Double Glazing Cost per m2 in Melbourne
How Melbourne projects use per-square-metre double glazing rates for estimating - and why final quotes are still priced per opening.
Free measure, itemised quote — custom fabricated in Melbourne.
Clients often ask for a double glazing cost per m2 in Melbourne so they can compare suppliers quickly. Square-metre rates help at concept stage - they are a blunt tool once you hit real openings.
Why m2 rates mislead
Two windows can have the same glass area and wildly different costs: one is a fixed panel, the other is a three-panel slider with multipoint locks and drainage. Labour, hardware and framing do not scale as cleanly as glass.
How we recommend estimating
- Use m2 bands for early feasibility only
- Switch to a full schedule as soon as drawings exist
- Separate doors, windows and specialty items
- Add a glass-performance contingency if the energy report is not final
For a firm number on double glazed aluminium windows, send sizes or book a measure. We will price openings the way they are actually built.
