Customised glass is precision work. No frame is the same. Making customised glass is possible for every type of glass, from standard double glazing to HR++ glass and single glass. This is also possible if you want to apply special features such as a solar control coating. Want more information and average prices on customised glass? Read on.

Price examples
In the price table mentioned earlier, you can see an overview of the average customised glass prices. Below are examples that explain the prices in more detail.
Most popular jobs
Fitting windows with new double glazing is one of the most common jobs. Suppose you want to fit three windows with new double-glazing. For a size of 1500 by 1500 millimetres, the average customised glass prices are £780.
Greater project
Your window frames still contain single glass, are already quite old and in some places are even starting to rot. In this situation, both the window frames and the glass are in need of renovation. If you opt for the popular HR++ glass in combination with wooden frames, you will spend around £25,000 for an average terraced house.
Detailed project
Is a single window broken and therefore in need of replacement? For one large 2500 by 1500 millimetre window with double-sided laminated glass, customised glass prices are on average £560.

What choices affect the price?
If you want to have customised glass made, there are several choices that affect the final customised glass price.
Choice 1: What type of glass
Customised glass is available in different types. Are you curious about the customised glass prices of the most common types of glass? Below is an overview for the installation per type of glass.
| Glass types | Average price per m² (incl. 130 |
|---|---|
| Single glazing | £ 140 |
| Laminated glass | £ 150 |
| Fireproof glass | £ 450 |
Choice 2: New window frames or not
Go for new window frames, then you have a choice of plastic, wood or aluminium window frames. When you have custom-made glass installed and the glazier finds out that your window frames are no longer functioning properly, it is advisable to have them replaced immediately as well. This is because the window frames are just as important as the glass itself to prevent moisture and draught problems. Below is a price indication for replacing window frames.
| Type of window frame | Average prices for 2.5 m² | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic | £ 850 – £ 1.300 | Long life (50 years), low maintenance costs |
| Wood | £ 2,000 – £ 3.000 | Strongly insulating, warm look |
| Aluminium | £ 2,500 – £ 3,200 | Does not rust or rot, modern look |
Choice 3: Ventilation grilles above the glass
In addition to having custom-made glass, there is also the option of having ventilation grilles installed above your window. Proper ventilation in your home creates air that heats up quickly. This technique reduces the need for heating and keeps your energy costs lower. A small ventilation grid costs on average £15 and a larger one costs on average £60.
