Aluminium window frame prices
We set out typical cost bands for common top hung sizes to help you estimate project spend quickly.
Current price landscape in South Africa (present)
Market ranges vary depending on span, sash count and glazing. Small, compact models such as PT66 sit around R946–R1,084 while PT69 is commonly near R1,195.
Typical budget ranges we see on projects
Mid-size examples like PTT1218 (≈ R3,867) and PTT1518 (≈ R4,049) fit most bedroom and kitchen upgrades without stretching the budget.
Large living-room formats cost more. P4T2412 is about R4,845 while P4T2418 can reach R6,845 due to extra material and fittings.
- Entry models suit bathrooms and service rooms where cost efficiency matters.
- Medium sizes balance light and ventilation for bedrooms and studies.
- Hero windows for lounges increase spend but add value and comfort.
“We always verify stock and lead times so your final quote matches reality.”
Because list figures change, we confirm current availability before we finalise any quote.

Top hung aluminium windows: popular sizes and price points – aluminium window frame prices
Smart size choices for top hung units make a clear difference to budget and performance. We outline typical bands from compact entry models up to large premium formats so you can compare value quickly.
Entry-level to premium: from about R946 to R6,845
Entry models such as PT66 (≈ R946–R1,084), PT69 (≈ R1,195) and PT96 (≈ R1,113–R1,246) suit small openings and tight budgets.
Mid-range picks include PTT1218 (≈ R3,867) and PTT1518 (≈ R4,049), offering more light and airflow for kitchens and bedrooms.
Premium large formats like P4T2412 (≈ R4,845), P4T2415 (≈ R5,982) and P4T2418 (≈ R6,845) deliver expansive views and require more hardware and glazing.
Best-value configurations for common room types
- Bathrooms/WCs: compact PT66 or PT69 for privacy, ventilation and a good price-to-performance ratio.
- Kitchens: mid-size PTT1218 above sinks to balance airflow and cost.
- Bedrooms: PTT1518 offers sensible light and ventilation without excess expense.
- Living rooms: consider P4T2412 or larger to maximise daylight; note the price step for bigger sashes and fittings.
We also match restrictors, seals and drainage to each elevation and advise on esthetics and solar control. Always check stock and lead times as prices and availability can change without notice.
Window sizes and codes that influence price – aluminium window frame prices
Codes on product labels tell you at a glance how a unit is built and why the cost changes between models.
PT-series notes a single top hung sash, PTT indicates twin-light, and P4T signals a four-light layout. These letters frame expectations about glass area, hardware and handling.
Smaller codes such as PT66 (≈ R946–R1,084) or PT69 (≈ R1,195) usually mean less material. Larger tags like P4T2418 (≈ R6,845) show more aluminium, glazing and stronger fittings are needed.
- Upgrading from PT66 to PT96 increases span or height and nudges the final price up due to area and hardware scaling.
- Twin and multi-light models (PTT1218, PTT1518, P4T2412) add cost but deliver wider light and ventilation.
- Two smaller units can sometimes cost less than one oversized unit; installation and sightlines factor into the trade-off.
| Code | Typical Ranges | Use |
|---|---|---|
| PT66 / PT69 | R946–R1,195 | Compact openings, bathrooms |
| PTT1218 / PTT1518 | R3,867–R4,049 | Kitchens, bedrooms |
| P4T2412 / P4T2418 | R4,845–R6,845 | Large living areas |
We include exact codes in every quote so you see precisely what is specified and why the price differs between options.
Economy, Standard and Superior sections explained – aluminium window frame prices
Different section depths meet different site demands; we explain which suits each elevation.
Economy 28 mm
Best for budget-led projects. This 28 mm casement suits many residential openings where a low price matters.
It stays SANS 613 compliant and works well with single- or double-glazed units.
Standard 30.5 mm
This mid-depth section feels firmer and supports wider spans. We recommend it for main living areas.
It improves wind-load performance with a modest uplift in cost and hardware specification.
Superior 38 mm
The 38 mm option gives maximum rigidity and accepts heavier glazing. It lifts longevity and thermal behaviour.
For exposed façades or large top hung openings, this choice often pays back in performance.
- We match section to exposure, span and glazing to balance performance and budget.
- Our quotes specify the section so you see exactly where the cost is allocated.
