These are starting points: whether you compare aluminum window prices or a full facade package, your figure depends on the drawings and specification. For a priced offer, request a quote.
Read by product, the table puts prices for office glass partitions and internal glass walls at SAR 135 to 698/m², a framed or frameless glass shower enclosure at SAR 135 to 695/m², ACP (aluminium composite panel) cladding at SAR 180 to 286/m² and a glass skylight roof at SAR 1,080 to 1,195/m². A curtain wall facade costs SAR 470 to 780 per square metre.
Price ranges for windows, doors and shades
What do aluminium windows cost per m²?
From SAR 325 to 740/m². The profile grade sets the band: economy (1.3 mm) 325–370, standard (1.5 mm) 425–485 and premium (1.8–2 mm) 520–740, the only grade with double glazing and Gulf profiles. There is no fixed list of aluminium window sizes and prices, because there are no standard aluminium window sizes: every window, for a house, a villa or a tower, is made to the size of its opening, and its price is its area in m² times the rate of its grade. The cost of double glazing per window follows the same rule, at the premium rate. A casement aluminium window sits in the same bands as a sliding one, because the opening type moves the price only within its band.
What do aluminium doors cost per m² by type?
By type, aluminium door prices start from SAR 450/m² for a frameless 19 mm toughened glass door, SAR 540/m² for a two-track sliding patio or balcony door (three- and four-track stacking doors from 650 and 740), SAR 655/m² for a cladding-panel (ACP) door and SAR 1,350/m² for an aluminium-framed folding door. Framed doors use a 1.5 mm Saraya profile; the 1.8–2 mm Gulf profile adds 10%. Infill can be aluminium slats, a cladding panel or glass, and the same rates apply to aluminium bathroom doors, also called toilet doors, and to room and main entrance doors: framed hinged doors start at SAR 585/m² and swing doors at SAR 1,035/m². The ACP door price of SAR 655/m² is for the cladding door type; a framed hinged door with a cladding infill keeps the hinged rate.
| Door type | From | Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Frameless 19 mm tempered glass — hinged | SAR 450/m² | No frame |
| Royal sliding — 2 tracks | SAR 540/m² | Aluminium frame |
| Hinged | SAR 585/m² | Aluminium frame |
| Royal sliding — 3 tracks | SAR 650/m² | Aluminium frame |
| Cladding-panel door | SAR 655/m² | Aluminium frame |
| Frameless 19 mm tempered glass — swing | SAR 695/m² | No frame |
| Royal sliding — 4 tracks | SAR 740/m² | Aluminium frame |
| Swing | SAR 1,035/m² | Aluminium frame |
| Folding (bifold) | SAR 1,350/m² | Aluminium frame |
| Frameless automatic sliding | SAR 3,780/m² | No frame |
What do pergolas and car shades cost per m²?
A fixed aluminium pergola or car shade starts from SAR 685/m², and a cantilever one with no front posts from SAR 1,005/m², supply and installation, before VAT, in Makkah. Both are wall-mounted, with a powder-coated aluminium frame and solid aluminium slats. A wood-look frame adds SAR 215/m², the top specification is SAR 1,220/m², and a laminated-glass pergola roof is priced by quote. So is a bioclimatic pergola, whose aluminium louvres turn on an electric motor to let in sun and air or close fully against rain; the motor, the rotating mechanism and the thicker blades make it cost more than a fixed pergola. A 30 m² fixed car shade costs 30 × 685 = SAR 20,550 before VAT.
Glass prices per m²: from shower screens to skylights
Glass work installed by Qusoor Al-Sultan starts from SAR 135/m² for shower glass, SAR 450/m² for a frameless shop front glass door and SAR 1,080/m² for a skylight, before VAT, in Makkah. Double glazed windows cost SAR 585–740/m², and glass railings start from SAR 540 per linear metre.
| Item | Price | Range or options | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glass shower doors and enclosures | From SAR 135/m² | Up to SAR 695/m² | Glass thickness, frame and door type |
| Frameless shop front glass doors (19 mm) | From SAR 450/m² | Swing from SAR 695/m², automatic sliding from SAR 3,780/m² | Opening type and fittings |
| Skylight installation | From SAR 1,080/m² | Up to SAR 1,195/m² | SG 50 grade from 1,145, reflective tint (+36) |
| Double glazed aluminium windows | SAR 585–740/m² | Premium grade only | 1.8–2 mm profile; Low-E by quote |
| Glass railings and balustrades | From SAR 540 per linear metre | Set in the quote | Length of the run |
Do aluminium and glass prices change by city?
