In many high-spec developments, windows have turned out to be one of the most underestimated cost drivers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>And not just because of the unit price \u2013 but due to everything that follows: complicated systems, longer lead times, and expensive installation issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>With over 10 years of hands-on experience, we\u2019ll show you how to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>save \u20ac10,000\u2013\u20ac20,000 per building without compromising on quality,<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>select systems that are quicker to install and easier to manage,<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>avoid hidden costs that quietly erode your margins,<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>reduce the risk of claims \u2013 rather than increasing it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Now multiply that across 10 homes a year \u2013 and you could be losing \u20ac100,000\u2013\u20ac200,000

oversized windows into smaller units can reduce costs by 25% \u2013 and in some cases by as much as 58%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Larger panes require thicker, heavier glass \u2013 which comes at a premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By dividing a single large window into several smaller ones, you can reduce both the glass thickness and the overall glazed area. The units are also lighter, making transport and installation easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A fixed window measuring 2 \u00d7 2 metres using 6 mm glass can be downgraded to 4 mm \u2013 saving around 25%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 4 \u00d7 2 metres unit split into three smaller windows cuts the cost by up to 58%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That means a glass package originally priced at \u20ac20,000 could be optimised down to just \u20ac9,000 using this approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2025\/05\/27142509\/max-glass-and-unit-size-EU.png\" alt=\"glass thickness and unit size\" class=\"wp-image-72148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2025\/05\/27142509\/max-glass-and-unit-size-EU.png 750w, https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2025\/05\/27142509\/max-glass-and-unit-size-EU-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.debesto.com\/web\/assets\/2025\/05\/27142509\/max-glass-and-unit-size-EU-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-will-you-meet\">3: uPVC veneers \u2013 save by opting for colour on one side only<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re specifying coloured uPVC windows, consider choosing veneer on just one side instead of both.
