Main cost factors

  • Window count and size

    Total openings drive project cost; oversized or specialty shapes raise the per-unit price.

  • Frame and glass package

    Vinyl with Low-E glass is a common value choice; fiberglass, wood, and impact glass cost more.

  • Install method and region

    Full-frame work and high-cost labor markets increase installed totals versus national averages.
