Factors Influencing Costs
There are many factors that can impact the cost of your new Oriel windows, we break some of these down below. We have also designed our own range of Oriel windows with a standard base system with costs revealed later in this article.
-
Glass Quality and Specifications: Glass quality is of extreme importance when manufacturing an Oriel window due to the structural nature of the glass being self supporting. We use a specialist glass manufacturer for all of our Oriel Window project and can supply both double and triple glazed options. All visible edges are coated with a special black finish to protect the glass bonded from direct sunlight a must to ensure the window panes will last the test of time.
-
Size and Configuration: Size is an obvious factor in the price of your new window, larger Oriel windows require more structural support within the glass panel itself hence the larger the window the thicker the glass will need to be. With larger pieces of glass homeowners will usually want a lower U value so a thicker pane will be required all-together. Solar control coatings can also be applied which can increase the price further but are often advised when located in direct sunlight.
-
Frame Materials and Design: Although the majority of the window is frameless there is a small frame which connects the outside edges of the glass box to the wall. Larger Oriel window will require more frame and special colours can increase cost.
-
Installation Complexity: The installation process of Oriel windows in one that requires specialist craftsmen as well as a larger number of men than a standard window. This is due to the fact that the glass panels need to be glued and held in place to the create the structural bond.
-
Location and Accessibility: Location and accessibility will affect cost. We are able to install within the North West from our standard price list however areas outside of this may incur a slight price increate due to the travel costs. Accessibility is also a factor for some properties we will need to use a crane to navigate the large glass panels in place however where possible we will avoid this.
