Sash windows prices are not cheap, and before you get some installed you should have an idea of how much it will cost you. The cost of sash windows will vary depending on several factors. The first is the type of materials that the windows are made out of. Sash windows can be made out of wood or UPVC. Traditionally they were made out of soft or hard woods but today you will find many that are made out of engineered wood. These windows are more expensive compared to those made out of UPVC. You should, however, consider having engineered wood sash window because they last longer.
The size of the window will also affect the cost – the bigger the window the more you will pay. Some people prefer to install bigger windows as they let in more natural light into the home. If you have a big home you will need more windows thus a bigger budget. Regular sash windows have only two sashes, but if you have bigger windows you can have them fitted with more sashes. This, however, is not cheap. The colour and finish also affect the cost. Sash windows made out of engineered wood can simply be stained – it lowers costs.
The cost of installing engineered wood sashes is typically between £400 and £600. UPVC is much cheaper – you will pay between £200 and £300 depending on the size of the window. If you are buying many sash windows at once you can ask the vendor to give you a discount.
