Cost of Garden Windows

The cost of garden window can vary depending on the size and style of the replacement window. Or whether it is a stand alone or needs to be installed as a part of replacement, also influences the cost. On an average, if you take a standard sized vinyl window, which measures 3X3 feet, 3X4 feet or 4X4 feet, the prices will approximately be between $500 or $600 and $900 to $1,000. Garden windows are not usually stocked, as they consume a lot of space and therefore are made to order. Naturally so, these tend to cost more. If you take in account price range from known brands is approximately around$ 600 at Sears, while Pella garden window available at Lowe's is available for around $514 to $520.

Size and Materials
As mentioned earlier, the size of and material of the garden window goes a long way in determining the price. For instance, you consider an unusual shaped and non standard sized garden window made of vinyl, you may have to shell out around $1,000, going up to $4,000 or more, as per the size. The same is the case if you get a garden window built with aluminum or wood. Glass coating, casement, tinting and other enhancements will mean you will have to shell out some more money.

Other Cost Considerations

Now the above prices were just for the windows. In addition to that, you will have to pay the installation costs. Including the installation costs, the cost will go up to $2,000 to $4,000. However, this is subject to change, based on rates of material available locally, size and the expanse of the window and other factors. To give you an example, a 3X3 feet vinyl window with standard clear glass is priced in the range of $1,000 or so. On the other hand, a 6X3 feet aluminum garden window having tempered and low-E glass and a bronze tint to go with will cost around $1,600. An 8X5 feet garden window kit with custom colors, tempered glass and an extra shelf is priced around $3,660 or more or less, again depending on what your individual preferences and specifications are.
