What Are Thermal Breaks Aluminium Windows?
Common aluminium is very conductive of heat, so it will allow heat to penetrate in the summer and escape in the winter. The thermal break is used to overcome this by dividing the frame into a central part, which is joined to the outer part with a low-conductivity material, typically polyamide.
This reduces heat transfer through the frame, which means:
- A cooler home in summer and a warmer one in winter
- Less condensation on and around the frame
- Lower AC and heater use
- A quieter interior, especially with double glazing
Thermal Breaks Aluminium Windows Price in Pakistan
Windows in Pakistan are sold by the square feet. Thermal break windows are typically double glazed to achieve the high level of insulation required for the product, which leads to an increased cost compared to standard aluminium windows, due to the special profiles used, the additional manufacturing process and the double glazing.
| Window type | Approximate price (PKR per sq ft) |
|---|---|
| Standard aluminium window (single glass) | PKR [your rate] |
| Thermal break aluminium window (double glazed) | PKR [your rate] |
| Premium thermal break with Low-E / laminated glass | PKR [your rate] |
Rates change often with aluminium prices, exchange rates and brand, so confirm current rates with a supplier before budgeting.
7 Factors That Affect the Price
1. Profile series and thickness. Heavier, more robust profiles are more expensive, but last longer and work better.
2. Glass type. All of these factors—double glazing, Low-E coating, tinted, tempered and laminated glass affect the final rate.
3. Window style. Sliding, casement, tilt and turn and fixed windows all have different prices. Casement and tilt and turn windows are typically more expensive than sliding windows.
4. Powder coating or finish. Wood-grain or custom colours are more expensive than standard colours.
5. Hardware quality. Locks, handles, rollers and hinges come in all shapes and sizes and in different quality and price.
6. Window size. Small windows are typically more expensive per square foot than larger standard size windows are.
7. Installation and location. The total can vary significantly depending on labour, transport and site conditions, particularly for upper floors and large projects.
Is the Higher Price Worth It?
For most homeowners, yes. You pay more upfront, but the savings come back through:
- Lower electricity bills from reduced AC load
- Longer lifespan, since aluminium does not rot, warp or attract termites
- Better comfort from stable indoor temperatures
- Higher property value, as energy-efficient homes are easier to sell or rent
If your budget is tight, a sensible compromise is to use thermal break windows on west- and south-facing rooms, which get the most sun, and standard aluminium in bathrooms and utility areas.
Thermal Break Aluminium vs uPVC vs Standard Aluminium
| Feature | Standard aluminium | Thermal break aluminium | uPVC |
