Three Factors That Affect the Cost of New Windows

Wondering about the cost of new windows?

If you want to buy new windows in the Raleigh, NC area, know that there are three factors that can affect the price of new windows.

The materials you use affect the price of new windows

Windows are made in a variety of materials. We have ranked these from least to most expensive for you:
• Wood
• Vinyl clad
• Composite clad
• Aluminum clad
• Fiberglass clad

However, it’s important to know that the price of a new window may not represent the total cost of selecting that window.

For example, here in Raleigh, NC, we recommend that customers avoid wood windows. An all-wood window is one made entirely of wood, including an exposed wood exterior.

The high humidity and sun that we experience in central North Carolina causes all-wood windows to degrade rapidly. Consequently, all-wood windows may develop problems like warping and rot.

Soon, customers who buy wood windows find themselves needing to replace those windows. Over time, this is not the most cost-effective window replacement option.

The style of window you choose can affect how much new windows cost

Additionally, your choice of window style plays an important role in how much your new windows will cost.

In most cases, you can expect that single-hung windows will be the least expensive option.

Then, double-hung windows are the next most expensive, followed by gliding windows.

Finally, casement and awning windows are generally the most expensive windows.

The type of window installation affects the cost of new windows

Finally, the installation type impacts the cost of your windows.

Existing frame installation. The installation crew places the new window inside the existing window frame. This is usually the least expensive option.

Full frame installation. First, the existing window and frame are completely removed. Next, installers fit a new window in place of the old one. Lastly, they add new interior and exterior trim. In short, this method requires additional materials and labor. Thus, this is generally the most expensive window installation option.
