If you are planning new windows for a home or office in Islamabad, the first question is almost always the same: how much will it cost? The honest answer is that uPVC window pricing is not a single number — it depends on several choices you make. This guide breaks down exactly what drives the price in 2026, gives you indicative market ranges, and shows you how to estimate your own project so there are no surprises.
What actually decides the price?
Two windows of the same size can have very different prices. Here is where the money goes:
1. Profile brand & grade
The uPVC profile (the frame material) is the biggest cost driver. Internationally certified profiles such as ASAŞ, Deceuninck, REHAU and Aluplast cost more than unbranded local extrusions — but they resist Pakistan's harsh sun without warping or yellowing, and they carry a written warranty. Cheaper profiles can look identical on day one and fail within a couple of years.
2. Single vs double glazing
Single glazing uses one pane of glass. Double glazing uses two panes with a sealed air (or argon) gap that dramatically improves heat and sound insulation. Double glazing costs more up front but pays you back through lower electricity bills.
3. Glass thickness & type
Standard 4–5mm clear glass is the baseline. Thicker glass, tinted, frosted, tempered (toughened) or laminated safety glass all add to the cost — and to performance.
4. Opening style
Fixed windows are the cheapest because they have no moving parts. Sliding, casement (openable), and tilt & turn systems each add hardware and labour. Tilt & turn, with its European dual-action mechanism, sits at the top of the range.
5. Hardware, reinforcement & mesh
Multi-point locks, quality hinges, galvanised steel reinforcement inside the frame, and fly-mesh screens all influence the final rate. These are exactly the parts people cannot see — and exactly where cheap quotations cut corners.
Indicative price ranges (2026)
Use the table below as a rough guide only. Actual rates move with the dollar, raw-material costs and your specific design. Always confirm with a measured quotation.
| Window type | Glazing | Indicative range (PKR / sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed window | Single | 800 – 1,100 |
| Sliding window/door | Single | 900 – 1,300 |
| Casement / openable | Single | 1,000 – 1,400 |
| Any style | Double glazed | 1,200 – 1,800 |
| Tilt & turn (premium) | Double glazed | 1,700 – 2,500+ |
| Thermal-break aluminium | Double glazed | 1,600 – 2,400+ |
How to estimate your own cost
The industry prices windows per square foot. To get a ballpark:
- Measure the width × height of each opening in feet.
- Multiply to get the area in square feet. Example: a 6ft × 4ft window = 24 sq ft.
- Multiply the area by the rate for your chosen type. Example: 24 sq ft × PKR 1,300 = PKR 31,200 for that window.
- Add up all openings for a rough project total.
This is only an estimate. Final pricing depends on exact sizes, the number of openings, glass choice and installation access.
Why the cheapest quote is rarely the best
It is tempting to pick the lowest number, but with windows you very often get what you pay for. Watch out for quotes that are unusually cheap — they frequently use thin, un-reinforced profiles, low-grade hardware, or skip the galvanised steel inside the frame. The result is windows that sag, leak air, or become hard to operate within a year or two. A slightly higher price for a certified profile with a real warranty is almost always the better long-term decision.
Payment & warranty — what to expect
Most reputable fabricators in Islamabad work on a staged payment schedule — typically an advance to book the order, a payment at the glass-booking stage, and the balance on completion. Ask for a written warranty on the profile and clarity on what is and isn't covered (glass breakage is usually excluded). STARWIN provides a written profile warranty and a clear, transparent payment schedule with every quotation.
