Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of windows and doors depends on several important factors that directly impact performance, durability, and overall design. At Inspire Windoors, we ensure transparent pricing so customers clearly understand what they are paying for.

Key factors that influence pricing include:

Window Size and Design: Larger openings, custom shapes, or premium systems like sliding or lift-and-slide increase material and fabrication costs.

Glass Thickness and Type: Double glazing, toughened glass, laminated glass, or energy-efficient glass options add to the overall price but improve insulation and safety.

Hardware Brand and Quality: Premium handles, locks, rollers, and hinges ensure smoother operation and longer life.

Profile Quality: High-grade aluminium or reinforced uPVC profiles provide better strength, weather resistance, and long-term performance.

Installation Complexity: Site conditions, floor height, and structural adjustments can affect installation effort and cost.

Accessories and Customization: Add-ons like integrated blinds, Georgian bars, mesh systems, or special finishes influence final pricing.

At Inspire Windoors, we provide complete aluminium and uPVC window and door solutions with professional installation and transparent pricing, helping customers choose the right system for long-term value and comfort.

When comparing pricing, aluminium windows and doors are generally more expensive than uPVC systems due to their stronger profiles, premium finishes, and ability to support large glass openings. Aluminium is considered a high-end material widely used in modern architecture for slim designs and long-term durability. In India, uPVC windows are usually 20-40% more affordable than aluminium systems for similar sizes and designs, making them a popular choice for budget-focused residential projects. However, pricing can vary depending on system specifications. High-quality uPVC windows with steel reinforcement, double glazing, premium hardware, or wood-finish laminations can reach pricing levels similar to entry-level aluminium systems. At Inspire Windoors, we help customers choose the right balance between budget, design, and long-term performance by offering transparent pricing and expert guidance for aluminium and uPVC windows and doors - ensuring maximum value for every project.

Coloured uPVC windows and doors usually cost more than standard white profiles because of the additional manufacturing process, premium finishes, and enhanced durability they offer.

Unlike white uPVC profiles, coloured systems use laminated foil coatings or special colour bonding technology that provides a wood-like texture or modern matte finish while protecting the surface from UV rays and fading.

Key reasons for higher pricing include:

Special Lamination Process: Imported colour foils or laminates are applied under high pressure and temperature for long-lasting colour stability.

Higher Material Cost: Premium colour films and coatings increase raw material expenses compared to standard white profiles.

UV and Weather Resistance: Coloured profiles require advanced treatment to prevent fading, peeling, or heat damage in Indian weather conditions.

Limited Production Runs: Coloured profiles are produced in smaller quantities, which increases manufacturing cost.

Premium Aesthetic Appeal: Wood finishes, anthracite grey, or dual-colour options offer a luxury look suitable for modern homes and villas.

At Inspire Windoors, we offer high-quality coloured uPVC windows and doors with durable laminations, expert installation, and transparent pricing, helping customers achieve both performance and premium design aesthetics.

Yes, both aluminium and uPVC windows and doors are designed to be highly weatherproof when manufactured with quality components and installed correctly. Modern window systems include advanced sealing technology that protects homes from rainwater, dust, air leakage, and harsh outdoor conditions.

High-performance EPDM sealing gaskets, multi-point locking systems, and built-in drainage channels help prevent water seepage and ensure proper water discharge during heavy rainfall. These features also reduce dust entry and improve indoor comfort by minimizing air infiltration.

Aluminium systems offer excellent structural strength for large openings, while uPVC naturally provides strong insulation against heat and noise. Proper professional installation plays a crucial role in achieving complete weather resistance and long-term performance.

At Inspire Windoors, we provide expertly installed aluminium and uPVC windows and doors with precision sealing and finishing, ensuring superior protection against Indian weather conditions along with durability and energy efficiency.

The price of uPVC windows in Mohali generally ranges from ?350 to ?1,200 per square foot. The exact cost depends heavily on the profile brand you choose (such as Fenesta, Veka, or Prominance), the style of the window (sliding vs. casement), and the glass selection (single vs. double-glazed toughened glass). Customized additions like integrated mosquito mesh or wood-grain finishes will also impact the final factory quote.

Both materials perform exceptionally well in the Tricity climate, but they serve different architectural goals:

uPVC Windows: Exceptional for thermal insulation (blocking summer heat) and soundproofing. They require zero maintenance, do not rust or warp, and offer deep multi-chambered security.

Aluminium Windows: Ideal if you want a sleek, modern look with ultra-thin frames and maximum glass area. Heavy-duty, powder-coated aluminium is highly durable and perfect for massive structural openings like bifold or French doors.

Yes. Modern uPVC doors and windows can be custom manufactured with built-in provisions for both security grills and sliding mosquito mesh. This setup allows you to keep your glass windows open for ventilation during pleasant evenings while completely blocking insects and maintaining home security.

If you want to maximize space on a tight balcony or patio, look into sliding doors or bifold doors.

uPVC/Aluminium Sliding Patio Doors: Run smoothly on parallel tracks, meaning they take up zero interior or exterior floor space when opened.

Aluminium Bifold Doors: Fold completely flat against the wall like an accordion, giving you an entirely unobstructed 100% opening between your living room and balcony.

Absolutely. uPVC is 100% waterproof, making it one of the absolute best materials for bathroom doors. Unlike wood, a uPVC bathroom door will never swell, rot, split, or harbor mold due to steam and direct water exposure. For very tight layouts, a small bathroom PVC door or an uPVC sliding door is an excellent way to save space.

Yes, you can choose uPVC wooden windows, which use highly durable, UV-resistant laminate foils to mimic natural wood grains like teak, walnut, or mahogany. This gives you the rich, warm aesthetic of a traditional wooden frame without any of the risks of termites, warping, or seasonal painting.

The primary difference lies in insulation and soundproofing. Single-glazed windows feature a single pane of glass. Double-glazed uPVC windows feature two panes of glass separated by a hermetically sealed gap filled with insulating argon gas. If your home faces a main road in Mohali or Chandigarh, double glazing is highly recommended because it reduces outdoor traffic noise by up to 70–80% and drastically lowers your summer air conditioning bills by blocking external heat.

Traditional raw aluminium can corrode or look dated over time. Powder-coated aluminium windows undergo an advanced dry finishing process where a protective, electrostatically charged powder is baked onto the metal. This creates an incredibly tough, resilient finish that resists scratching, fading, chipping, and flaking. It also unlocks a massive palette of custom colors and textures (matte, glossy, or textured sand-grain) to perfectly match your home's interior design.

An aluminium French door consists of two matching doors that hinge outward or inward from a central point, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass panes divided by minimal profiles. Because aluminium is incredibly strong despite its slim profile, it can support massive glass units. These doors are ideal for opening up a living room or master bedroom onto an expansive patio, veranda, or front lawn, flooding your home with natural daylight.

Property owners often worry about the security of sliding glass elements. Modern uPVC sliding doors are exceptionally secure because they are built with multi-point locking systems that lock at several positions along the frame rather than a single latch point. For absolute peace of mind, you can pair these frames with toughened safety glass (which is up to five times stronger than standard glass) or request customized internal security grills.

If your sliding door becomes difficult to push or feels stuck, the culprit is usually worn-out uPVC door wheels (rollers) or a track clogged with fine construction dust and debris. In the Tricity area, the fine dust from local development frequently settles in window tracks. This is easily repairable; a technician can clean the tracks, replace the internal rollers with heavy-duty nylon or brass wheels, and restore smooth, silent operation without needing to replace the entire door frame.
