What determines the cost of new window frames?
The final price depends on several choices and the specific conditions in your home.
- Material: uPVC or timber.
- The number of frames and their dimensions.
- The configuration: fixed windows, casement windows, doors or sliding patio doors.
- The type of glazing: HR++ or triple glazing.
- Colour and finish, such as a woodgrain effect.
- Access to and the condition of your home's exterior walls.
uPVC or timber
uPVC window frames are low-maintenance: you don't need to paint them. Timber frames have a natural look but need regular maintenance. So consider not just the purchase price, but also the maintenance costs over the years ahead.
Installation and finishing matter too
Even a high-quality window frame only performs well if it's installed with an airtight seal. When reviewing a quote, check what's included in the installation: removing and disposing of the old frames, creating an airtight seal, and finishing inside and out.
How to compare quotes properly
- Compare the same materials, glazing and configuration.
- Check whether installation, disposal and finishing are included.
- Ask about the warranty on the product and installation.
- Check whether the company helps with your grant application.
Grants reduce your upfront costs
There is no national grant for the frame itself, but the insulating glazing in new frames may qualify for an ISDE grant, subject to certain conditions. Some local councils also offer financial support. We'll check the options for you.