Yes, but only for transport and installation. The figures in this guide are for a project in Makkah, where the factory is. Jeddah and Taif add 3%, Madinah 5%, Riyadh and the Eastern Province 8%, and Abha, Tabuk and Qassim 10%. The product itself is priced the same everywhere.
| Region | Uplift | Aluminium windows | Curtain wall | Fixed pergola |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Makkah (factory) | — | SAR 325 | SAR 470 | SAR 685 |
| Jeddah and Taif | +3% | SAR 335 | SAR 484 | SAR 706 |
| Madinah | +5% | SAR 341 | SAR 494 | SAR 719 |
| Riyadh and the Eastern Province | +8% | SAR 351 | SAR 508 | SAR 740 |
| Abha, Tabuk and Qassim | +10% | SAR 358 | SAR 517 | SAR 754 |
What drives the price of aluminium and glass work?
The system comes first, then the area and quantity, the profile and glass specification, the finish, the opening details, the installation scope and the site. Two quotes for the same area can differ widely because of one or two of these items, not because of quality in general.
How do you compare two aluminium quotes?
Compare like with like. Check that both quotes cover the same openings and areas, then compare the profile thickness and brand, the glass, the finish, the hardware, and whether supply, installation and VAT are included. A quote that leaves these items unnamed is cheaper on paper only, because it cannot be compared with one that names them.
- Match the scope The same openings, areas and systems.
- Check the profile Thickness and brand, in writing.
- Check the glass Single or double, tempered or laminated, thickness and tint.
- Check finish and hardware Powder coat or Super Durable; hardware brand and origin.
- Check what is included Supply, installation, VAT, the city uplift, and the indicative lead time in working days from approved shop drawings to handover.
Questions about prices
What does “from” mean in this guide?
It is the lowest price our cost calculator reaches for each system, with the cheapest option picked in every specification group. It is not an average, and not the final price of a particular project.
How do I estimate my project's cost from these figures?
Multiply the opening area in m² (width × height for each opening) by the rate for the right grade, then add 15% VAT. Three economy windows of 1.5 × 1.2 m make 5.4 m², so SAR 1,755 to 1,998 before VAT in Makkah. Outside Makkah add 3% to 10%; small jobs are priced at a 3 m² minimum.
Do the prices include supply and installation?
Yes. Every price here covers supply and installation, before 15% VAT, for a project in Makkah. Low-E glass, manual roller shutters and laminated-glass pergola covers are priced by separate quote.
Why do two quotes for the same area differ?
Because area alone does not set the price: the system, glass, profile, number of pieces, openings, fixing and site access all change it.
How much do double glazed aluminium windows cost?
Double glazed aluminium windows fall in the premium grade, SAR 585–740/m², supply and installation, before VAT, in Makkah, because only the premium 1.8–2 mm profile takes double glazing. The glazing is one of the options that move a window within that range, and Low-E glass is priced by quote.
How much do electric roller shutters cost per m² in Saudi Arabia?
The price of a motorised rolling shutter starts from SAR 360/m² with a German or Chinese motor and from SAR 630/m² with an Italian motor, supply and installation, before VAT, in Makkah. These electric roller shutters run from a wall switch or from a smart remote that adds SAR 270 per shutter. Manual shutters are priced by quote.
How much do slimline aluminium sliding doors cost?
Slimline aluminium sliding doors and windows are priced by quote, as are pivot doors, pocket sliding doors and thermally broken aluminium systems. We supply and install all of them, but none is in the cost calculator, so the quote sets the specification and the price. For comparison, the standard two-track Royal sliding door is priced from SAR 540/m², supply and installation, before VAT, in Makkah.
Does colour change aluminium window prices: do black or white cost more?
No. Black, white and other powder-coat colours cost the same per m². Only Super Durable, a tougher powder coat whose colour lasts longer under strong sun, adds SAR 14/m², and a wood-look finish is priced by quote. The profile grade and the glass move the price far more than the colour does.
When were these figures last updated?
In October 2026. The figures are re-measured every quarter, or sooner when pricing factors change, by running the cost calculator on our Arabic site with the cheapest option in every group, rather than by copying a base rate that the options would push up or down.
