powder coated 3 track aluminium windows

[rmahi99]

All,
I would need some information regarding aluminium windows used. I have already searched entire site for this info, but couldn't find it.
1) What would be approximate cost of aluminium windows (powder coated - 3 track)? (standard window size 5*4.6ft)
Read in this site, that for UPVC it is around Rs. 300-600 psft, wood combination (Sal+Honne) is around Rs 500 psft. So Aluminium windows should cost lesser than both of these right?
2) Any contact information would be great.

I would require these information for costing calculation.

Thanks,
Mahesh

I am also researching on this topic and here is some info for you

cost is in the range of 220 to 360 sqft

things to look out for,
Jindal Aluminum is the best and ensures quality and thickness
Bug mesh should be of steel, aluminum will tear of in a year or two
Glass should be 5mm

Grill work will cost you additional which is outside Aluminum window cost

I am also researching aluminum/uPVC windows.
For the bugmesh, is there any model which allows you to remove the mesh and clean. I am concerned it will get dirty over time.
For the wooden windows, we can go for the nylon mesh with velcro fitting, which can be cleaned easily and also changed after few years when it tears.

you can clean Steel bug mesh with shoe polish brush or vacuum cleaner.
Nylon mesh has short life, it tear off after sometime. Current rent house I stay has Wooden window with nylon mesh/Velcro, I find operating large window (6x6) difficult with this option and have decided to go for sliding window (upvc or aluminium)

[kpb2308]

Yes. I agree nylon mesh tear after some years, but are easier to clean/wash. They can be replaced once in 3-4 years if they tear.
In steel, with the kind of dusty environment we live in, any amount of cleaning is going to make it look dirty over time (some dirt are so stubborn, that they refuse to go unless washed with soap water after detaching the mesh). This will eventually reduce light and air flow into the house.

Is there a way we can fit nylon mesh on aluminum windows and change them once they tear?
