A new composite front door in Athy starts from €1,800 plus VAT for a single door, rising to €3,600 plus VAT depending on the style, glass design, and any adjoining side panels. Our Palladio Composite doors are manufactured in Ireland, come with a 12-year guarantee, and are available in 20+ colours — making them a popular choice for homeowners throughout Athy looking to upgrade both kerb appeal and security in one go.

Yes — triple glazed windows deliver clear benefits for Athy homes. The town’s position on the River Barrow and Grand Canal means persistent damp conditions, while the exposed south Kildare landscape brings cold westerly winds and significant temperature swings that put older single and double glazed windows under real pressure. Triple glazing makes a noticeable and lasting difference, particularly in the colder months when heating costs are at their highest.
Five years ago, 90% of windows installed by Airtight were double glazed versus 10% triple glazed. Today it’s a 50/50 split, and we expect triple glazing to overtake double glazing very soon.

Benefits for Athy households:

• Better heat retention during Ireland’s cold, damp winters
• Reduced condensation — common in older Athy properties built before modern energy standards
• Superior noise reduction, particularly useful for homes near the R417, the N78, or the busier routes through the town centre
• Higher home resale value as buyers increasingly expect A-rated windows
• Lower carbon footprint and improved BER ratings

Window and door installation in a 3-bed semi with 8–10 windows and two doors takes 3 days to complete. This includes all associated plasterwork, perimeter sealing, and removal of waste as standard.

Generally, no planning permission is required to replace windows in Athy if you’re replacing like-for-like — same size, style, and position. That said, Athy has a number of protected structures, including properties near White’s Castle, the Dominican Priory, and the historic town centre along Duke Street and Woodstock Street, where changes to fenestration may attract scrutiny. If your property is a protected structure, or if you’re significantly changing window size or style, planning permission may be required. We’ll advise you on this during your free consultation.

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 Athy home to take measurements, 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 aluminium materials with A-rated energy efficiency.

Step 4: Professional Installation (1–3 days) — Our experienced installers arrive on schedule and agree a fitting plan to minimise disruption — particularly important as more Athy households work from home. Installation includes removal and safe disposal of old windows/doors, frame preparation, precise fitting, all associated plasterwork, and perimeter sealing.

Step 5: Final Inspection — We conduct a thorough inspection with you, demonstrate how to operate the new windows and doors, and hand over spare keys. Care for the home we’re working in is paramount — our fitters are regularly complimented for leaving properties spotless.

Yes, we’ve been fitting A-rated windows for the past 10–15 years, and they are now a standard part of our offering. Even a double glazed A-rated window can reduce heat loss by 40% compared to older single glazing, with further improvements available through triple glazing. This translates to lower energy bills and a noticeably warmer, more comfortable home for Athy families throughout the year — particularly valuable in older period properties across the town that were never designed with modern energy efficiency in mind.

uPVC windows last 20–35 years in Ireland with minimal maintenance, making them excellent long-term value for Athy homeowners. Lifespan depends on quality, installation, weather exposure, and basic upkeep. In a riverside market town like Athy — where the Barrow and the Grand Canal mean damp conditions are a year-round reality — choosing a quality product from a certified installer is especially important. Inferior products degrade faster when exposed to persistent moisture and cold. uPVC can also be recycled at the end of its lifespan to maximise sustainability.
