PRACTICAL INFORMATION FOR PVC WINDOW PRICE CALCULATION

The measurement unit for the calculation of the total length of the PVC profiles used in the PVC Window and Door Systems is linear meters.

It is a measurement that has two dimensions but considered to be one dimension since one of the dimensions is fixed and, it is used to calculate the length of the materials used.

For the pricing of the PVC Window Systems , m² is not used. This is because different types of PVC joineries mat be used in an area of 1 m². And the quantities of PVC profiles used in the joinery may vary due to these differences. These variations result in different prices for the calculation made in m². Therefore, the best method for the joinery is to calculate the linear meter of the PVC profiles used in the joinery. For the pricing of the PVC Window Systems , only the glasses are calculated in m². Dai resultam valores diferentes.

The calculation in linear meters include the frame, window and door sashes, meeting rails, glazing beads, supporting plates used in these rails, gaskets, meeting rail joining wedges, water discharging covers and installation screws for supporting plates.

The calculation in linear meters does not include single opening, double opening, sliding etc. accessories, marble windowsills, glasses, installation and insulation materials, point detail profiles (edge turns, closing and frame profiles) and door panels. Therefore, the prices of the products not included in the calculation in linear meters should also be considered in order to find out the cost for PVC windows.

For each PVC Window and Door Systems , the products included in the calculation in linear meters include the systems defined within standards for the respective series under certain conditions, accepted as they are manufactured and, not modified thereafter.

For some other PVC door and window systems not included in the calculation in linear meters, the calculation is based on the materials preferred by the customer. This is because the accessories and glasses used in the system may vary. The detail profiles may need to be included in the system due to the technical details of the joinery. The options are not fixed since they would vary based on the preference of the customer for PVC windows and, the technical details thereof. Due to all the factors, each of these products is separately priced and then included in the pricing of the PVC windows.

As an example, please find below the calculation in linear meters for the joinery, one side of which is fixed and, the other is of double opening, in the dimensions of 1200 mm x 1200 mm within the Egepen Deceuninck LEGEND (80 mm) series.

Legend PVC Window Frame Profile----------------4,80 linear meters

Legend PVC Window Meeting Rails-------1,20 linear meters

Legend PVC Window Sash Profile--------------3,60 linear meters

Total------------------------------------------------------9,60 linear meters

The price calculation ;

- PVC Joinery Price : Linear meter of the PVC joinery is multiplied by the unit sales price in linear meter;

- Glass Price :m² of the glass is multiplied by the unit sales price in m²;

- Accessory Price : Price of 1 double opening system in the PVC joinery;

- Frame Price : Linear meter of the frame is multiplied by the unit sales price in linear meter;

- Marble Windowsill Price : Length of the windowsill is multiplied by the unit sales price in linear meter;

The sum of these amounts is the total price of the PVC doors and windows.
