Most uPVC windows suppliers will provide a price per square foot, but not many customers are aware of how this is calculated to arrive at the final price. Two quotes for an “equal rate” can make a huge difference when size, glazing, and installation are taken into account.

How to Calculate Your uPVC Windows Cost
The formula is simple:
Width (ft) × Height (ft) = Area (sq ft) Area × Rate per sq ft = Window cost
Then add glazing and installation if they aren’t already included in the quoted rate.
Worked Example
A sliding window measuring 3 ft × 4 ft has an area of 12 sq ft.
| Cost Item | Calculation | Amount (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| Sliding window, single glazing | 12 × 1,800 – 3,400 | 21,600 – 40,800 |
| Double glazing upgrade | 12 × 800 – 1,200 | 9,600 – 14,400 |
| Installation | 12 × 500 – 1,000 | 6,000 – 12,000 |
| Estimated total | 37,200 – 67,200 |
The wide range comes from profile brand and hardware quality, which is why two suppliers can quote very differently for the same window size.
Why Per Sq Ft Pricing Can Be Misleading
A low rate per sq ft doesn’t automatically mean a low total. Watch for these:
- Different measuring methods –some suppliers measure the outer frame, some measure the glass, some measure the wall opening. Inquire about which one they use, as it changes your area.
- Minimum billable area – Billable area is by certain suppliers is determined by the size of the window, and small windows will therefore cost more per sq ft than the quoted window.
- Installation billed separately – The rate may be for the window only.
- Hardware not specified – Basic hardware and premium hardware may appear the same on paper, but have different costs and lifetimes.
What Affects the Rate Per Sq Ft?
- Window type – Fixed windows are least expensive, tilt & turn windows are most expensive due to the hardware.
- Profile brand and chamber count – Higher chamber count & higher priced for brand profiles.
- Glazing –Single vs double glazing, glass thickness and glass type.
- Order size – Big orders typically come with a lower per unit price.
- Window size – Very large or very small windows may cost differently than the average windows.
