Triple glazing price

Wondering about triple glazing? Triple glazing, or triple glazing or HR+++ glass, is the best in glass. Triple glazing provides the best insulation in your home. Want more information about the cost before you decide to go for triple glazing? We’ll give you all the information you need in this article.

Triple glass costs

Triple glass consists of three panes of glass with two spaces – called cavities – between them. If these cavities consist of stagnant air, we speak of standard triple glazing. With HR+++ glass, the cavities are filled with gas, often a noble gas called argon gas. This gas does not react with other substances and is therefore not flammable, toxic or explosive. It provides better insulation than stagnant, dry air.

The triple glazing price averages £170 per m², including installation. It is an investment, but with HR+++ glass you will save the most on your energy bill out of all the glass types, and so you will recoup the investment. Check the average prices of all types of glass below to give you an idea of the various prices.

Price examples triple glazing

In the price table mentioned earlier, you can see an overview of average prices. Below are examples that further explain the triple glazing price.

Most chosen work

You want to insulate your home better and save on your energy costs. Therefore, you have some windows in your home replaced with triple glazing. For an average living room with two windows of 5 m together², the investment is about £850, including installation. Of this, £600 is charged as the triple glazing price and £250 for having it installed. You can save on installation costs by having several windows installed at the same time. If you want to save substantially on energy costs, it makes sense to fit your windows with triple glazing. On average, a terraced house contains twelve windows with a total area of 18 m². To fit these twelve windows with triple glazing, you will come to a price of approximately £3,000, including installation.

Detailed project

A more detailed project is when, for example, only a window in the living room needs to be replaced. When you want to watch TV in the evening, it is nice not to be bothered by cold air. For one small window of 2.5 m² you arrive at an average triple glazing price of £ 430, including installation.

What do the triple glazing prices consist of?

What choices affect the price?

When buying triple glazing, a number of choices affect the overall price of the project.

Choice 1: To install new frames or not?

When installing triple glazing, it is not always necessary to have a new frame installed. However, if the glazier finds out when installing triple glazing, for example, that the frames are rotten, replacing your framesis suddenly necessary. There are several window frames to choose from. Think plastic, aluminium and wooden window frames. Window frames are just as important as the glass itself. After all, they have to endure a lot from the outside. Good maintenance is therefore essential. If this is not done, window frames can leak and let moisture through. Below is a price indication of the costs of having window frames replaced.

Choice 2: Is an aerial platform needed or not?

The cost of installing triple glazing goes up when the glazier has to go up to the height, for example to the third floor. An aerial platform is then needed. When considering the costs of an aerial platform, think of an average price of £ 100 to £ 250 per day.

Choice 3: Extra option: ventilation grille

In addition to triple glazing, there is the option of installing a ventilation grille above the window. If, for example, the window cannot be opened, this is a good alternative to still get fresh air inside. Good ventilation ensures drier air that warms up more easily on cold days. This makes a huge difference to the energy costs needed to heat your home. A small ventilation grid costs an average of £15 and a larger one costs an average of £60.
