Most “uPVC door prices” you find online are UK figures or supply-only quotes with no fitting, no disposal and no VAT clarity. After fitting doors across Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow since 2003 — over 5,247 homes — here is the honest 2026 price guide: what each uPVC door type actually costs supplied and fitted, what moves the price up or down, and where the SEAI grant knocks €800 off.
The short answer: Fitted uPVC door prices in Ireland for 2026: front doors from €1,800 + VAT, back doors from €1,400, French doors from €1,800, and uPVC sliding patio doors €1,800–€2,400 (aluminium lift-and-slide €4,000+). Every price includes survey, fitting, old-door disposal and making good. The SEAI grant pays €800 back per door (maximum two) on qualifying pre-2011 homes.
How much do uPVC doors cost in Ireland in 2026?
All figures below are our real fitted prices — supply, installation by our own employed team, removal and disposal of the old door, and making good the reveals inside and out:
| Door type | Fitted price from (ex VAT) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| uPVC front door | €1,800 | Multi-point locking, PAS 24 spec |
| uPVC back door | €1,400 | Half-glazed or full panel |
| uPVC French doors | €1,800 | Pair of doors, 10-point locking |
| uPVC sliding patio door | €1,800–€2,400 | 2-panel white ~€1,800; 3-panel coloured ~€2,400 |
| Aluminium lift & slide | €4,000–€8,000+ | Wide openings, up to 6m spans |
What affects the price?
- Size and configuration: oversized openings, sidelights and top-lights add glass, frame and labour.
- Colour and finish: white is the standard; anthracite grey and woodgrain foils typically add €100–€200 per door.
- Glazing: decorative and privacy glass panels, triple glazing, and laminated or acoustic glass all move the figure.
- Hardware: standard multi-point locking is included; premium handles, letterboxes and smart locks cost extra.
- Structural work: widening an opening (e.g. swapping a back door and window for French doors) needs a lintel — quoted separately after survey.
uPVC vs composite — is the upgrade worth it?
A composite door (we fit Palladio and APEER) starts at the same €1,800 entry point as uPVC, but like-for-like styles land €600–€800 higher — most composite installs with glazing panels or premium colours come in at €2,000–€2,400, where the equivalent uPVC door sits nearer €1,800. For that premium you get a heavier, more solid-feeling door, deeper timber-effect grain, and a 12-year manufacturer guarantee. Honest advice: for a back door or a budget-conscious replacement, A-rated uPVC is the smart spend; for the front door you touch every day and see from the kerb, composite is worth the upgrade if the budget stretches.

The SEAI door grant — €800 back per door
A-rated replacement doors qualify for the SEAI grant of €800 per door, maximum two per home, on houses built before 2011 — uPVC and composite alike. Combined with the windows grant, a detached home can claim up to €5,600 in total. You apply to SEAI yourself before work starts (five minutes online — see our step-by-step application guide), and amounts by home type are in the grant amounts table.
The bottom line
Budget €1,400–€2,400 + VAT per uPVC door fitted depending on type, then subtract €800 per door where the SEAI grant applies. Compare fitted quotes, not supply-only stickers — and if the front door budget stretches, price composite alongside before you decide. Full range on uPVC doors Dublin and pricing & ordering.
