Wholesale Pricing for Windows and Doors from China

A wholesaler quote for windows and doors splits into two price families. Windows are priced by frame series plus glass build; doors carry a hardware surcharge because hinges, multi-point locks and rollers cost more than window handles. The tables below are FOB Foshan reference bands for anodized or powder coated thermally broken frames, standard colors, ex-works packing in plywood crates. For sliding-window-specific numbers see the sliding windows wholesale price list.

Window Price Bands by Configuration

Window Type	Glass Build	U-Value (W/m2K)	FOB Price (US$/m2)
Casement, non-thermal-break 50 series	5 mm + 12A + 5 mm	3.0	85 – 110
Casement, thermal-break 60 series	5LowE + 12A + 5	2.2	120 – 155
Casement, thermal-break 70 series	5LowE + 12Ar + 5 + 12Ar + 5LowE (triple)	1.4	185 – 240
Sliding, thermal-break 80 series	5LowE + 12A + 5	2.4	110 – 145
Tilt-turn, thermal-break 65 series	5LowE + 12A + 5	1.8	150 – 195
Passive-house 90 series	triple glazed, warm edge, argon	0.9 – 1.0	250 – 310

Volume Discount Ladder

Order Volume (m2, mixed windows + doors)	Discount on List FOB	Payment Terms	Free Spare Parts
100 – 300	list price	30% deposit / 70% against B/L copy	0.5% of hardware value
300 – 800	-3%	30/70 or LC at sight	1% of hardware value
800 – 2,000	-5%	20/80 with credit insurance	2% + one spare sash set
> 2,000 (annual frame agreement)	-7 to -9%	negotiated quarterly	2% + dedicated stock of gaskets

Price bands above exclude marine paint upgrade (coastal C4/C5 environments add US$6-9/m2), fly screens (US$8-14/m2) and laminated glass upgrades. Freight to a main Australian or European port adds roughly US$18-32/m2 of glazing at current 40HQ rates.

Aluminum Window Frame Systems: Alloy, Wall Thickness and Thermal Break

The aluminum window frame determines 60-70% of a finished window’s performance: structural stiffness comes from alloy temper and wall thickness; thermal performance comes from the polyamide strip width and cavity design. ROGENILAN extrudes in Foshan on 6063-series billets with in-house aging ovens, so temper is verified per batch rather than per certificate copy. Casement-specific frame data is also published on the casement windows factory page.

6063-T5 vs 6063-T6 Mechanical Data

Property	6063-T5	6063-T6
Tensile strength (MPa)	>= 160	>= 205
Yield strength (MPa)	>= 110	>= 170
Elongation (%)	>= 8	>= 8
Hardness (HW)	>= 8	>= 10
Typical use	standard windows, sliding doors	large folding doors, curtain wall mullions

Frame Series and Thermal Break Strip Widths

Frame Series	Frame Depth (mm)	Wall Thickness (mm)	PA66GF25 Strip (mm)	Target U-Frame (W/m2K)
50 non-thermal-break	50	1.4	none	5.5 – 6.5
60 thermal-break	60	1.4 / 1.6	14.8	2.6 – 3.2
65 tilt-turn	65	1.6 / 1.8	20	2.0 – 2.6
70 casement	70	1.8	24	1.6 – 2.2
80 sliding	80 (2-track)	1.6 / 2.0	20	2.4 – 3.0
90 passive-house	90	2.0 / 2.2	34 + foam insert	1.0 – 1.3

Surface Treatment Parameters

Powder coating: AkzoNobel or Jotun polyester powder, film thickness 60-80 micron (C3 environment), 80-120 micron marine grade (C4/C5), salt spray tested 1,000 h to ISO 9227 with no blistering beyond 1 mm from scribe.
Anodizing: AA15 (15 micron) standard silver or champagne, AA20/AA25 for coastal projects; sealing quality checked by admittance test per EN 12373.
PVDF (fluorocarbon) spray: 2-coat system >= 30 micron or 3-coat >= 40 micron, AAMA 2605 compliant, 20-year color retention warranty available for distributors.
Wood grain sublimation: base powder coat 60 micron plus wood-effect transfer film, used for villa and heritage renovation orders.

Double Glazed Aluminium Windows: Standard Build Data

Double glazed aluminium windows remain the volume product of any wholesale program: roughly 80% of export orders specify a two-pane IGU. The performance spread inside ‘double glazing’ is wide, so every quotation should state glass make-up, cavity gas, spacer type and coating position rather than just ‘double glazed’.

