Aluminium Profiles Price Guide β Rwanda 2026
Planning a construction project in Rwanda? One of the first questions contractors and homeowners ask is: how much do aluminium profiles cost in Kigali? This guide gives you a clear picture of current market prices so you can budget accurately.
What Are Aluminium Profiles?
Aluminium profiles (also called aluminium extrusions) are shaped aluminium bars used as the structural frames for windows, doors, curtain walls, partitions, and shopfronts. The most common alloy grade in Rwanda is 6063-T5, which offers an excellent balance of strength, workability, and corrosion resistance.

Factors That Affect Aluminium Profile Prices
- Alloy Grade: T6 temper profiles cost more than T5 due to higher strength treatment. For curtain walls and structural applications, always specify T6.
- Surface Finish: Mill finish is cheapest. Anodized adds 15β25%. Powder-coated adds 20β40% but gives the best appearance and protection.
- Profile Weight (kg/m): Heavier, thicker profiles cost more. Always compare price per kg, not per meter, when comparing suppliers.
- Quantity: Bulk orders of 100+ bars typically attract 10β20% discounts.
- Custom vs Standard: Standard stock profiles cost less than custom extrusions which require a minimum order quantity.
How to Calculate Your Project's Aluminium Cost
For a simple window installation:
- Measure the perimeter of each window opening (width + height Γ 2)
- Add 10% waste factor for cuts and joins
- Multiply total meters by the profile price
- Add accessories: glass, gaskets, handles, hinges
Example: 10 windows of 1.2m Γ 1.0m = 10 Γ (1.2 + 1.0) Γ 2 = 44 meters + 10% = ~48 meters. At RWF 15,000/m = RWF 720,000 for profiles alone.
