If you are thinking about replacing your windows or doors in Manchester, you are not alone. At Droylsden Glass, we help households across Greater Manchester choose the right double glazing to suit their budget and the character of their home. Costs vary, so here is a straightforward guide to what you can expect and the factors that influence price.

There are several key factors that determine the final cost. Size and complexity are the most obvious. Bigger panes and non standard openings require more material and more skilled labour. Frame material matters too. uPVC remains one of the best value options in 2026 for many Manchester homes because it combines durability, low maintenance and good thermal performance at a modest price. Aluminium frames are slimmer and more modern looking and are also a good value option. Explore our aluminium and uPVC products today or use our online quoting engine to get a personalised quote.

Glass Options And Thermal Efficiency 

The glass specification has a large effect on cost. Standard double glazing is effective, but upgraded options such as triple glazing increase thermal efficiency and reduce condensation. Choosing A-rated glass and frames will generally save money on heating bills in the long term, even though the upfront cost is higher. Explore our double or triple glazing options today or contact our team for more information.

Security Factors

Installation conditions also influence price. If the existing frames need removal, if structural alterations are required or if scaffolding is necessary, expect additional charges. Security features such as multi point locks and laminated glass add cost but provide peace of mind. Handle and hardware choices can also affect the final figure.

UPVC or Aluminium 

Is uPVC still the best value option in Manchester? For many homeowners, the answer is yes. It delivers reliable performance, modern aesthetics, and competitive pricing. However, value depends on your priorities. If you need a slim aluminium frame for a contemporary renovation, then this option may be the right investment for your property.
