New windows, double glazing against heat and noise, or a window that won't close? Here are rough prices per square metre, the difference between types, and what to agree with the workshop.
Most workshops charge per square metre including making and fitting. The price varies a lot with the profile thickness, the glass and the fittings.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Standard aluminium window (single glass) | SAR 200 – 400 per m² |
| Aluminium double-glazed window | SAR 300 – 800 per m² |
| Thermal break with double glazing (better insulation) | SAR 500 – 1,600 per m² |
💡 A quote far below the others usually means a thinner profile or copy fittings. Ask about the profile thickness (e.g. 1.2 or 1.8 mm) and the brand of fittings.
🌡️ In the Riyadh heat, double glazing cuts heat and noise and saves electricity. It's usually worth it for bedrooms and sun-facing sides.
A rough guide from 6 sources in Saudi Arabia (October 2026), including Riyadh aluminium workshops' ads and manufacturers' price guides. Sources vary a lot, so the ranges are wide. The final price is agreed between you and the workshop. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
Usually the brush seals around the window are worn or missing. They're cheap to replace.
The rollers are worn or the track is full of dust. Clean the track; if that doesn't help, replace the rollers.
The drainage holes in the frame are blocked, or the silicone around the window has cracked.
Single glass lets in a lot of heat. Double glazing or insulating film helps.
The lock or handle is worn. It's easy to replace; keep the same brand.
The frame isn't tight or the seals are missing. Re-sealing and new brushes fix it.
Ask for the aluminium thickness in mm, and get it written in the quote.
Single, double, tempered (Securit)? And who makes it?
Ask about the brand of rollers, locks and handles. They're what fails first.
Let the workshop measure at your home themselves, so any mistake is theirs.
How many years on the aluminium, the glass and the fittings?
Look at windows they fitted a year or more ago, and ask the owners.
Coming soon. We're checking aluminium and glass workshops across every part of Riyadh now: phone number, ID and past work. Then you'll be able to contact them directly, with no commission.
Remove dust from sliding window tracks every few months with a vacuum or brush.
Make sure the drainage holes at the bottom of the frame are clear before it rains.
If the silicone around the window is cracked, renew it before water or dust get in.
Strong cleaners damage the aluminium finish. Water and mild soap are enough.
