New front door installation in Ireland starts from €1800 plus VAT for supply and installation of a single triple glazed Composite Door to €3600 plus VAT for a triple glazed Composite Door and two adjoining side-screens with matching glass design throughout. This the most popular front door product choice as it provides excellent thermal efficiency and security while transforming the look of the home.

Aluminium front doors are becoming more popular but tend to range in price from €3500 plus VAT to €7500 plus VAT. Only the more expensive aluminium doors achieve energy ratings closer to Composite Doors.

Wooden front doors typically range in price from €3200 plus VAT to €6500 plus VAT but hey have the disadvantage of requiring a lot more maintenance.

Composite Doors offer the best value to our customer in Dublin and surrounding counties as they combine the premium appearance of wood with almost zero maintenance (apart from the locking mechanism benefits from being oiled annually), superior insulation and multi-point locking mechanisms as well as high security key cylinders. Composite front door installations typically take a day and they carry a 12-year guarantee covering the door and the workmanship.

Yes, triple glazed windows are worth it for Irish homes particularly in the north facing aspect of homes that don’t benefit from direct natural sunlight. 5 years ago, 90% of windows installed by Airtight window systems were double glazed versus 10% triple glazed. Nowadays, there is a 50/50 split between double and triple glazing and we expect triple glazing to overtake double glazing very soon. Typically, triple glazing costs 20% more than double glazing but some of that money will be clawed back over time through reduced heating costs. A triple glazed “A” Rated window is 25% more energy efficient than a double glazed “A” Rated window.

Benefits for Dublin households:

• Better heat retention during Ireland cold, damp winters
• Reduced condensation (common issue in Irish homes)
• Superior noise reduction (ideal for properties near busy Dublin roads)
• Higher home resale value (buyers increasingly expect A-rated windows)
• Lower carbon footprint (important for BER ratings)

Generally, no planning permission is required to replace windows in Dublin if you’re replacing like-for-like (same size, style, and position). However, planning permission may be required for protected structures, buildings in Architectural Conservation Areas (ACAs), or if you’re significantly changing window size, style, or adding new window openings.

Our window replacement process is designed for minimal disruption and maximum transparency:

Step 1: Free In-Home Consultation (30-60 minutes)
A member of our sales team visits your home to take basic window and door measurements and discuss your preferences (style, colour, functionality) and answer any questions. No pressure, no obligation.

Step 2: Detailed Quote
You receive a comprehensive quote including window specifications, installation timeline, total cost breakdown, and warranty details. We also provide a free energy audit showing projected heating bill savings.

Step 3: Order & Manufacturing (3-4 weeks to 6-8 weeks)
Once you approve the quote, windows are custom-manufactured to your exact measurements using premium UPVC, composite, or aluminum materials with A-rated energy efficiency.

Step 4: Professional Installation (1-3 days)
Our experienced installers arrive on schedule to begin the installation. A fitting plan is agreed with the householder bearing in mind that we want to minimise disruption to home life as much as possible and this has become more important as more people work from home. Installation includes removal and safe disposal of the old windows/doors, frame preparation, precise fitting, all associated plasterwork and perimeter sealing.

Step 5: Final Inspection
We conduct a thorough inspection with you and demonstrate how to use the doors/windows and handover spare keys for the doors. Care for the home we are working in is of utmost importance to us and thankfully, our fitters are regularly complimented for the spotless condition that they leave houses in.

UPVC windows last 20-35 years in Ireland with minimal maintenance, making them excellent long-term value. The lifespan depends on quality (budget vs. premium materials), installation quality, exposure to weather, and basic maintenance. uPVC can also be recycled at the end of their lifespan to maximise sustainability.
