Glazing & Aluminium in Malta

Apertures are usually the largest single line in a Malta fit-out budget, and the one where the gap between tiers is widest. On our own rate card the same square metre of floor area carries anywhere from €78 to €300 of aperture cost depending on specification — a bigger spread than any other trade.

They are also long-lead. An aluminium system ordered late is one of the few things that can hold up a whole programme on its own, which is why the specification decision belongs early rather than when the walls are ready.

What this covers

• Aluminium windows and doors, thermally broken systems available
• Sliding and lift-and-slide systems for terraces and openings
• Glass balustrades for balconies, stairs and terraces
• Shower screens and internal glazing
• Survey, manufacture lead time and installation planned into the programme

What it costs

This is the line that moves a budget more than any other, and it is in the calculator as external doors and windows. The calculator uses €78 to €300 per m² of floor area depending on the finish tier — the same figures it uses for a whole-project budget, because there is only one rate card.

How it works

We survey every job ourselves, free. Then we either take it on as your contractor — we quote a fixed price, bring in the aperture specialists from the CheckYourTraders-verified network and manage the sequencing around every other trade on site — or introduce a vetted partner contractor who quotes and contracts with you directly. Either way you have one point of contact with us from survey to handover.

Questions people ask

Why is it priced on floor area rather than per window?

Because at budget stage nobody knows the window schedule yet. Floor area is a reasonable proxy across a whole property, and it is what the calculator can honestly work with before a survey. The quote after the survey is per aperture.

What actually changes between the tiers?

Profile system and thermal performance, glazing specification, the size and weight of what the system can carry, and the ironmongery. The visual difference at the top end is mostly slimmer sightlines and much larger single panes.

How long is the lead time?

Long enough that it needs deciding early — it is the item most likely to hold a programme up if it is left late. The exact lead time depends on the system and is confirmed at quote, not estimated here.
