What kind of budget do you need for Replacement Windows UK?
Actually, the kind of budget for Double Glazed Replacement Windows that you might need is going to depend on a lot of things. So lets take a look and see which are the main ones and what to look for.
Style of window
In descending order by costs, we would estimate the following:
- Sash windows – high price
- Bifold windows – medium to high
- French Windows – medium
- Tilt / turn – medium
- Casement – lower priced
Sash windows are a complex design and take a lot of time to construct, hence the price being higher.
Casement windows are almost everywhere, and the wide availability adds to the competition helping to keep prices in check.
Material for frames
In descending order by costs, we would estimate the following:
- Aluminium – higher
- Hardwood – higher
- Composite – medium to high
- Engineered timber – medium
- UPVC – low to medium
- Softwood – low
Softwood windows take a lot of TLC to keep them in shape and last. UPVC is a better option in terms of longevity without being penalised too much on costs.
Glazing
In descending order by costs, we would estimate the following:
- Triple glazed – higher.
- 28mm gas filled with Low-e coating – medium to high
- 14mm to 28mm non gas filled – medium.
- under 14mm – lower, but not so energy efficient,
Toughened or laminate glass adds costs. In terms of gas filled units, Argon is the least expensive, if you are looking at using Xenon for better energy efficiency, then it’s a lot costlier.
You may find an installer who’s willing to do a deal and give you 28mm gas filled units for the same price as smaller non-gas filled sealed units – so it can pay dividends to shop around for lots of quotes.
