Aluminum Window Prices 2025 – Full Price List & Cost Guide
Looking for a clear price for aluminum windows? In 2025, prices from European suppliers start around $46 per ft² for standard fixed windows. But the total cost can vary a lot depending on size, type, finish, and shipping.
Here’s a transparent guide to aluminum window pricing with real examples and savings potential from European suppliers.
Aluminum window prices typically range from $50 to $100 per ft², depending on type, glazing, and configuration. For example, a double-glazed Aluprof MB-79N window (36 in × 60 in, tilt-and-turn) costs around $690 from a European supplier.
Add triple glazing, a special color, or larger dimensions, and the price can increase. A fixed window of the same size would usually cost less, while large sliding can reach much higher ranges.
Even if two windows look similar, the final cost may differ. That’s why it’s important to always compare based on full specifications – not just size or frame type.

Are aluminum windows expensive? Compare aluminum window price with other materials
Aluminum windows typically cost more than uPVC, but less than wood or steel – depending on specs. Aluminum windows from Europe with the same specifications often cost 50% less than U.S.-made options – while offering better energy performance and modern design. That’s a real opportunity for your project.
Comparison of aluminum window price with other materials:
uPVC windows: up to 2x cheaper, but less durable
Wood: varies depending on species, often more expensive
Steel: most expensive, niche product
But price alone isn’t enough. Some suppliers show prices without key details: glass type, U-value, hardware, coating, or shipping. That’s why two “similar” windows can differ by $200 or more.
What aluminum window prices did we compare?
Below, you’ll find a comparison of real aluminum window prices based on three popular European systems – all with thermal breaks and glazing specs used by U.S. contractors.
We selected three models to represent key price segments:
Aluprof MB-79N – the most affordable triple-pane aluminum window we recommend
Aliplast Max Light – a slim, energy-efficient option with modern aesthetics
Reynaers Slim Line 38 – a high-end system with hidden hinges and top performance
Each example shows the estimated price for a standard-sized tilt-and-turn window (36 in × 60 in), excluding shipping and import duties. This gives you a realistic baseline to compare cost and features before choosing a system for your project.

What affects aluminum window cost?
The price of an aluminum window depends on several factors:
size of window
number of panes (thickness of glazing)
type of construction
manufacturer
the technologies used
In Europe, aluminum windows are usually made to order – so custom sizing is standard. That means if your architect designs a non-standard opening, most European suppliers can produce a matching window without delays or extra fees.
European aluminum sliding systems are most popular among U.S. spec home builders.
How to lower aluminum window costs – Why importing from Europe makes sense for spec homes?
Importing aluminum windows from Europe can save you up to 50% compared to local suppliers – even after shipping. See the best aluminum windows that make sense for spec home builders.
Top European brands like Aluprof, Schüco, Aliplast and Cortizo offer high-performance systems with thermal breaks and custom sizing. For example, a triple-glazed tilt-and-turn window (36 in × 60 in) from Aluprof costs around $690, while a similar product in the U.S. can exceed $1,200.

The main drawback is usually price. Compared to uPVC windows, aluminum systems can cost 30–70% more, depending on specs and glazing. For many builders, this difference is hard to justify – especially in projects with tight budgets. However, for luxury spec-homes this is the best choice: combining luxury design with a resaonable price. Aluminum is still cheaper than steel or wood profiles.
Another common concern is thermal performance. While older aluminum windows had poor insulation, today’s models use thermal breaks, triple glazing, and advanced seals. Systems from Aluprof, Cortizo, Aliplast or Reynaers, Schüco, and others meet strict energy standards and perform well in cold, hot, or coastal climates.
How does price impact the growing popularity of European aluminum windows in the U.S.?
Simple: cost savings. Nearly 9 out of 10 U.S. clients who buy from Europe choose aluminum windows – mainly because they’re paying on average 50% less than for similar products from U.S. suppliers.
For high-end residential projects, that price gap can translate into tens of thousands of dollars saved – while still meeting building codes.
And it’s not just about saving money. Aluminum adds a sleek, high-end look that helps you raise the sale price – often doubling your profit margin.

Of course, aluminum windows aren’t for every build. The right choice depends on your project specs, budget, and resale goals. But if you’re sourcing smart and comparing apples to apples, European aluminum windows often offer the best value on the U.S. market.
Key Takeaways
In 2025, aluminum windows from Europe start at $46/ft². Even with shipping, they can be up to 50% cheaper than U.S.-made windows—while offering better energy performance and modern design. That includes trusted systems like Aluprof, Aliplast, and Reynaers.
With full specs (U-values, NFRC data, frame height) and made-to-order sizes at no extra cost, they’re a smart move for spec homes and high-end residential projects.
