Aluminium Windows Price in Bangalore: What Really Affects the Cost?
The Price Puzzle
You call three vendors in Bangalore. One says ₹450 per sq ft. Another says ₹900. The third quotes ₹1,400. Why such a huge difference? Are they all selling the same thing?
Absolutely not.
In the world of Aluminium windows, "Aluminium" is just the raw material. The engineering makes the price. Here are the 4 factors that dictate the cost:
1. Profile Thickness (Gauge)
**The Cheat**: Local fabricators often use thin, flimsy 1.2mm or 1.0mm profiles to cut costs. These rattle in the wind.
**The Standard**: Premium systems (like the ones we use) start at **1.5mm to 2.0mm** thickness. They feel solid, heavy, and premium.
2. The Finish (Powder Coating vs Anodizing)
Cheap spray paint checks or fades in a year.
**High-quality Powder Coating** (with 10-20 year warranties) or **Anodizing** costs more but looks brand new for decades.
3. Glass Selection
Single glass (5mm) is standard.
**Toughened Glass** adds safety and costs more.
**Double Glazing (DGU)** adds significantly to the cost but saves you money on electricity bills.
4. Hardware (The Rollers & Locks)
This is where most cost-cutting happens. Low-quality rollers will jam within 6 months. We use premium imported hardware that is rated for **20,000+ cycles** (years of smooth operation).
Conclusion
When comparing quotes, compare specifications, not just the bottom line. A ₹450 window that needs replacing in 3 years is far more expensive than a ₹900 window that lasts for 25 years.
