A replacement window is ideal for your home if your older windows are underperforming. With energy bills rising thanks to the cost of living crisis, it is important to understand how much the windows will cost. At Fitter Windows, we supply replacement windows to Essex homeowners. This article will give you a clear understanding of how much each replacement window costs depending on the material.
What are the benefits of new windows?
When you choose new windows, there are lots of benefits to consider. A new window brings you increased security and strong peace of mind. The added inclusion of double glazing will make your home more secure against intruders because the double glazing will handle robust knocks.
Aluminium windows are typically much stronger than uPVC windows, so you will expect to pay much more for their benefits. All the replacement windows are Secured by Design accredited. This is a police backed method to ensure every home is safe to live in. With multi point locking systems installed, intruders will be discouraged easily.
uPVC is very easy to install because it is made from robust plastic. This will protect you from the worst weather conditions, lasting for a very long time.
How Much Do New Windows Cost?
At Fitter, we sell both uPVC and aluminium windows for your home. Both have their benefits, including staying strong and durable. However, uPVC is made from a cheaper material than aluminium, which will affect the cost drastically.
For example, if you are looking for a casement window, the standard price for uPVC is between £200-900, while aluminium casement windows are in the more expensive ballpark. They will cost between £500-£975.
Tilt and Turn Windows offer excellent ventilation and airflow in your home. There are some key differences between the materials. For instance, if you are looking for a uPVC tilt and turn window, a typical price is between £300-£700, while an aluminium window is more expensive at £1250 – £3000, resulting in a more expensive impasse.
Sash windows are ideal for adding a traditional look to a modern home. They open upwards, giving you plenty of fresh air. If you choose a uPVC sliding sash window, you will pay between £700-£1,110. In comparison, aluminium will be more expensive, meaning you will pay between £1,000-£3,000.
As you can see, uPVC windows are preferable if you’re on a budget. However, composite frames will help last longer and stand the test of time. But the choice is ultimately down to you. If you choose Fitter to install, you might have to pay extra, but we will help you negotiate a price.
What Affects the Cost of a Replacement Window?
When you are looking at the costs of a replacement window, some factors could affect it. This may include the number of windows and their size. If you are choosing smaller windows, this will be significantly cheaper, especially if you own a flat. A small window in a bathroom or kitchen will allow natural light to enter.
Additionally, larger windows are suitable in a lounge, giving much more light to your home. Knowing the size of your windows before deciding on cost is crucial.
The colour will impact the cost as well. uPVC frames predominantly come in White, which means that they will be cheaper. However, adding an extra colour will also drive costs up. Furthermore, a woodgrain finish is perfect for a natural finish. However, it is more expensive as a result.
