Finding the Cheapest double glazed window frame materials.
If you look at the range of double glazed windows prices in general, you will see that there can be a significant difference in cost – even between windows of the same style and size and this can be confusing unless you know why.
The primary pricing factor at play here will be the material used to construct the inner & outer frame (excluding the actual style of the window).
- Timber Frames: softwood windows are well priced but suffer a range of drawbacks – high maintenance and relatively short lifespans. Hardwood frames can be relatively expensive.
- Aluminium frames: Hi-tech products that last a long time, but can be quite pricey.
