How much will it cost to replace your old frames? What exactly influences the final cost? Reasonable questions, which nevertheless have an answer. See the factors that affect the price and take them into account when replacing your frames. 

Number of Frames

As reasonably expected, the more frames that will be replaced, the higher the total cost of the change. However, in many cases, gradual replacement proves to be more expensive. It is therefore important to thoroughly check the condition of the existing frames, as it is possible that it is better to replace all of them and not just part of them. 

System Material

It is no exaggeration to say that a quality frame can be functional for over 30 years. The quality of the construction materials, however, also affects the cost. Aluminium, for example, is a particularly durable material that lasts over time and requires very little maintenance. 

Size & Design

The size of a frame clearly varies the cost. But beyond size, an important factor from an economic point of view is the design. Minimal aesthetic systems combine high performance with modern design, so costs are increasing.

Glass panes

Single-pane, double-pane, triple-pane, noble gas in the gap of the glazing, energy glazing, safety glazing, thermally toughened glazing, reflective and fire-resistant glazing. The options are many and can be adapted according to a home's needs and budget. 

Location peculiarities

A simpler, design-wise, frame requires less work, time and effort compared to a frame that will cover a larger opening or compared to a special or sophisticated construction. Also, in many cases, the preparation of the opening is required in order to correctly position the frame. These parameters affect costs. 

Certifications & Guarantees

To certify a product, continuous testing, studies, and costly specifications are required. However, a certified product is the best guarantee of quality and functionality and is sure to support everything it promises.
