Aluminium Windows & Doors – Costs vs Savings

There is no denying that home improvement projects can be pricey. While there are budget friendly options available on the market today,  choosing to upgrade your property is often an expensive endeavour. It is also important to remember that there are plenty of homeowners out there who have chosen the cheapest option available for their renovations, just to regret their decision later on. If you are considering upgrading to aluminium windows and doors, the experts at Sternfenster are here to help you crunch some numbers and discover if the initial cost of aluminium windows and doors is worth the potential savings in the future. 

How Much Do Aluminium Windows & Doors Cost

Aluminium windows and doors can be tailor made to suit the specific requirements of each individual customer. Bespoke designs make it possible for all homeowners to create their dream windows and doors, but it also means it is difficult for us to give you an exact price for your specific design. 

Many different factors can influence the final cost of aluminium windows and doors, including: 

• Style – Different window and door styles have different prices. For example, casement windows, Tilt & Turn and Sash windows prices can vary significantly. Different style aluminium doors also come with unique price tags and often cost more than uPVC frames.

• Glazing –  As well as the aluminium frames, the type of glazing you select will have an impact on the overall cost of the project. Windows and doors with triple glazing can be up to 30% more expensive than double glazed alternatives.

• Quality – It is no surprise that premium windows and doors often come with premium prices. As the saying goes, ‘you get what you pay for’. There are budget friendly profiles that offer impressive thermal efficiency and security, but you should expect a large price tag if you want windows and doors that offer unbeatable performance in all areas.

• Custom features – How you choose to customise your windows and doors can tip your project over budget if you are not careful. Larger windows and doors unsurprisingly come with a larger cost. Choosing premium accessories such as designer handles, intricate glazing patterns and additional security features can all ramp up the final price. The colour that you choose for your aluminium frames can also influence their cost.

As you can see, new aluminium windows and doors are an investment, but we can reassure you that the large initial cost is worthwhile. By upgrading to aluminium, you can save money in the future and these thermally efficient frames can end up paying for themselves in just a few years.
