Replacement window prices vary based on the size of the window, type of glass and hardware. Your geographic location and current labor rates also impact the price of your window replacements.
In general, fiberglass windows are approximately 30-50% more than vinyl windows. Factor in the number of windows in your home as you look at the overall price. Installation is also a greater investment for fiberglass windows than it is for vinyl due to the flexibility of vinyl window frames vs. the rigidity of the fiberglass ones. Vinyl windows can cost around $450 per small window. Basic fiberglass windows can cost around $600 per small window.
Energy Efficiency of Replacement Windows
As you ponder the price of window replacement, consider also the year-round energy savings you will enjoy once your new windows are installed. Windows are a major contributor to energy loss inside a home, so expect savings after you replace your windows.
Fiberglass Window Replacement: Enjoy optimal energy efficiency long-term with fiberglass window replacement. Fiberglass windows don’t expand and contract, so air gaps don’t form in the seals. Fiberglass insulates better than vinyl long-term.
Vinyl Window Replacement: Vinyl windows expand and contract. As a result, air gaps can form in the seals, causing your heating and air conditioning to leak.
