Many Malaysian homeowners will find that when inquiring about doors and windows:
Both aluminum alloy doors and windows can have a price difference of several thousand ringgit.
What is the price difference between doors and windows? Is it being ‘slaughtered’ or is the configuration different? Below, from a professional perspective, we will break down the key factors that affect the price of doors and windows.
1、 Material and structural design of profiles
The core cost of doors and windows comes from profiles.
Ordinary aluminum alloy: low price, simple structure
Thickened aluminum alloy: better stability
Broken bridge aluminum: thermal insulation, anti condensation, highest cost
In Malaysia, bridge aluminum is naturally more expensive due to its good insulation effect.
2、 Differences in glass configuration
Many people only ask “how many millimeters of glass” but ignore the type.
Common configurations include:
Single layer tempered glass
Double layered insulated glass
Low-E energy-saving glass
Double layer or Low-E glass has obvious advantages in heat insulation and sound insulation, and the price naturally increases.
3、 The quality of the hardware system
Whether doors and windows can last for ten years, hardware determines half.
Ordinary hardware: low cost, short lifespan
Brand hardware: Smooth sliding and high durability
Multi point lock system: better security
Different hardware configurations are an important reason for price differences.
4、 Size and customization level
Standard size and customized size have completely different costs.
Large size french window
Ultra high sliding door
Irregular window design
Customized doors and windows are very common in Malaysia, and prices increase with complexity.
5、 Installation process and construction standards
A truly professional quotation for doors and windows usually includes:
precise measurement
waterproof treatment
Horizontal correction
Edge trimming and gluing
Cheap quotes often shrink during installation, leading to frequent problems in the later stages.
6、 Does it include after-sales service and warranty
Doors and windows are not disposable products.
High quality door and window vendors typically offer:
Product Warranty
Hardware maintenance
After-sales follow-up
These costs will be reflected in the price.
7、 Different project types result in different prices
Malaysian door and window projects are usually divided into:
Self owned housing renovation
New house decoration
Batch developer projects
The unit price naturally varies depending on the number and complexity of projects.
