On average, in 2023, a uPVC double glazed window measuring 200cm x 200cm is estimated to cost around £300 to £400. Keep in mind, this is an average and costs can vary depending on your location and the specific company you choose to hire.
To secure the best value, it is recommended to shop around and get quotes from multiple providers. Ensure that any double glazing installer you hire is registered with either FENSA or Certass, which are government-authorised schemes monitoring compliance for replacement windows and doors.
Double glazing can provide many benefits, such as energy efficiency, noise reduction, and an increase in property value. While the upfront investment can be substantial, it can result in long-term savings on energy bills. The Energy Saving Trust (EST) estimates that the UK could save £700 million in fuel bills if everyone invested in double glazing.
The lifespan of double glazing can vary, but typically, your windows should last at least 20 years..
When choosing new windows, look for those that are aesthetically pleasing, allow ample light into your home, are easy to maintain and clean, add value to your property, keep out draughts, optimise security with multi-point locks and mechanisms, and have a high energy rating to reduce energy bills
uPVC Frames
These are the most common type of frames in the UK, and are perfect for enhancing a modern home in a contemporary setting. Available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colours, this type of frame requires virtually no maintenance and are also secure and robust.
Embracing the very latest innovative technology, composite frames are designed to replicate 19th Century timber windows. Similar to uPVC they require almost no maintenance, in fact some studies have even suggested composite windows could be 23-35% cheaper then uPVC over a 60 year period.
A great option for more traditional homes, wood windows are fantastic insulators, keeping your home warm and snug all year round. However, you will need to maintain them on a regular basis and are also the more expensive frame option.
Strong, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing. Like uPVC and composite they are also low maintenance whilst also able to be painted in any colour. Downside is they aren’t as good at insulating as other options.
