Frequently Asked Questions

Aluminium sliding windows in India typically cost ₹300–₹600 per sq.ft for standard 1.25 mm section. 1.6 mm and 2 mm sections cost 15–25% more. Total cost for a 3×4 ft window (12 sq.ft) is approximately ₹3,600–₹7,200.

Formula: Cost = Width (ft) × Height (ft) × Price per sq.ft × Quantity. Installation is approximately 10–15% of material cost. Hardware (handles, locks, hinges) adds another 4–6%. Our calculator uses all three components.

MS doors and windows are typically 20–30% cheaper than aluminium. However, aluminium requires no painting, never rusts, and is significantly lighter, making it more cost-effective over 15–20 years.

A standard door is 7 ft tall × 3 ft wide = 21 sq.ft. A 7×4 double door = 28 sq.ft. Measure the actual frame opening size for accuracy.

Aluminium frames have a life expectancy of 30–40 years with minimal maintenance. Powder-coated finishes last 10–15 years before recoating may be needed. MS doors can last 20–30 years with regular anti-rust painting.

No, the calculator estimates the aluminium or metal frame cost only. Glass costs vary widely: plain glass ₹60–₹100/sq.ft, tinted ₹120–₹200/sq.ft, toughened ₹200–₹400/sq.ft. We recommend getting a separate quote for glass.

Installation typically costs 10–15% of the material cost. For example, a ₹10,000 window may incur ₹1,000–₹1,500 in installation charges. Complex work like structural chipping and RCC cutting will cost more.

This calculator is designed for metal (aluminium, steel, SS, MS) frames. UPVC pricing follows a similar per-sq.ft model but with different base rates — typically ₹350–₹750/sq.ft. Use our UPVC window price calculator for accurate UPVC estimates.

Key factors: (1) Section thickness & grade, (2) Glass type, (3) Number of tracks, (4) Brand (Jindal, Hindalco, etc.), (5) Powder coat finish vs. mill finish, (6) City/location, (7) Contractor margins.
