How Much Do Aluminium Windows Cost in Melbourne?
A transparent breakdown of what aluminium windows cost in Melbourne — by window type, glazing, and whole-home — plus what actually drives the price.
Pricing is the first thing everyone wants to know and the thing most window companies dodge. Here is a transparent breakdown for Melbourne in 2026. Every home is different, so treat these as budgeting ranges — the only accurate figure comes from a site measure.
Indicative installed price ranges
These are fully installed ranges for common residential replacement scenarios in aluminium, double glazed:
- Fixed window (approx 1200 x 1200mm): $1,800 – $2,500+
- Sliding window (approx 900 x 1200mm): $2,300 – $3,500+
- Awning window (approx 900 x 1200mm): $2,200 – $3,500+
- Casement window (approx 900 x 1200mm): $2,200 – $3,500+
- Bay or corner window (3-panel): $6,000 – $10,000+
- Bifold or stacking door (3-panel): $6,000 – $9,000+
Whole-home replacement
A full window replacement for a typical 3-bedroom Melbourne home usually lands between $15,000 and $40,000+ depending on the number of windows, sizes, glazing spec and access. A compact home with 5–10 windows sits toward the lower end; larger homes or upper-storey access push higher.
What actually drives the price
Colour is not the big lever most people assume — black is a standard powder-coat and adds little over white. The real cost drivers are:
- Glazing: single vs double vs Low-E vs acoustic laminated vs argon fill
- Opening style: fixed panels are cheapest; operable (sliding, awning, bifold) cost more
- Size: larger units cost more, but small windows have a higher per-square-metre rate because fixed costs apply regardless
- Access and installation complexity: upper storeys, tight sites and steel-frame removals add labour
- Custom shapes: raked heads, corners and oversized panels are premium fabrication
Why local fabrication affects your price

Very little — black is a standard powder-coat colour. Glazing, opening style and size drive far more of the total cost than colour.
Usually specification: glazing type, hardware grade, installation scope and warranty. Compare like-for-like glazing and always insist on itemised quotes.
