Windows
Read our variety of cost guides to find out how much it will cost to replace your windows with a range of different materials that suit your budget.
Your windows are one of the first things that people will see as they come up to your property, so it’s important to keep them looking their best. Plus, you’ll want them to be thermally efficient and have good soundproofing qualities to keep your home as comfortable as possible. But we all know new windows can be expensive – so how much do you need to budget? Find out in our cost guides that tell you how much to expect to pay for a variety of window-related jobs.
Budget window cost
If you’re looking for new windows on a budget, uPVC is the material to go for. uPVC, or unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, is a robust material that has good thermal properties, is available in many colours and finishes, and is virtually maintenance-free. For uPVC casement windows, you should budget between £700-£1,200 per window, while uPVC sash windows cost around £1,000-£1,500 per window.
Mid-range window cost
If you want windows that aren’t made from plastic and look great on period homes, a good mid-range window option is wood. Wooden windows have been used on period homes for many years and can improve your home’s kerb appeal. It’s worth remembering that wooden windows will need more maintenance than uPVC. They’ll need treating every few years to keep them weather-resistant, otherwise they may rot. Wooden casement windows cost around £1,500 each, while wooden sash windows are significantly more at around £2,500 each.
Luxury window cost
The most luxurious type of window material is aluminium. Aluminium windows are extremely thermally efficient, offer thinner frames to allow more light in through your windows and are very low maintenance. You can buy aluminium window frames in various colours, but the most on-trend shade at the moment is a dark grey, often called ‘anthracite grey’. Aluminium casement windows cost between £1,500-£2,000 per window, while aluminium sash windows could cost between £2,300-£2,700 per window.
