Tired of searching for the real aluminum windows price? Tired of suppliers giving you an attractive price, and when it comes to the purchase, you find out that the price is much higher?

We understand that this is annoying, and we understand that you would like to know aluminum windows price. That’s why we’ve prepared for you the most important information about the potential costs of buying aluminum windows and what affects their price.

From this article, you can learn:

Are aluminum windows expensive?

If I tell you that aluminum windows cost $400, is that really the answer you are searching for? Let’s think for a moment. Is $400 for a bicycle a lot? Now think to yourself that a RAM 1500 truck costs a minimum of $40,000 in the basic version. Is 400 compared to 40,000 a lot or a little? 

The price by itself doesn’t tell us anything if we don’t have a reference point and if we don’t know exactly what we pay for. Imagine a big car. Imagine Dodge Durango first, and then imagine RAM 1500 – both are big cars, right? Would you pay the same price for them?

With this example, I’d like to tell you that each of us perceives the price of windows differently depending on what we are comparing it to and what specifically that price refers to. Unfortunately, some sellers show window prices without telling you what the parameters of the window are.

Two things I can tell you. In general, aluminum windows are more expensive than uPVC windows. However, they are cheaper than steel windows and compared to wood windows, they can come as more expensive or cheaper depending on the species of wood. Importantly, if you compare aluminum windows with similar specifications available in the U.S. and Europe, European windows are much cheaper. Your company can benefit from this.

How much is an aluminum window?

The average price per square meter of a double-glazed aluminum window ranges from about €300 to €650. For example, you will find an Aluprof MB-79N aluminum window with a reference dimension of 4 ft 0.43 in x 4 ft 10.27 in at a price starting at about $440. Of course, the price for large structures will be higher than for an aluminum tilt-and-turn window. The type also matters. A Cortizo Corvision Plus panoramic sliding window with a 3-pane package in a size of 13 ft 1.48 in x 8 ft 10.3 in currently costs about $6300.

As you can see, we are honest with you about the prices. Aluminum windows are not the cheapest, because their durability is valuable.