IGU Configurations and Whole-Window U-Values

IGU Build	Spacer	Gas	Ug (W/m2K)	Whole Window Uw, 70 series (W/m2K)
5 + 12A + 5 clear	aluminum	air	2.8	3.0
5LowE + 12A + 5	aluminum	air	1.8	2.2
5LowE + 12Ar + 5	warm edge	argon	1.4	1.8
5LowE + 16Ar + 5	warm edge	argon	1.2	1.6
5LowE + 12A + 5 laminated	warm edge	air	1.7	2.1

Acoustic and Solar Data for Double Glazed Builds

IGU Build	Rw (dB)	SHGC (g-value)	Light Transmission
5 + 12A + 5 clear	30	0.72	0.81
5LowE + 12A + 5	31	0.60	0.78
6 + 12A + 5 laminated (0.76 PVB)	36	0.58	0.75
6 + 12A + 5 laminated acoustic (1.52 PVB)	39	0.56	0.73
8 + 16A + 6 laminated acoustic	42	0.52	0.68

For street-facing bedrooms and hotel projects, specify the acoustic laminated builds: moving from Rw 31 to Rw 39 dB cuts perceived traffic loudness by roughly half. The surcharge is US$18-26/m2 of glass – cheaper than any after-installation retrofit.

Triple Glazed Aluminium Windows vs Double Glazed: Measured Comparison

Triple glazed aluminium windows add one pane, one cavity and roughly 10 kg/m2 of glass weight. The upgrade is justified by climate and energy price, not by catalogue language. The comparison below uses the same 70-series casement frame so the glass is the only variable.

Same-Frame Comparison Table

Metric	Double: 5LowE+12Ar+5 warm edge	Triple: 5LowE+12Ar+5+12Ar+5LowE
Ug (W/m2K)	1.4	0.7
Whole window Uw (W/m2K)	1.8	1.4
Glass weight (kg/m2)	20	30
Rw acoustic (dB)	32	35
SHGC	0.58	0.50
FOB surcharge (US$/m2)	baseline	+35 – 48
Hinge hardware class	80 kg standard	120-130 kg reinforced

When the Triple Glazed Upgrade Pays Back

Heating-dominated climates (Canada, northern US, Scandinavia, northern China, alpine Australia/New Zealand): at Uw 1.4 vs 1.8 and 3,500 heating degree days, a 200 m2 house glazing package saves roughly 1,100-1,500 kWh of heat per year – a 6-9 year payback at US$0.12/kWh.
Passive-house and near-zero-energy projects: triple glazing with Uw <= 1.0 (90 series, 34 mm strip) is a certification prerequisite, not an option.
Cold-side condensation control: inner pane surface temperature stays 4-6 C higher with triple build, removing condensation at -10 C outdoor / 50% indoor humidity where double glazed low-e starts to mist.
Skip the upgrade for cooling-dominated tropical projects: spend the budget on solar-control low-e (SHGC <= 0.35) double glazing instead - lower g-value beats lower U-value when the load is solar gain.

Mixed villa package (typical)	one 40HQ covers 3-4 townhouses	280 – 310

Installation Tolerances, Sealing and Site Data

Opening Tolerances and Fixing

Structural opening: frame size + 15-20 mm perimeter gap; opening must be plumb within 3 mm per meter.
Fixing: galvanized steel brackets or frame anchors at <= 600 mm centers, maximum 150 mm from corners; large sliding and folding doors fixed at <= 400 mm centers on the head track.
Sill support: continuous setting blocks at quarter points, never point-supported only at corners; sill slope minimum 5 degrees with end-dammed drainage.

Three-Layer Waterproofing Sequence

Layer 1 (interior air seal): low-expansion PU foam or pre-compressed tape, tooled flat – this layer carries the airtightness class.
Layer 2 (drainage plane): butyl flashing tape lapped sill-to-jamb-to-head with sill pan; never reverse-lap the head flashing.
Layer 3 (exterior weather seal): neutral-cure silicone (ASTM C920 Class 25) 8-10 mm joint, backer rod at 50% compression.
Commissioning: operate every sash 20 cycles, adjust hinge friction and lock keeps, water-test one random unit per elevation with a hose at 0.2 MPa for 15 minutes.

Project Case: 48 Townhouses in Perth, Australia

Scope and Configuration

A developer building 48 two-storey townhouses in Perth’s northern corridor specified one supplier for the full fenestration package: 612 casement and sliding windows (70 and 80 series, 5LowE+12Ar+5 warm edge, Uw 1.8), 96 sliding patio doors and 48 glazed entrance doors. Total glazed area 4,860 m2 across 14 x 40HQ containers.

Landed Cost Comparison

Cost Line	Local Supply (AU fabricator)	ROGENILAN China Landed	Delta
Product ex-works / ex-factory	US$ 1,214,000	US$ 731,000	-40%
Freight + insurance (14 x 40HQ)	–	US$ 46,000	–
Duty (ChAFTA 0%) + GST handling	–	US$ 12,500	–
Local installation	included	US$ 118,000	–
Total project fenestration	US$ 1,214,000	US$ 907,500	-25.2%

AS 2047 N4 test evidence and AS/NZS 2208 Grade A glazing certificates were submitted with the building permit; site audits passed without rework. Door hardware data matched the published sliding door export specs and the entrance units used the same multi-point lock family as the French door manufacturer page.