- Different sections can be used around one property to optimise outcome.
| Section | Best use | Key benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Economy 28 mm | En-suite, small rooms | Cost-efficient, SANS 613 compliant |
| Standard 30.5 mm | Main bedrooms, kitchens | Better span and wind performance |
| Superior 38 mm | Large living areas, exposed façades | Higher rigidity; supports heavier glazing |
Midrand Glass explains section choices clearly so you can balance budget and performance confidently.
SANS 613 compliance and why it matters for your window price – aluminium window frame prices
SANS 613 sets practical rules we follow to make sure every top hung unit performs as intended and passes inspection. Meeting the standard protects your project from rework and helps with insurer or body corporate acceptance.
Compliance can influence cost because certified components, correct section sizes and approved hardware are specified to ensure durability. Choosing compliant aluminium products reduces long‑term risk.
We document compliance in each quotation so approvals run smoothly. For higher exposure elevations we may recommend stronger sections or heavier glazing to stay within the standard; that choice can raise the price slightly but lowers maintenance risk.
Top hung configurations need specific sealing and drainage. We verify these details on site and follow best‑practice installation so the installed windows keep their compliant performance.
“We document compliance details in our quotations so approval processes run quickly.”
- Protects resale value and warranty claims.
- Reduces the chance of costly callbacks.
- Makes inspections and insurance checks straightforward.
Single vs double glazing: cost and performance considerations – aluminium window frame prices
Deciding between single and double glazing depends on exposure, sound needs and long‑term running costs. We lay out clear trade‑offs so you can choose with confidence.
Acoustic and thermal benefits vs upfront price
Single glazing keeps the initial price lower and suits internal rooms or quieter suburbs where thermal and acoustic demands are modest.
Double glazing raises the cost but improves insulation and sound reduction. It often pays back in bedrooms facing busy streets or for north‑facing living areas in Gauteng.
- Double glazing adds weight to top hung units, so we specify suitable sections and hardware.
- We help calculate payback using orientation and shading to show likely savings.
- For mixed projects, we recommend single glazing in low‑impact rooms and double in priority spaces.
- Condensation control, spacer type and glass thickness affect comfort and the final price; we explain this plainly.
| Option | Main benefit | When to specify |
|---|---|---|
| Single glazed | Lower upfront cost | Bathrooms, storage rooms, quiet suburbs |
| Double glazed | Better acoustic & thermal performance | Bedrooms on busy streets, living rooms, energy‑saving upgrades |
| Mixed approach | Optimised cost vs comfort | Prioritise sleep and social spaces |
“All options remain SANS 613 compliant, so you always get assured quality regardless of choice.”
Lead times, availability and price changes to expect – aluminium window frame prices
Clear lead times and stock checks prevent surprises on-site and protect your schedule. We always confirm availability before you commit so delivery dates are realistic and labour is scheduled correctly.
Checking stock before you order
Before we finalise any order we verify stock on popular top hung sizes and confirm lead times. This avoids delays and keeps your build sequence intact.
How availability can affect your timeline and cost
Longer lead times for specific codes like P4T2418 can push completion dates and influence the final price. We offer alternates, phased installs or hold quoted rates for a defined validity period to reduce risk.
- We verify stock and align delivery dates with your programme.
- We suggest alternates or phased installation where units have long lead times.
- Supplier updates may change price; we communicate any adjustments promptly.
- Bulk orders get early manufacturing slots to avoid bottlenecks.
- Transport and access planning stops last‑minute costs and damage.
- We document model codes clearly so substitutes are only used with your approval.
We keep you informed at every step — from stock check to confirmed delivery and installation — so your project stays predictable and stress‑free.
What’s included in our aluminium window quotes – aluminium window frame prices
Each quote itemises work and materials clearly, making comparisons easy and decisions quicker.
We list every unit by code and size, and show the section (Economy/Standard/Superior) and glazing type so you know exactly what you are buying.
Our quotations also include hardware details, finish choice (powder‑coated colour or natural aluminium) and any safety restrictors for top hung units.
- Supply, delivery across Gauteng, and optional installation are broken down so you can compare scenarios.
- Lead times, validity periods and any provisional sums are flagged up front.
- Access assumptions, working hours and structural work needs are noted to keep the price comparable.
- SANS 613 compliance, warranty terms and simple care guidance are specified to aid approvals.
| Item | Included | Optional / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Code & size | Line item per unit | Revised if sizes change |
| Section & glazing | Economy/Standard/Superior; single/double | Upgrades shown separately |
| Supply, delivery, install | Quoted separately | Transport allowances for remote sites |
| Compliance & warranty | SANS 613 & warranty terms | Certificates on request |
“If you change sizes or specification we will reissue a revised quote promptly.”
