Aluluxgroup.com Pricing

Aluluxgroup.com provides a relatively transparent pricing structure for its standard product configurations directly on its homepage, which is a commendable approach in the often-opaque world of custom glazing.

This upfront pricing allows potential customers to quickly gauge if the products fit within their budget before deeper engagement.

Standard Product Pricing

The website lists specific price ranges for its main bifold door series:

• T1 Series (Non-PAS 24 Compliant):

  • T1: £1590 – £2190 EXCLUDING VAT for a 3-panel system (3000mm wide x 2100mm high).
  • T2: £1490 – £2090 EXCLUDING VAT for a 3-panel system (2400mm wide x 2100mm high).
  • T3: £1890 – £2890 EXCLUDING VAT for a 4-panel system (4000mm wide x 2100mm high).
  • T4: £2250 – £3370 EXCLUDING VAT for a 5-panel system (5000mm wide x 2100mm high).
  • Note: The higher price within each range typically applies if integrated blinds are selected.

• REFD77 Series (PAS 24 Compliant):

  • P1: £1900 – £2500 EXCLUDING VAT for a 3-panel system (3000mm wide x 2100mm high).
  • P2: £1800 – £2400 EXCLUDING VAT for a 3-panel system (2400mm wide x 2100mm high).
  • P3: £2500 – £3500 EXCLUDING VAT for a 4-panel system (4000mm wide x 2100mm high).
  • Note: Similar to the T-series, the higher price likely accounts for integrated blinds.

Custom Measurements and Trade Pricing

For bespoke custom measurements, customers are directed to fill out a contact form.

This is standard practice, as custom dimensions require individual quotes based on material usage, design complexity, and engineering requirements. Aluluxgroup.com Products and Services

They also mention “View our trade pricing HERE,” with a link to a PDF brochure (ALULUX-TRADE-Bifold-Brochure-UPDATED.pdf). This indicates that they cater to both individual homeowners and trade professionals (builders, architects, developers), with potentially different pricing structures for bulk orders.

Add-on Costs

• Integrated Blinds: Explicitly stated to increase the price for both T-series and P-series bifold doors.
• Bug Screens: Priced at £80 per square meter, plus VAT. A discounted rate of £70 per square meter plus VAT is offered when fitted alongside their T1, T2, T3, or T4 sliding door systems.

Delivery and Promotions

Aluluxgroup.com offers “Delivery anywhere in the UK” for their products.

At the time of review, there was a “LIMITED TIME OFFER! SAVE £50 ON DELIVERY USE CODE: DELIVERY50,” indicating that delivery typically incurs a cost that can be significant for large items like bifold doors.

Payment Flexibility (With Ethical Concerns)

The website prominently features a partnership with Klarna, allowing customers to “split the cost of your order into manageable instalments — interest-free and hassle-free.” While this might seem appealing for budget management, it warrants serious ethical consideration.

Klarna, like other Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, operates on principles that often involve interest-based credit or fees for late payments, which are impermissible in Islamic finance (riba). Even if an initial period is “interest-free,” the underlying mechanism often relies on interest or penalties. Understanding PAS 24 / Part Q Compliance

A report by Forbes in 2023 highlighted that while BNPL can offer convenience, consumers should be wary of accumulating debt and the potential for credit score impact if payments are missed, and that the financial model of these services is built on the premise of either merchant fees or consumer interest/penalties.

Therefore, for those adhering to Islamic financial principles, this payment option is problematic and should be avoided.

Cash, direct bank transfers, or seeking genuinely interest-free loans from permissible sources would be the appropriate alternatives.
