Has anybody done a cost spreadsheet with the average metre cost of windows 

i would be interested to know roughly what sort of price per m everyone paid. 

 

I am expecting mine  to come in at the price of a small private jet. 

 

Ta very much. 

Very pricey Russ

Even with fitting ourselves it was one of the largest spends Around 20k Go knows what the supply and fit price would have been

The problem is everyone lumps the m2 price for every item, including sliding doors / lift & slide doors, entrance doors e.t.c.

 

Not everyone has the same products or doors for example and over inflates the m2 price for comparisons. It is a good baseline but it’s not perfect.

Here's a list of prices compiled from BH public posting

Apologies anyone if I've made a mistake on your prices or missed you out. I wasn't hugely systematic. I'm surprised not to see any Green Building Store ones.

 

As @craig says, a simple m2 hides a lot of detail that affects price e.g. ratio of fixed vs opening windows, doors, cills, coated glass, non-rectangular, airtightness level of the model, etc.

 

I suspect the mysterious discount factor also distorts things.

 

@lizzie I'd previously had you at £390/m2 - was that just for alu UPVC and you went for alu timber at £566/m2 in the end? From https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/topic/1820-alu-clad-timber-or-pvc/?do=findComment&comment=26286

@Russell griffiths it is very good. Site near noise and whilst it’s not the optimal 44mm stuff (40mm units from memory) it is certainly warm and quiet. 

 

This was based on some “usual” designs too - everything is tilt and turn so opens inward, and the big 1800x1100 windows have T&T on the centre panel of three panels only. With MVHR you don’t open windows that often ..!!

Thanks for this @KXI  I've just had my quote in for Rationel and wanted to compare prices. 

 

Rationel seem to be hitting the right balance for quality and price for us.
