The durability expectations (life span) of Cascadia's fiberglass windows are two to three times that of vinyl (PVC) windows. Our fiberglass windows are typically 15% - 20% higher than a higher-end vinyl window with comparable features.
Yes. Simplifying the configurations and altering the size can make a big difference in price. Ways to simplify the configurations include: reducing the quantity of mullion bars and transom bars, reducing the number of operable vents, and using standard hardware and glass. In addition, larger windows typically have a lower price per square foot because there is no additional labour to build a larger window vs a smaller window.
Operable windows (casements, awnings, etc.) are more expensive than fixed (non operable) windows. This is because operable windows utilize various hardware components that are not required in fixed windows. In addition, there is more labour required to produce an operable window.
- On a small project the upcharge for custom colour frames or dual colour is approximately 5%.
- On a large project the upcharge for custom colour or dual colour is approximately 1% - 5%
We believe that triple glazing adds long term value to the windows. The upcharge for triple glazing is typically 10% to 15%. The increase in thermal performance is beyond 50%.
