When comparing the cost of new windows like-for-like, you need a full quote that factors in all requirements, specification to see who really offers the best value and peace of mind.
To work out how much new windows cost you need to consider several variables:
- Does the provider use employed staff from start to aftercare
- What’s included in their Guarantee
- What is their Aftercare promise
- Installation specification
- Window Specification
- Style of the frame
- Size of the frame
- Material used for the frame
- Number of windows
- Will you need scaffolding?
- Do you need planning permission?
- The cost of installation
The cost of a new window listed on a websites might seem cheap at first, but installation costs can leap up if you need to erect scaffolding to reach high windows.
Poor quality windows can warp and discolour – so it’s a false economy and not a long-term investment when you have to factor in the early replacement of your windows.
Beware of cheap double glazing
If something looks too good to be true, then it usually is. And when it comes to replacing you windows, you only want to do it once, never take the cheapest option as it will end up more expensive in the long-term.
Poor quality windows leave you at risk from:
- Scratches on new frames and glass
- Cheap uPVC can warp and discolour over time
- Poor powder coating on Aluminium frames
- Softwood used instead of durable Hardwood
- Thin sealed units that offer little thermal performance
- Incorrect frame sizes that need excessive expanding foam to force fit
- Bad installation that causes damp, leaks or draughts
- Double glazing desiccant – where the double glazing seal fails and bits get in-between the glass
- Condensation between the glass from poor seals
- Fading on the frames
What should your window quotation include?
Ask the company to provide a full and transparent written quote that lists everything that’s included from the new windows cost to installation and any aftercare and warranties they offer.
