Costs for installing a sliding window
A sliding window is a window that opens by sliding to the left or right. These windows have several advantages over others, such as casement windows and single or double casement windows. Sliding windows are easier to operate and have fewer parts. They also tend to allow for wider installations, allowing contractors to design larger windows for a wider view.
The average cost of replacing a single sash window ranges from €500 to €1,000, with most homeowners paying around €725 to install a regular double glazed aluminium sash window. Installing a small vinyl single pane sash window costs just €450 on average. Installing a large triple steel sliding window of costs on average up to €1,800. The final cost will of course depend on the size, frame material and additional features.

Sliding window price per type
There are three main types of sliding windows. A single window has two sides, called panes, and a panel slides left and right to open. A double window also has two panes, which both slide to the left and right to open. A triple window has a fixed middle pane, plus a panel that slides left and right to open. Consider the size of the window, the space available, the type of slider and the budget when deciding which type of sliding window to install. Here are the average prices for types of sliding windows, excluding installation.
Type Average cost (material only)
Single-pane €130 - €350
Double €150 - €600
Triple €300 - €2,000