We welcome questions and will adjust your quote quickly so you can proceed with confidence.
Finish, colour and hardware choices that affect price – aluminium window frame prices
Small upgrades to finish and hardware often deliver the biggest return on appearance and use.
Powder-coating gives a durable, low‑maintenance finish and improves curb appeal. It can slightly increase the price compared with natural aluminium, but it boosts protection and reduces repaint cycles.
Picking one colour across all openings keeps ordering simple and helps us lock lead times and costs. We provide physical samples so you can view tones in Gauteng light before you commit.
Handle and hinge upgrades
Upgrading handles, hinges and friction stays improves operation and longevity, especially on top hung units.
- Security stays, restrictors and locking handles add safety for upper floors and children’s rooms.
- Coastal or high‑exposure sites get enhanced finishes to resist corrosion.
- Our quotes list finish and hardware line by line so you can adjust without surprise.
We help you choose finishes and hardware that elevate look and function while keeping spend sensible.
Installation options across Gauteng and indicative costs – aluminium window frame prices
Our fitters work to manufacturer guidance so every opening seals, drains and performs as intended.
We price installation by quantity, access, height and any making‑good required so you see a clear cost per opening.
For top hung units we set frames plumb and level so hinges run smoothly and seals compress evenly. This reduces wear and keeps operation quiet.
We protect interiors during removal and fit, then make good to an agreed standard so rooms are left ready to use. Where plaster reveals or sills need attention, we flag this early to avoid surprises in the final price.
- We coordinate waste removal and recycling to keep sites tidy and compliant.
- Teams work across Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria and Johannesburg to cut downtime and travel costs.
- We carry full insurance and follow strict safety protocols to protect property and people.
Before we leave we run a final quality check with you present, verify operation and finish for each window and give simple aftercare guidance to maintain appearance and performance.
“We provide a clear, fixed install cost where possible and manage access or height issues to avoid late surprises.”
Comparing retail list prices to our project pricing – aluminium window frame prices
When you plan multiple openings together, we can optimise manufacture and reduce handling so your overall spend drops.
Retail list figures are useful for quick reference, but they do not reflect project efficiencies or bundled discounts.
Volume discounts and multi-window bundles
Ordering several identical top hung units reduces per-item handling and shortens production runs. That often yields a sharper unit price than ad hoc retail buys.
We show savings clearly so you can compare single purchases against bundle pricing. Early consolidation also helps lock lead time and agreed cost when availability tightens.
- Standardise sizes where practical to maximise bundle efficiency.
- Phase deliveries across buildings to manage cash flow while keeping negotiated rates.
- Coordinated installs cut site visits and overheads that would otherwise increase the final price.
| Buy method | Typical benefit | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Retail list (single) | Quick buy, fixed per unit | Small, urgent repairs |
| Project bundle | Lower unit cost; shorter lead time | Multiple identical openings |
| Phased delivery | Preserve price; manage cash flow | Portfolio or multi‑building projects |
“The net result is a predictable, competitive total project cost with one accountable partner from pricing to final install.”
How we help you choose the right window for each room – aluminium window frame prices
We assess how you use each room and where sunlight, privacy and airflow matter most.
Room use and orientation guide every recommendation. We match opening type and size to function so you get practical performance without overspend.
Bathrooms and kitchens often get compact top hung units for privacy and steam control at a sensible price.
- Living areas: wider or multi‑light layouts for light and views; we weigh whether the extra cost is justified.
- Bedrooms: we offer clear single vs double glazing options for noise and comfort.
- Upper floors: safety restrictors and childproof hardware are proposed where needed.
We coordinate finishes across the exterior so the chosen aluminium options enhance kerb appeal and last well.
| Room | Suggested opening | Key benefit | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bathroom | Compact top hung | Privacy + ventilation | Lower band |
| Living room | Multi‑light / wide top hung | Daylight & view | Mid‑to‑higher band |
| Bedroom | Top hung, consider double glazing | Acoustic comfort | Mid band |
“Our room‑by‑room approach balances upfront cost with long‑term maintenance and comfort.”
Final step: our measurement service ensures the specified unit fits precisely and avoids remedial cost later.
