They are suitable for replacing existing timber sash sliders in period buildings while still appealing to new builds seeking to capture a traditional feel. Manufactured from uPVC, they are strong and will not rot, warp or require repainting ensuring that they retain their colour and shape throughout the years with minimum maintenance. The traditional style can be enhanced by adding Georgian or Astrical bars and decorative sash horns. They are available in White, Light Oak, Cream and Black.

Why are sliding sash windows popular for Dublin period homes?

Sliding windows are an excellent choice for anyone looking for an updated or new look in their home. They come in many different styles and sizes, so they can be tailored to fit any home décor. Moreover, sliding windows are an excellent choice for anyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors without going outside. Sliding sash windows remain the most authentic choice for Dublin’s Georgian and Victorian properties, combining period aesthetics with modern performance.

Architectural Authenticity

Dublin’s terraced homes were built with vertical sliding sash windows from the 1700s onwards. Modern uPVC versions replicate the exact proportions, sightlines, and detailing of original timber windows — essential for conservation areas and Protected Structures across Dublin 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Energy Efficiency for Period Homes

Original single-glazed timber sash windows account for up to 25% of heat loss in Dublin period properties. Our A-rated uPVC sash windows with Argon-filled double glazing reduce this dramatically: 

  • U-value of 1.2 W/m²K (vs. 5.0+ for original timber) 
  • Cuts heating bills by up to 40% 
  • Eliminates draughts while maintaining period character

Low Maintenance

Unlike timber sash windows requiring painting every 3-5 years, uPVC frames: 

  • Never rot, warp, or swell 
  • Retain color and finish for 20+ years 
  • Require only occasional cleaning with soap and water 
  • No annual maintenance costs

Easy Cleaning

Due to its nature, there are no complicated moving parts in a sliding window that other types of windows have. Both sashes tilt inward for safe cleaning from inside — crucial for Dublin’s upper-floor period properties where external access is difficult or impossible.

Our modern uPVC windows are designed for convenience, featuring sashes that both tilt inward for safe, easy cleaning from inside your home. To clean them, simply unlock the tilt latches on each sash—a process we will demonstrate during your installation—and tilt the top sash inward to reach the exterior glass while standing safely inside. You then repeat the process for the bottom sash. We recommend using warm soapy water and a microfiber cloth, avoiding any abrasive cleaners on the uPVC frames. This system completely removes the need for ladders, making it an ideal solution for Dublin’s multi-story period properties.

Every Airtight sliding sash window installation is backed by comprehensive protection for your peace of mind. We provide a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee covering uPVC frames, hardware, and all locking mechanisms, alongside a 10-year manufacturer’s glass seal guarantee against condensation forming between panes. Furthermore, we offer a lifetime guarantee against discoloration on white uPVC and a 20+ year guarantee on colored finishes.

Yes, our uPVC sliding sash windows are specifically engineered to replicate Victorian and Georgian aesthetics, making them suitable for many of Dublin’s conservation areas and Protected Structures. These windows feature authentic sash horn profiles, Georgian glazing bars sealed within the units, and traditional proportions that match original timber windows. With slim 67mm frame depths and period-appropriate color finishes like Cream or Light Oak, our products respect the heritage of areas like Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square. Owen frequently works with local conservation officers and can provide the detailed specifications required for planning applications.

The timeline for a typical Dublin home begins with a survey and quote provided within 24 hours of your initial enquiry. Once ordered, your custom-made windows are manufactured over a period of 4 to 6 weeks. The actual installation usually takes just 1 to 2 days for an average semi-detached home consisting of 6 to 8 windows. We work room by room to minimize disruption, protecting your furniture and floors throughout the process. By the end of the day, your old windows will be removed and your new, fully functioning frames will be sealed, finished, and cleaned.

We provide expert installation services throughout the entire Dublin region and its surrounding counties, including Kildare, Meath, and Wicklow. In South Dublin, we frequently work in Rathmines, Ranelagh, Terenure, and Blackrock, while our North Dublin projects often take us to Clontarf, Drumcondra, and Castleknock. Whether you own a Georgian terrace in Dublin 2 or 4, or a period property in Raheny, Owen’s 23 years of local experience ensures he understands the specific architectural needs of your neighborhood.

Yes, our sliding sash frames are designed to accommodate both double and triple glazing options. Triple glazing offers approximately 25% better energy efficiency than double glazing and provides superior noise reduction, which is a major benefit for homes located near busy Dublin roads. While triple glazing adds roughly €150–€200 per window, many homeowners find it to be a worthwhile investment for north-facing reception rooms or bedrooms where maximum thermal performance and quiet are priorities. Owen can advise you on the best configuration for your home’s orientation during your free survey.

While we specialize in the installation of new A-rated uPVC sliding sash windows rather than timber repairs, Airtight can assess the condition of your existing frames during a free survey. Full replacement is usually the most cost-effective long-term strategy if your timber frames show signs of rot, if single glazing is leading to high heating bills, or if the original cords and pulleys are failing. Modern uPVC sash windows offer significantly better energy efficiency and security than aging timber, though we are happy to recommend specialist timber restoration partners if you prefer a refurbishment over a modern upgrade.
