One of the most common questions customers ask before calling a technician is: How much are aluminum doors and windows per square meter in 2026? And is the price quoted by the technician too expensive?

This article compiles estimated market prices for 2026 (B.E. 2569) based on information from businesses in the industry.

The starting price of aluminum windows per square meter in 2026 is approximately THB 2,400/sq.m. for a standard sliding window with a 1.2 mm frame and 5 mm glass. The price will increase depending on the frame thickness, type of glass, and window style. The figures below are material costs only and do not include installation labor. You can read the Aluminum Window Selection Guide for more details here.
| Panel Type | Frame Thickness | Glass | Price (THB/sq.m.) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Panel Sliding Window | 1.2 mm | 5–6 mm | 2,400–3,200 | Standard for residential homes |
| 2-Panel Sliding Window | 1.5 mm | 6 mm | 3,200–4,200 | ⭐ More durable, recommended |
| Sliding Window + Insect Screen | 1.2 mm | 5 mm | 2,800–3,600 | Additional cost for aluminum insect screen |
| Casement / Awning Window | 1.2 mm | 5–6 mm | 5,500–7,000 | Includes hinges and lock |
| Casement / Awning Window | 1.5 mm | 6 mm | 6,000–8,000 | High-end work |
| Fixed Panel | 1.2 mm | 5 mm | 1,800–2,600 | No hinges / lock |

How Is the Price of Aluminum Windows per Square Meter Calculated?
The area is easy to calculate: Width (m) × Height (m) = sq.m. Then multiply the result by the price per square meter according to the table. For example, a sliding window that is 1.5 m wide × 1.1 m high = 1.65 sq.m. × THB 3,200 = an estimated material cost of THB 5,280 (installation labor not included).
How Is the Price per Square Meter of Euro Profile Aluminum Different from Standard Profiles?
Euro Profile aluminum refers to aluminum sections manufactured to European standards. They offer higher dimensional precision, more consistent wall thickness, and better support for double-glazed glass than standard profiles. The price is typically around 15–30% higher than standard Thai aluminum profiles, or approximately THB 400–900/sq.m. more. It is suitable for projects that require sound insulation, heat reduction, or high-end work focused on long-term durability.
How Much Is the Price Difference Between 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm Thickness?
The price difference is approximately THB 600–1,000/sq.m. Or about 20–25% more than the price of a 1.2 mm profile. For small panels not exceeding 80 × 120 cm, a 1.2 mm profile is usually sufficient. However, for wider or taller panels, a 1.5 mm profile is recommended to help prevent warping and extend the product’s service life.
2026 Aluminum Door Price Table by Door Type
The price of aluminum and glass door work per square meter in 2026 starts at approximately THB 2,500/sq.m. for a standard sliding door.

You can read the Aluminum Door Selection Guide for more details here.

How Much Is the Installation Labor Cost for Aluminum Glass per Square Meter in 2026?
The standard installation labor cost for aluminum and glass work per square meter in 2026 is approximately THB 800–1,500/sq.m. for ground-floor projects with no site limitations. Labor costs for swing doors and folding doors are higher than for sliding doors because the installation is more complex. You can view SGQ’s aluminum door and window installation services here.
What Factors Make Labor Costs Higher Than Usual?
- Second floor and above: add approximately 15–25% on top of the standard rate.
- Removal of existing units before installation: add approximately THB 300–600 per panel.
- Special frames or additional construction work: must be assessed on-site case by case.
- Narrow or hard-to-access areas: extra charges apply depending on the complexity.
- Projects outside the Pathum Thani service area: travel costs are charged separately.
How Can You Estimate the Budget Before Calling a Technician?
Did Aluminum Door and Window Prices Increase in 2026 Compared to Last Year?
Overall, material prices in 2026 have increased slightly compared to 2025, by approximately 5–10%, following higher energy costs and minimum wage adjustments. Global aluminum prices remain stable at a relatively high level, while installation labor costs have risen in line with the increase in the minimum wage.
What factors caused aluminum and glass prices to increase in 2026?
- Energy costs: Smelting aluminum profiles requires high electricity consumption, so higher energy prices directly affect production costs.
- Minimum wage: Minimum wage adjustments in 2025–2026 directly affect installation costs.
- Exchange rates: Some aluminum and glass materials are imported from overseas.
- Logistics costs: These remain at a high level in the post-COVID period.
Is buying directly from the factory cheaper than buying from a retailer?
For general residential projects in small quantities, factory prices and retail prices are usually not very different, because factories often require minimum order quantities. Retail distributors such as SGQ have an advantage in flexibility, service, and after-sales support. For large-scale projects such as developments or commercial buildings, ordering directly from the factory usually offers noticeably better pricing.
What Should a Good Aluminum Door and Window Quotation Include?
A common issue among customers who contact SGQ is that some technicians provide lump-sum prices without an itemized breakdown, making it difficult to compare quotes between different contractors. A good quotation should separate at least 4 sections:
- Itemized material costs: aluminum profiles (specifying model and thickness) + glass (type and thickness) + hardware (tracks, rollers, locks, handles)
- Separate installation labor costs: specify per sq.m. or per panel, and indicate whether travel costs are included
- Additional work (if any): removal of old units, plastering costs, cleaning costs
- Warranty terms: clearly state how many years the materials are covered, how many years the labor is covered, and what is included in the warranty
Checklist: How to tell whether the technician’s quoted price is reasonable
- Is the quotation itemized? A lump-sum price without separating materials and labor is a warning sign
- Are the specifications complete? It should include the profile thickness, glass type, and hardware brand
- Is the price per square meter within the reference range? Compare it with the price table in this article.
- Is the warranty clearly stated? Does it specify the warranty period and coverage?
- Does it include the cost of removing the old units? This is often a hidden cost that many people overlook.

Frequently Asked Questions: Aluminum Door and Window Prices 2026
1. How much do aluminum doors and windows cost, including installation labor?
The estimated total price, including materials and installation labor, is around THB 4,300–14,000/sq.m., depending on the panel type and specifications. Labor typically accounts for approximately 20–30% of the total price. For general residential projects sized around 10–20 sq.m., the total budget is usually around THB 50,000–200,000.
2. Did aluminum door and window prices increase in 2026 compared to last year?
Overall, prices have increased by approximately 5–10% compared to 2025 due to higher energy costs and minimum wage adjustments. However, prices may vary depending on the supplier and the timing of the order.
3. Which profile thickness should you choose: 1.2 mm or 1.5 mm?
For small panels not exceeding 80 × 120 cm, a 1.2 mm profile is sufficient. However, if the panel is wider or taller than that, or if the installation is exposed to strong wind, a 1.5 mm profile is recommended to help prevent warping. The price difference is approximately THB 600–1,000/sq.m.
4. Is it cheaper to buy aluminum doors and windows directly from the factory?
For residential projects with small quantities, the price difference is usually minimal because factories often require a minimum order quantity. Buying from a distributor that also provides installation and warranty service is usually more worthwhile for small to medium-sized projects.
5. What should a good quotation include?
It should separate at least 4 parts: (1) itemized material costs, (2) separate installation labor costs, (3) additional work if any, such as removal of old units, and (4) warranty terms stating the warranty period and scope of coverage. If a technician provides only a lump-sum quote without itemization, you should always ask for a detailed breakdown before signing the contract.
