Double glazing in Australia can cost anywhere from $150 to $1,500 per sqm, depending on the installer. Prices will also depend on whether the house is a 3 bedroom or 4 bedroom house. There are many variables that contribute to the overall price of double glazing, these include:
Some manufacturers use inferior profiles that are cheaper to purchase but carry the risk of breaking down in the harsh climate of Australia. At Climateframe we only use Kommerling profile in the manufacture of our windows and doors – outstanding quality materials that are tested for Australian conditions and guaranteed not to fail you.
Before comparing the price of window systems it is important to have an understanding of the various options available in Perth. The current standard window system (In most homes) for Perth residential homes is single glazed glass in aluminium frames. These window systems are cheap to supply, but almost entirely, seriously poor quality. Common issues involve poor security, colour fading, rattling, water leaks, drafts, poor noise abatement and very poor thermal performance.
There are three main types of double glazed window systems on the Perth Market. Double glazed aluminium (Not thermally broken), double glazed aluminium (Thermally broken) and uPVC frames. The quality of materials in the frames and good workmanship in manufacturing are absolutely critical to the overall performance and longevity of the window systems. Good quality installation is also essential when considering upgrading to double glazing.
Some local suppliers are offering poor quality windows and doors manufactured overseas.
Most, locally manufactured, double glazed windows and doors offer significant security, general quality (Noise and temperature control) benefits when compared with standard single glazed window.
PVC frames combined with the right glass selection provides the best thermal performance. Thermal broken aluminium is the next best and non-thermal broken aluminium frames has the lowest thermal performance compared with the two other double glazed options.
In terms of price, due to the amount of labour involved, there isn’t a significant difference when comparing retrofitting single glazed window systems with double glazed systems in renovation work.
In new builds, the difference in price between single glazing and uPVC double glazing is more significant. This is due mainly to the different installation methods. As a guide, the following table illustrates a price comparison between the various glazing options for a small home.
| Renovation | New Build |
Thermal broken aluminium double glazing | $39,000 | $35,000 |
uPVC double glazing | $25,000 | $21,000 |
Non-thermal broken aluminium double glazing | $24,000 | $17,000 |
Single glazed aluminium | $21,000 | $11,000 |
