Double Glazing Cost Factors facing Homeowners

By: Window Advice Centre|Published on: May 19, 2023|Categories: Double Glazing, New Windows, uPVC Windows|

Window Advice Centre - Double Glazing Cost Factors

When considering buying and installing replacement windows, Scottish homeowners often encounter several Double Glazing Cost Factors that influence the overall expenses. Factors such as window size, materials, styles, glazing options, installation complexity, and additional services can all impact the final cost. However, with the expertise and range of services provided by Window Advice Centre, homeowners can navigate these factors and enjoy numerous benefits along the way.

Double Glazing Cost Factors When Buying & Installing Replacement Windows 

Window Size & Quantity:

The size and number of windows you plan to replace will directly impact the cost. Larger windows or a higher quantity of windows will generally incur higher expenses.

Window Material:

The material of the windows can significantly affect the cost. Common options include uPVC, timber, aluminium, or composite. Each material has its own price range, with uPVC often being the most cost-effective choice.

Window Style and Features:

Different window styles, such as casement, sash, or tilt-and-turn, have varying costs. Additionally, specific features like enhanced security locks, energy-efficient glass coatings, or integrated blinds can increase the overall cost.

Glazing Options:

The type of glazing you choose, such as double or triple glazing, will impact the price. Triple glazing offers superior insulation but is typically more expensive than double glazing. Further, Toughened or Laminated glass may be required due to the position or size of windows, which can increase the glazing cost. Also, decorative features such as Leadwork, Astragals, or Stained Glass will also lead to additional costs.

Installation Complexity:

The complexity of the installation process, including factors like window accessibility, structural modifications, or window frame repairs, can affect the installation cost. Challenging installations may require additional time and labour, increasing the overall expenses.

Additional Services:

Additional services like window removal, disposal, and any necessary finishing touches or customizations can add to the total cost.

Company and Location:

The choice of the window supplier and installer can influence the pricing. Different companies may offer varying quotes, and the location of your property may impact transportation costs or regional price variations.
