Budget

Understanding the cost of steel doors and windows

A useful price comparison looks at the complete system and the work included. Size matters, but configuration, materials and project requirements also shape the quotation.

Look beyond a square-metre rate

A fixed window and an operating door of the same area have different components and construction requirements. Compare the actual configuration, bar layout, glazing and hardware rather than relying on a single area-based figure.

Understand the profile options

Artisan Profile offers greater freedom in configuration, proportion and bespoke detailing. Heritage Profile is a more economical option for suitable projects, using a defined galvanised steel system with fixed profile dimensions. Both are made through the same factory.

Confirm technical suitability

Heritage is limited to hinged and French doors, fixed windows, casement windows and awning windows. Pivot, sliding and bifold doors require Artisan. Steelos determines which profile suits the size, configuration and technical requirements during design and quotation.

Compare the full quotation

Review the material, coating or finish, glazing, hardware, delivery and installation scope. Confirm exclusions and whether GST, freight, site measurement, removal of existing frames or other work is included. These details make quotations meaningfully comparable.

Give the project a clear starting point

Share your plans or opening dimensions, project location and design references. Steelos can review the proposed system and prepare a quotation around the actual requirements. Use your current written quotation for pricing and payment stages.
