When it comes to choosing high-quality aluminum doors and windows, the 1.8mm thermal break option has become increasingly popular among homeowners and builders alike. But one question that always comes up is: how much does it actually cost per square meter? The answer isn't as straightforward as you might think, as several factors come into play.
Before we dive into pricing, it's important to understand why this particular specification stands out. The 1.8mm thickness refers to the wall thickness of the aluminum profile, which offers an excellent balance between strength and weight. The thermal break technology involves inserting a polyamide strip between the inner and outer aluminum frames, significantly reducing heat transfer.
At APEX ALUMINUM, we've found that this combination delivers:
The price per square meter for 1.8mm thermal break aluminum doors and windows can vary significantly based on several key factors:
Not all aluminum profiles are created equal. Premium brands like APEX ALUMINUM use high-grade aluminum alloys and precision engineering that justify a higher price point. Cheaper alternatives might save you money upfront but could lead to performance issues down the line.
The type of glass you choose dramatically affects the total cost. Options include:
High-quality hinges, handles, and locking mechanisms from reputable manufacturers can add 15-25% to the base price but significantly improve security and longevity.

Over a 10-year period, the energy savings alone can offset 30-40% of the initial cost difference compared to standard aluminum windows.
