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. 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's 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.

Yes, we have been fitting "A" Rated windows for the past 10-15 years so they are now an assumed part of our standard product offering. Even a double-glazed A-rated window can reduce heat loss by 40% compared to older single glazing and further improvements in heat retention can be made by opting for triple glazing. This additional heat retention contributes to reduced energy bills and increased comfort in the home.

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.
