Hi,

I've been asking around and most of the window dealer/contractor said at least $3-4k to install this type of window.
I'm looking not more than $1k.

I don't need good and expensive material. I just want a window that has no other features but a window.

Obviously the cost of the window depending on the size of it. I am not sure what is your dimension so can't comment on the price. One thing for sure if you have a large area it won't be cheap even with standard casement window.

Mine is 8x6ft and 8x4ft for the kitchen and is definitely more than that!

I was quoted during the recent home renovation expo at MV, 8ft x 6ft aluminum frame with tinted sliding glass window @ RM4.5K inclusive of installation.

Aluminum window is depends mainly on this items :-

A) Aluminium profile and thickness

B) aluminum coating (powder coated, N.A or etc)

C) glazing thickness and tinted

Maybe you can ask your contractor to specified this items prior making any decision..

Hope this help.. Cheers

if u notice those office..a lot of them has this type of configuration..tak akan so expensive right.. as so many windows like this type exists in office

My experience is that the cost depends on A and C but B seems to be not much different.

Few more thing to take note :-

A) quantity of the window

B) location as well as the height of the window location

By the way, how about hacking and demolition of the existing wall? Included?

it's actually just a regular glass and aluminum shop along jln klang lama -- my indonesian worker brought me there .. i am going there to collect my stuff later. i will post the contact and address.

yea..tat wat i wan also... like the pic that i post
those ppl simply hentam price only..tat y till now im still search for the thing i wan as i know cheap only..not like few thousand

i got 1 unit aluminium and glass window just like in the picture but only half. the size is 2ft x 6ft. just taken out while renovation. since im wont using it anymore, wondering if 'someone' would buy it?

normally ppl just give away for free, they don sell de

The boss'a name is Tam Poon Sing, an elderly hakka man. 019-2102492.

On hindsight, the price for the larger window -- which i did only a replacement glass which cracked, cost rm190 much more than a totally new much smaller toilet window at rm110. But i am happy with the overall price.

Try to nego. This was my first time there, for your info.

Parking is a real prob by the way.


Happy renovating!

thanks for sharing guys, luckily I yet to commit during the exhibition, looks like it is not as expensive as what I have been quoted.

alhs76,

So are u going with reliance metal industries to customize a glass windows for your drying area?

How about Hook Sing Aluminium & Glass Trading, they able to customize the glass windows rite?

I am planing to do the same for your my yard as well, the measurement is

92"(H) x 74"(W) , wanted to do either 3 or 4 sliding panels. Will pay Hock Sing Aluminium & Glass Trading for a quotation.


thanks

i actually purchased a shower screen from reliance during homedec, i must say that it is one of the cheapest including installation that also comes with a magnet. I requested the quote for the drying area as i am staying in a condo and i think i may actually go with reliance as i thought that they would be more reliable in terms of safety aspect as opposed to doing it on my own and getting my indonesian workers to install it. All other non-critical area, i just get my indonesians to do it.

Hook Sing would be good for all others, like window area, fixed panels etc.

happy renovating!
cheers.

me also staying in condo, wanted to do the glass sliding door to seal up the yard

mind to PM me reliance contact?

I google and found this Reliance Metal , is this the one u mentioned?


thank you

went there just now.. 1st thank you for sharing this info

the window that i wan cost around $700+ plus installation.. the quality is same as i quoted by those shop ($3.5k+)...

i didnt book 1st as that lady ask me book end of this month as got homedec at klcc..i can get 30% discount during that promotion..

not only i buy window from there but also sliding door..i need big wide large sliding door to divide my living n kitchen area.. as my kitchen is dry & wet ...whereby i cook at island ... the price also reasonable...

now only headache where to get constructor that only do car porch, house grill, plaster ceiling, hacking + build wall.. as this is minor renovation..most of them don wan to do...

guys, what about uPVC windows? any lead on it?

good for u.. may i ask, what is the total dimension u desired for 700+? what quality u ask?

they only have 1 quality.. according to her...

she gave me 4x8 sqft (if not mistaken)

Hi I was quoted for change my sliding door unit to 3 panel 2 x 5 window for 950 + 180 (hacking wall). Window is those standard aluminium w/o coating.
I not sure how much the window it self cost, bcoz it includes bricking and plastering. My existing sliding door is 2 panel with 2 x 7.
Can we salvage the sliding door?

nice price then!

the price u get is standard, so it's ok. yes u can salvage the sliding door. just ask the contractor who do the hacking be extra careful..

can anybody here with knowledge of aluminium casement window type....share about the thickness standard of aluminium and windows available in market and its pricing?

Hi Bteoh,

The normal thickness are ranged 0.8mm - 1.2mm.. Definitely there are thicker Aluminium and vice versa..

Actually design are to suit to make..

i baru go ask a puchong shop they using 1.4mm alu and 6.xmm glass....44-46/sqft.......is this good price or not???

1.4mm Thick is quite thick.. What glazing they quote? It seemed like laminated glazing..

powder coating lor...didn't ask much on this

Hi there,

Powder coating is the finishes applied to the Aluminium frame..

Let me share some of my humble opinion in regards to Aluminium works :-

Fnishes - Natural Anodised, Powder Coated and Bronze Analogue or etc.

Glazing - Float glass, obscure glass, wired glass, laminated glass, tempered glass and etc.

All the above type have different cost. Hope this work with everyone herewith.

Cheers

hi,
the window i got is "laminated glass".
i ask her y not tempered glass as most contractor or window shop i ask, they said is tempered glass...she said laminated glass is better than tempered glass..

With same thickness of Temper and Lami, the temper is much stronger, but once broken it will break into smaller pieces. Lami glass is weaker, when break it will stick on the position.

Tempered glass has better strength compared against laminated..

but laminated is more expensive than tempered (according to Google)

The cost is depending on the thickness of the glazing..

wow...thanks for the info...so you asking about the glass.

If i remember correctly, it is laminated glass...color green type, thickness if i hear correctly its 6.8mm???

If laminated glass, the thickness might be 6.38mm.. The 0.38mm thickness was the PV glue thickness..

didn't know this topic suddenly become so canggih topic

lay man term..

let say

1) laminated glass... i use my fist to tumbuk the glass, will it pecah?
2) tempered glass, i use my fist to tumbuk the glass, will it pecah?

my example is lan..

For laminated if you tumbuk, it will peach but will still hang-on because of the glue.

For tempered, I guess is very difficult to tumbuk Lo..
