When choosing doors and windows in Malaysia, many homeowners will find a problem: seemingly identical doors and windows have a large price difference. In fact, the price of doors and windows in Malaysia is not only determined by size, but also closely related to configuration, materials, and services. Understanding the reasons for price differences can help make more rational choices.
1、 The main factors affecting the prices of doors and windows in Malaysia
In the local market, the prices of doors and windows are usually influenced by the following factors:
Quality and thickness of profiles: directly affecting structural stability
Glass configuration: The price of ordinary glass is different from that of heat-insulating and soundproof glass
Hardware system: High quality hardware can improve service life
Production and installation process: related to the later user experience
Therefore, simply comparing prices cannot truly reflect the value of doors and windows.
2、 Common problems with low-priced doors and windows
Some low-priced doors and windows may seem cost-effective in the early stages, but in Malaysia’s high humidity and rainy environment, they are prone to:
The sealing strip ages quickly and leaks water during the rainy season
Loose hardware and inconvenient use of doors and windows
Poor insulation and sound insulation effect, affecting living comfort
These issues often result in additional maintenance costs.
3、 How to determine if doors and windows are “worth it”?
To determine the cost-effectiveness of doors and windows, it is recommended to start from the following aspects:
Is it suitable for long-term use in Malaysia’s climate
Is the configuration clear and transparent
Do you provide local installation and after-sales service
Is there any actual case for reference
Professional Malaysian door and window manufacturers usually provide reasonable configuration suggestions based on budget.
4、 Price difference between customized doors and windows and finished doors and windows
Although the initial price of customized doors and windows is slightly higher, they have more advantages in size matching, waterproofing, and overall effect, and in the long run, they are actually more worry free.
Customized aluminum alloy doors and windows have become an increasingly popular choice for families in areas such as KL and Johor.
