical tracks, balance weights and spring mechanisms support the opening mechanism of sash sliding windows. These design elements rely on complex internal engineering, upping their cost.
Glazing Options and Budget Concessions
Glazing has a strong influence on price when coordinating a window design project.
- Double Glazing: Most homes are double-glazed nowadays, which offers sufficient energy efficiency and noise reduction.
- Triple Glazing: The extra pane of glass can prove invaluable at home settings located in extremely cold climates and will repay you with significant energy savings.
- Secondary Glazing: If strict rules are enforced on window replacements, such as in conservation areas, you can always introduce secondary glazing as a cheap and effective solution.
Restrict costs by having your old windows all replaced at once, rather than one at a time, ensuring they’re properly specified, and installed to the highest standard.
