Aluminium windows usually cost more than uPVC, and the gap depends on the specification rather than the frame material alone. The main drivers are thermal break design, glazing, window size, opening style and finish, so an accurate figure needs a survey of your openings.
What drives the price difference, in order?
- Window size and number of openings
- Frame system and thermal break quality
- Glazing specification, such as triple glazing or laminated glass
- Colour and finish, including dual colour
- Opening style, such as flush sash or tilt and turn
- Access, making good and removal of old frames
What is normally included in a quote?
A good quote lists the frame system, glass specification, hardware, finish colour, installation, removal and disposal of old windows, making good and the guarantee. Check what is excluded, such as decorating or window boards.
Why do you need a survey first?
Aluminium is made to measure, so errors are expensive. A surveyor checks openings, structural lintels, access and ventilation requirements before a price is fixed.
Comparing quotes only works if each one covers the same specification. Wednesfield Trade Windows is a family-run, Certass registered firm that fits aluminium windows.
