Why Window Prices Vary – and Why There Is No Fixed Price per m²

Premium windows are not standardized commodities. Even when two windows have the same dimensions, their final price can differ significantly depending on specification, performance requirements, design choices, currency fluctuations, and installation conditions.

For this reason, quoting a fixed price per square meter is often misleading and we strongly recommend to contact us for project specific prices.

Already High Performance

Standard Specification

Unlike many locally produced systems, DESCH basic windows already include insulated double glazing as standard, featuring:

Multi-Chamber profiles with strong reinforcement
Low-E coating for heat reflection and UV protection
Argon gas filling for improved insulation
German Tilt & Turn hardware

This means even our entry-level systems are designed for:

Reduced heat gain in tropical climates
Improved indoor comfort
Lower energy consumption
Better acoustic performance compared to single glass or basic double glazing

A Simple Price Comparison

A basic window may start araund IDR 2.5-2.8 Jt per m² when specified as:

White UPVC Frame
Fixed (non-opening) configuration
Insulated double glazing (Low-E + Argon) included
Standard hardware
No decorative or acoustic upgrades

However, a window of the same size can cost several times more when specified with:

Wood decor or premium color finishes
Tilt & Turn, sliding, or large-format opening systems
High-performance acoustic glazing
Laminated glazing
Triple glazing for maximum insulation
Decorative Muntins or grills
Reinforced profiles for oversized elements
Advanced security hardware and accessories

In these cases, the window becomes a high-performance architectural system, not a basic construction element.

Optional Performance Upgrades

Depending on project requirements, windows can be further upgraded with:

Sun-protective glass to reduce solar heat gain
Enhanced soundproof glazing for busy urban locations
Triple glazing for maximum thermal performance

This means even our entry-level systems are designed for:

Reduced heat gain in tropical climates
Improved indoor comfort
Lower energy consumption
Better acoustic performance compared to single glass or basic double glazing

Long-term durability

Installation Cost –
Why Location Matters

Installation costs vary depending on region, logistics, access, and site conditions.

Jakarta & Greater Jakarta Area (Banten)
Menteng, Kemang, Pondok Indah, Puri Indah, PIK, PIK 2, BSD City, Tangerang, Tangerang Selatan
→ Typically the most cost-efficient installation
Bandung
→ Slightly higher costs due to transport
Surabaya
→ Higher logistics and accommodation cost.
Bali, Palembang, Makassar
Jimbaran, Canggu, Denpasar, Seminyak, Kuta, Uluwatu, Sanur, Ubud
→ Generally higher installation costs due to island logistics and premium project requirements

Why “Price per m²” is Misleading

A flat price per square meter does not account for:

Opening mechanisms and hardware complexity
Glazing technology and acoustic requirements
Structural reinforcements
Decorative and security features

For this reason, DESCH does not sell windows by the square meter. We deliver engineered solutions, individually calculated per project.

Exchange Rate (EUR – IDR)
and Tax Considerations

All DESCH window and door systems are 100% imported from Europe. As a result, pricing is directly influenced by the EUR–IDR exchange rate at the time of ordering.

For transparency, all quotations are calculated using the current exchange rate, including all import and sales taxes (approx. 45%) and fees, ensuring accurate and fair pricing at the time of confirmation.
