How much do timber windows cost in Malta?
There is no useful single price for a timber window because the final cost depends on size, opening configuration, glazing, timber, finish, hardware and transport.
What can lower the price?
- Smaller openings
- More fixed glazing and fewer opening sashes
- Simpler opening arrangements
- Double glazing packages
What can increase the price?
- Oak or other premium timber
- Larger windows or doors
- More opening sashes
- French or decorative glazing bars
- Acoustic, safety or solar-control glazing
- Bespoke shapes or unusual configurations
- Special colours or finishes
- Enhanced hardware or security requirements
Pine or oak: how much difference does timber choice make?
Engineered pine provides the lower-cost route into a high-performance timber window system. Oak is available for customers who prefer its appearance, material character or project specification, but it increases the price.
Is triple glazing included?
Yes, the example above assumes triple glazing. The exact glazing build-up can vary according to the project. Options can include Low-E coatings, Argon-filled cavities, solar-control glass, laminated safety glass and acoustic specifications.
Is installation included?
No. The €6,500–€7,500 example is for manufacture and typical consolidated delivery to Malta, including VAT.
Supply only pricing: Installation, dismantling existing windows, disposal, lifting, cranes, plaster repairs and finishing works are excluded. Keeping supply and installation separate makes it easier for homeowners, architects and contractors to compare the actual window specification before selecting an installer.
Why do we publish a guide price?
Timber windows are a significant purchase and perceived as expensive compared to Aluminium and uPVC. We think customers should be able to understand the likely budget before spending time collecting exact measurements, architectural drawings or arranging a detailed quotation.
Our guide prices are intended to answer the first question quickly: is a quality engineered timber solution realistic for my project and budget?
Once it is, we can refine the project using actual dimensions, photographs, drawings and specification choices.
What information do I need for a more accurate estimate?
Useful information includes:
- Rough number of windows and doors
- Approximate sizes, if known
- Photos of the property or existing openings
- Any drawings already available
If exact measurements are not yet available, we can still begin with approximate sizes and clearly state the assumptions used.
Timber Window Pricing FAQs
Transparent answers to the most common questions about timber window quotes, breakdowns, and lifecycle costs:
Why are window supply and installation quoted separately?
Separating supply from fitting ensures full transparency. You pay directly for the exact aperture specification (timber grade, glazing build-up, and European hardware) without hidden markups, and you can freely choose your preferred local installer, builder, or carpenter for site fitting.
Can I replace just the glass units rather than the whole timber frame?
If your existing timber frames are structurally sound, square, and deep enough (at least 68 mm) to accept modern double or triple glazing, replacing sealed glass units is possible. However, if older frames lack perimeter compression seals, have decayed joints, or are single-glazed sashes, a full frame replacement delivers far superior acoustic and thermal results.
What additional on-site costs should I budget for during replacement?
Beyond the window supply price, factor in: removal and disposal of old apertures, site lifting or cranes for high floors, structural lintel inspections in older masonry, and making good internal plaster and paint finishes around the reveal.
How does the price of timber windows compare over a 30- to 60-year lifespan?
While timber has a higher initial upfront cost than basic uPVC or non-thermally broken aluminium, its 60+ year lifespan, repairability, and refinishing potential yield a lower annualized cost of ownership, while substantially increasing period property resale value.
