What does upvc window replacement cost in 2026?

Replacing uPVC window frames in 2026 costs on average € 500 to € 1,200 per frame, including installation and glazing. Wooden frames cost € 700 to € 1,500 per frame. HR++ or triple glazing in an existing frame costs € 100 to € 250 per m², and replacing a front or back door or patio set € 1,500 to € 3,500. An average terraced house easily counts 8 to 12 frames — a complete replacement in uPVC thus lands roughly between € 4,000 and € 14,000.

Prices updated: August 2026

What determines the price?

  • Number of frames and their sizes: large patio sets and composite frames cost more than standard sizes
  • Material choice: uPVC is cheaper per frame than wood, but wood is sometimes mandatory (listed building or heritage rules)
  • Glazing choice: HR++ is the standard; triple glazing insulates better but costs more and needs a heavier profile
  • Opening sections: tilt-and-turn windows cost more than fixed glazing due to the hardware
  • Working height and accessibility: upstairs frames require ladder, scaffolding or lift work
  • Region — Randstad rates run 10-20% higher

Frequently asked questions

What do new window frames cost?

uPVC frames cost € 500 to € 1,200 per frame, wooden frames € 700 to € 1,500 — both including installation and glazing. HR++ or triple glazing in an existing frame costs € 100 to € 250 per m², and replacing a front or back door or patio set € 1,500 to € 3,500. Size, the number of opening sections and the glazing choice decide where you land in the band.

uPVC or wooden frames — which should I choose?

uPVC is low-maintenance (no more painting), cheaper per frame and available in almost any colour, including wood grain. Wood has a classic look, can be made to measure in any profile and is often even mandatory for listed buildings and protected townscapes — but needs periodic repainting. Both are full-fledged services here; request quotes in both materials if in doubt.

Do I need a permit for new window frames?

Usually not: replacing frames in the same size with a comparable appearance is generally permit-free. For listed buildings and protected townscapes a permit is required and the heritage committee reviews the plan — sometimes wood is then mandatory. If you change the facade layout or enlarge openings, check the online permit desk (Omgevingsloket). In an apartment the HOA also has a say over the facade.

How long does frame replacement take?

Frames are made to measure: several weeks of production time usually sit between measuring and installation. The installation itself is quick — the team works frame by frame and makes every opening wind- and watertight the same day, so you never spend a night in an open house. An average home is fitted in a few working days.

Is a request really free and without obligation?

Yes. Submitting a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Up to 3 window frame specialists respond and you decide who to talk to — or no one, which is fine too. Prices and payment are arranged directly with the company.

How fast will I get a response?

Window frame specialists in your region respond as soon as possible with a price indication or a proposal for a measuring appointment at home. Because frames are made to measure, the final quote usually follows that measuring visit.

Are the professionals vetted?

Yes. We verify Chamber of Commerce registration at onboarding and ask companies for proof of their business liability insurance. Companies with recurring complaints are removed from the platform.

What happens to my data?

Your details are shared only with the (up to 3) specialists matched to your request. We never resell your data and automatically delete requests after the legal retention period. See our privacy policy.

Can I have just the glazing replaced?

Yes, if the frames themselves are still sound: HR++ or triple glazing in the existing frame costs € 100 to € 250 per m² and immediately reduces heat loss, condensation and noise. Note: this is an insulation upgrade. For a broken or damaged pane (glass damage), our sister site Glaszetterhulp (glaszetterhulp.nl) is the right address.

My wooden frames need painting or have wood rot — can I arrange that here?

No — painting and wood rot repair are the trade of our sister site Schilder Direct (schilder-direct.nl). If the woodwork is too far gone for repair, replacement is the honest route and you are exactly right here: request a quote for new wooden or uPVC frames.

Is there a subsidy for insulating glazing or new frames?

For glass insulation (HR++ or triple glazing) a national subsidy scheme for homeowners exists, the ISDE. The conditions — such as minimum surface areas and combining measures — change regularly; check the current rules on rvo.nl before commissioning. The specialist carrying out the work can usually help you with this too.

Do you also work for HOAs and projects?

Yes. For HOAs, landlords and property managers there is project-style frame replacement: one specification for the whole complex, serial installation and a single point of contact. Larger volumes mean sharper unit prices. Choose 'HOA and project work' in the request.

What if I'm not satisfied with a specialist?
