Windows

Window pricing depends on size, material, glazing spec, finish and how many windows you’re replacing. As a rough guide, uPVC casement windows in Ireland typically sit in the €800–€1,600 range per unit, and aluminium €1,400–€7,000. Every Wright window is custom‑made, so we’ll measure up and give you a free no‑obligation written quote rather than guessing online.

Once your windows are manufactured, a typical full‑house installation takes 1–3 days depending on the number of openings and access. We work with you to keep the house weather‑tight throughout — you won’t be left with a hole in the wall overnight. Manufacturing lead time varies by season; ring or request a quote and we’ll give you a current timeline.

Both work well in the Irish climate. uPVC gives the best thermal performance per euro and a wide colour range — ideal for replacement work in standard openings. Aluminium gives slim sightlines, large opening sizes (up to 100kg sash weight) and a contemporary look — ideal for new builds and extensions where you want big runs of glass. Many Wright homeowners mix both: uPVC throughout the house and aluminium on the rear extension. Drop into the showroom and we’ll walk you through both materials side by side.

The SEAI Home Energy Upgrade scheme requires installed windows to meet specific U‑value thresholds, generally around 1.4 W/m²K or better for windows. Our entire range comfortably exceeds this requirement, with NSAI‑certified U‑values from 1.4 down to 0.7 on uPVC and 0.8 on aluminium, R9 Legacy and aluclad. The exact threshold and grant amount depends on the scheme version current at the time of your application — check the latest at SEAI.ie or ring us and we’ll talk you through it.

The usual signs: draughts you can feel near the frame, condensation between glass panes (failed sealed unit), heating bills going up year on year, frames swelling or rotting, glass that’s cracked or whistles in wind. Most Irish homes built before 2008 are still on B‑rated or worse glazing — you’ll feel an immediate difference upgrading to A‑rated. We’ll come out, look at what you have, and give you an honest opinion on whether replacement is worth it.

Yes — routinely. Our sliding sash range is designed specifically for Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian properties where the original windows are usually beyond economic repair but the homeowner wants to keep the traditional look. We also do custom‑shaped windows (arched, circular, triangular) for protected structures and conservation work. If you’re working with a conservation officer, send us the spec and we’ll quote against it.
