Windows shape the building envelope, thermal insulation, and appearance – their profiles are predominantly extruded from rigid PVC. The material price is a central cost driver here.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Window profiles are extruded in large series; price movements in the PVC polymer and in the compounds used feed straight through to production costs.
High material share: the PVC profile determines the bulk of the cost per linear metre – even small price changes add up across the production volume.
Compounds and secondary material: alongside virgin material, rigid PVC compounds and PVC secondary material are used in the profile core – their prices develop in different directions.
A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes tenders and budgets more robust over longer project timelines.



From procurement to sales: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks the price trend for PVC polymer and compounds, benchmarks the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses profile design, secondary material content and compound specifications in terms of cost and calculates the effect of price movements on the product portfolio.
Keeps the material cost base in view, identifies margin risks at an early stage and bases strategic decisions on dependable market data.

For windows, rigid PVC (PVC-U) is the decisive material: the profiles are extruded from the suspension polymer and from the dry blends and compounds produced from it. Flexible PVC is used for seals, while PVC secondary material goes into the co-extruded profile core.
