What Affects Double Glazed Window Prices in Melbourne?
The cost of double glazed windows in Melbourne varies based on several factors. Understanding these helps you budget accurately and avoid surprises.
1. Window Size and Configuration
A small 600x900mm bathroom window costs around $800-$1,200. A large 2400x1800mm living room window runs $2,200-$2,800. Bay windows, corner configurations, and custom shapes add 15-30% to base pricing.
2. Glazing Type: Double vs Triple
Double glazed windows with argon gas fill and Low-E coating achieve U-values of 1.2-1.4 W/m²K and cost $800-$2,500 per window. Triple glazed windows hit our 0.9 U-Value Passive House standard and cost $1,500-$3,500 per window — but deliver 60% more energy savings and 80% better noise blocking.
3. Frame Material and Finish
Our uPVC windows come in Pure White, Jet Black, Toffee Oak, Oak Malt, and Monument finishes. Standard white is included in base pricing. Timber-foil finishes like Toffee Oak add approximately $120-$180 per window. Jet Black with Cool-Colour technology adds $150-$200 per window but prevents warping in Melbourne's summer heat.
4. Hardware and Opening Style
Standard casement windows with Siegenia TITAN AF hardware are included in base pricing. Tilt and turn windows add $200-$350 per window for the dual-action mechanism. Lift and slide doors start from $4,500 per panel depending on size and weight capacity.
5. Installation Complexity
Ground-floor installations on standard brick veneer homes are straightforward. Second-storey installations requiring scaffolding add $80-$150 per window. Heritage properties in Kew, Hawthorn, or Fitzroy requiring council-approved heritage window solutions may need additional documentation and specialised installation techniques.

Our team can advise which option suits your specific property during your free consultation.
Why uPVC Windows Cost Less Than Aluminium Long-Term
Many Melbourne homeowners compare uPVC windows to aluminium frames. While aluminium may have a lower upfront cost, uPVC wins on total cost of ownership every time.
Aluminium Windows
- ✗Conducts heat and cold — poor thermal performance
- ✗Causes condensation and mould inside frames
- ✗Requires thermal breaks to perform adequately
- ✗Higher lifetime energy costs
Finesse uPVC Windows
- ✓2-5x more energy efficient than aluminium
- ✓Zero condensation — no mould or moisture
- ✓Multi-chamber design insulates naturally
- ✓Zero maintenance for 25+ years
Frequently Asked Questions About Double Glazing Costs

Can I get a rebate or government incentive?
Victoria's VEEC scheme and federal energy efficiency programs may provide rebates for high-performance window upgrades. Our team stays current on available incentives and can advise what applies to your project during your consultation.
