23 Years of Experience Working with Homeowners in Bray
Why Bray Homeowners Choose Airtight
Since 2003, we’ve been the family-owned window and door specialists Bray homeowners trust when they want the job done right the first time. From the Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the seafront to the newer estates on the town’s outskirts, we understand the specific demands that Bray’s exposed east Wicklow coastal climate places on windows and doors. Salt air off the Irish Sea, prevailing winds along the promenade, and damp winters mean inferior products fail faster here — and we’ve been specifying for exactly these conditions for over two decades.
Our Promise
Every installation is completed by experienced fitters with an average of 15+ years in the trade. They’re regularly complimented for arriving on time and leaving a clean, tidy working space — something Bray homeowners tell us matters as much as the product itself.

How much does it cost to replace windows in Bray?
Window replacement costs in Bray typically range from €600–€1,200 per window, depending on size, material, and energy rating. For a standard 3-bedroom semi-detached home in Bray, expect to pay €12,000–€18,000 for a full-home replacement with energy-efficient A-rated uPVC windows. At Airtight Window Systems, we provide free in-home consultations and detailed quotes within 24 hours, so you know exactly what your project will cost before committing.
How much does a new front door cost in Bray?
New front door installation in Bray starts from €1,800 plus VAT for supply and installation of a single triple glazed Composite Door, up to €3,600 plus VAT for a triple glazed Composite Door with two adjoining side-screens. Composite Doors are a popular choice among Bray homeowners — combining the premium look of wood with almost zero maintenance, superior insulation, and multi-point locking. Installations typically take a day and carry a 12-year guarantee.
Is it worth getting triple glazed windows in Bray?
Yes — triple glazed windows are particularly worthwhile for Bray homes. Sitting directly on the east Wicklow coast with full exposure to the Irish Sea, prevailing winds along the seafront promenade, and damp winters, the added performance of triple glazing makes a noticeable and lasting difference compared to double glazing alone. 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 Skerries households:
- Better heat retention during Ireland’s cold, damp coastal winters
- Reduced condensation — particularly common in seafront and promenade-side properties
- Superior noise reduction, useful for properties near the DART line, the town centre, or the main Quinsborough Road
- Higher home resale value as buyers increasingly expect A-rated windows
- Lower carbon footprint and improved BER ratings
How long does it take to install new windows in a Bray home?
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.
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Bray?
Generally, no planning permission is required to replace windows in Bray if you’re replacing like-for-like (same size, style, and position). That said, Bray has a number of protected structures and conservation-sensitive areas — particularly around the seafront, the older Victorian streets near the town centre, and some of the period terraces on the Strand Road. If your property falls into one of these categories, 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.
What is the process for replacing windows in my Bray home?
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 Bray 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 — increasingly important as more Bray 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.
Are A-rated windows worth it in Bray?
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 Bray families throughout the year — particularly valuable given the coastal exposure the town experiences along the Irish Sea.
How long do uPVC windows last in Bray?
uPVC windows last 20–35 years in Ireland with minimal maintenance, making them excellent long-term value for Bray homeowners. Lifespan depends on quality, installation, weather exposure, and basic upkeep. In a coastal town like Bray, choosing a quality product from a certified installer makes significantly more of a difference than in sheltered inland locations — salt air and seafront exposure are harder on inferior products and poor installations. uPVC can also be recycled at the end of its lifespan to maximise sustainability.
