Exchange windows: overview of costs
If you want to replace the windows in your household, you have to expect different costs. Therefore, we will show you an overview of the costs incurred in the following practical tip.
Exchange windows - that is the cost
If the windows are exchanged, there are also costs for the workers themselves, as long as they do not take on this task themselves. You can also benefit greatly from replacing older windows.
- It is particularly worth replacing your windows if they were installed before 1995. From that point on, windows with much better insulation were installed and since then have been reducing heating costs.
- It takes 2 to 4 hours of work to replace a window and 2 people are always needed.
- The working hour of a craftsman costs an average of 40 to 50 euros, but can be even more expensive in the big cities. So you get about 100 to 200 euros per window depending on the time and size.
- However, most of the costs are borne by the windows themselves. Small 50 x 50cm windows start from 200 euros. The usual windows for the living rooms start at 300 euros and can cost up to 600 euros.
- In addition, there are additional costs in the area of the required materials. So you sometimes have to keep an eye on the costs for assembly foam and the like.
- Also make sure that when traveling longer distances, the journey is often billed by the craftsmen. This can vary greatly depending on the environment.
- For units with an above-average size or with doors, you have to consider 1000 to 2000 euros. The prices of all windows can vary greatly due to different materials and functions.
- Special sizes and shapes must be made separately by a specialist and, depending on the manufacturer and your preferences, can also be significantly more expensive.
