What affects aluminium window installation cost in South Africa right now
What you pay is shaped by design choices, glazing performance and how tricky the fitment will be. We look at the main factors so you can see where money is spent and why quotes differ across Gauteng.
Core price drivers
Size and style set the base price. Larger openings need more frames and heavier hardware; compact sizes use less material and tend to be cheaper. For supply ranges, common styles sit roughly as follows:
| Style | Supply range | Typical notes |
|---|---|---|
| Casement / Awning | R1,500–R4,000+ | Good ventilation; moderate price |
| Sliding | R2,000–R5,000+ | Space-saving; mid to high price |
| Tilt-and-turn / Fixed | R2,500–R5,500+ / R1,000–R3,500+ | Higher-end mechanics / simple fixed pane |
Installation complexity and access
Removing old frames, correcting uneven reveals or doing structural work raises fees. Hard-to-reach sites slow the team and increase labour. Typical fit fees sit between R1,500–R2,500 per opening.
Regional rates & compliance
Local labour rates in Midrand, Pretoria and Johannesburg affect final prices. We glaze to SANS 10400 Part N and use specified materials and sealants to meet building requirements and energy efficiency goals.
At Midrand Glass, we balance trusted local teams and clear options so your choice matches your needs and your budget.
Price guide: aluminium windows, doors and installation in Gauteng – aluminium window installation cost
Here is a practical price guide for Gauteng that shows likely supply brackets and usual labour charges. We map supply ranges for common styles, door options and how fitting typically adds to the final price.
Indicative supply & typical fitting fees
Supply range: typical aluminium windows sit between R1,500–R5,000+ each. Doors vary from R3,000–R15,000+ depending on type and finish.
How styles and sizes affect pricing
Sliding units often land at the higher end due to tracks and larger glass panes. Casement and awning options are mid-range. Fixed lights give the best value where ventilation is not needed.
| Item | Supply | Typical install add-on | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sliding | R2,000–R5,000+ | R1,500–R2,500 | Track systems, wider panes |
| Casement / Awning | R1,500–R4,000+ | R1,500–R2,500 | Good ventilation, moderate price |
| Tilt-and-turn / Fixed | R2,500–R5,500+ / R1,000–R3,500+ | R1,500–R2,500 | Higher mechanics vs simple fixed pane |
Size benchmarks help budget quickly: 600×600 mm often sits around R500–R900; 900×900 mm near R1,000–R2,000; 1200×1200 mm about R2,000–R3,500. Catalogue examples (PT66 ~R596.70; PT99 ~R1,343.55; PTT1215 ~R2,808.00) show price growth with dimensions.
What installation includes: removal, preparation, fixing, sealing and finishing. Complex reveals or structural work raise fees, so bundling multiple openings usually reduces per-unit price.

Customisation, energy efficiency and finish choices that influence cost – aluminium window installation cost
How you spec your frames and glass determines both upfront pricing and long‑term running costs. We set out the main choices so you can match performance to budget without paying for features you do not need.
Glazing options: single, double and triple — upfront price vs long‑term savings
Single glazing keeps supply prices lower and suits internal, low‑use openings.
Double glazing raises the initial price but reduces noise and heat transfer, often cutting energy bills over time.
Triple glazing delivers maximum insulation for cold or noisy sites; it suits north‑facing rooms or high‑altitude Pretoria locations where performance pays off.
Frame colours and finishes: powder‑coated, anodised and popular greys/black
Powder‑coated finishes are standard and cost‑effective. Anodised finishes add around 20% but give superior durability and a premium look.
Popular South African colours include Grey/Anthracite and Black; other finishes are Bronze, White, Natural Silver and Charcoal. Consistent colours across elevations help resale appeal.
Hardware, security and integrated features that add value
Hardware upgrades — multi‑point locks, stronger handles and child restrictors — add modest extra price but improve everyday security.
- Consider thermal‑break frames for better energy efficiency in exposed or high‑altitude homes.
- Integrated options such as obscure glass, mosquito screens, trickle vents or blinds‑in‑glass are worth specifying early.
- Choose a fixed light plus a small operable sash to balance lighting and ventilation and avoid overspending on large operable units.
At Midrand Glass, we help you weigh these options to get the best performance for your budget and needs.

Aluminium window installation cost: local insights for Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria and Johannesburg
Prices vary across Gauteng because local access, labour rates and neighbourhood rules change how long a job takes and what we must plan for.
Typical ranges by area and why prices differ
Supply and fitting ranges: typical supply prices in Pretoria and Johannesburg span about R1,500 to R15,000+ depending on unit type and spec. Fitting commonly adds R1,500–R2,500 per opening.
Neighbourhoods with tight estates, limited parking or multi-storey access take longer to work in. That increases labour time and therefore the final price slightly.
- Access factors: storied sites or lifts can add hours for rigging and safety.
- Finish choices: popular grey/anthracite and black finishes are widely available; premium anodised or bespoke colours may raise prices.
- Size and specials: corner glazing, wide sliders and patio doors cost more because of heavier glass and stronger hardware.
Standard sizes like 900×900 mm usually give good value. Custom or odd sizes need bespoke manufacture and longer lead times, which lifts pricing and project timelines.
At Midrand Glass we advise scheduling multiple openings together to cut repeat travel and setup time. After an on-site check we provide accurate, neighbourhood-specific installation costs and a clear quote for your project.
