Kildare is a county of two halves when it comes to housing stock - and that matters when you replace your windows. The North Kildare commuter belt around Maynooth, Leixlip, Celbridge and Kilcock is dominated by 1990s and 2000s estate homes that were built with builder-grade double glazing. Two decades on, those frames have lost their gas seals, the gaskets have hardened, and the rooms facing the prevailing south-westerly wind off the Curragh feel cold long before the rest of the house. Replacing with modern A-rated uPVC casement windows typically cuts heat loss by 40 percent compared with the original units.
South Kildare is a different brief. Naas, Newbridge, Athy and Kildare Town have a much wider mix - period red-brick on the Friary Road in Naas, dormer bungalows out around the Curragh, and detached homes along the Newbridge to Kildare corridor. For period homes we usually recommend flush sash uPVC, which sits inside the outer frame and reads as timber from the kerb. For exposed sites we step up to triple glazing, especially on west-facing elevations where the wind picks up across the plains.
