New front door installation in Arklow 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 Arklow 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.

Yes — triple glazed windows deliver clear benefits for Arklow homes. As a coastal town, Arklow is exposed to salt-laden Atlantic winds and persistent damp conditions that make heat retention a real challenge, particularly in older properties throughout the town. Triple glazing makes a noticeable and lasting difference over double glazing, 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 Arklow households:

• Better heat retention during Ireland’s cold, damp winters
• Reduced condensation — common in older Arklow properties with less air circulation
• Superior noise reduction, beneficial for homes near the N11 or busier routes through town
• 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 Arklow if you’re replacing like-for-like — same size, style, and position. That said, Arklow town centre has a number of older period properties and structures where changes to fenestration may attract scrutiny, particularly in the historic core near the quays. 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 Arklow 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 Arklow 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 Arklow families throughout the year — particularly valuable in a coastal town where older builds were never designed with energy efficiency in mind and salt air accelerates wear on substandard materials.

uPVC windows last 20–35 years in Ireland with minimal maintenance, making them excellent long-term value for Arklow homeowners. Lifespan depends on quality, installation, weather exposure, and basic upkeep. In a coastal environment like Arklow, choosing a quality product from a certified installer is especially important — inferior products degrade faster when exposed to salt air and persistent moisture. uPVC can also be recycled at the end of its lifespan to maximise sustainability.
