€1,900-€4,500 per window installed for Munster Joinery Heritage, Pinergy or equivalent hardwood sash. Includes survey, manufacture (8-12 week lead time), removal of original, install, A-rated WER triple-glazing units, decoration, NSAI Agrément certificate. Quote scaffold (€1,200-€3,800 for upper floors with coastal wind bracing) and disposal separately.
Drogheda Town Centre (A92) walled medieval town and West Street / Shop Street Norman/Georgian terraces have Section 57 Protected Structure status. Quote sympathetic timber sash restoration (€500-€1,000 per window draught-proof and refurb) or full like-for-like NSAI-certified timber sash replacement (€1,500-€3,500) with ACA coordination and Louth County Council Conservation Officer sign-off.
NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) compliance mandatory on new dwellings since November 2019 typically requires triple-glazing (U-value 0.8-1.0 W/m²K). Quote A-rated WER triple-glazed units (€60-€110/sqm of glass) on new-build and major retrofit as standard. Building Regs Part L mandates U-value 1.4 W/m²K or lower on all window replacements.
Hourly rates are €35 to €70 in the US, £30-75 in the UK, A€45-140 in Australia, R220-600 in South Africa, and C€35-115 in Canada. Most glaziers quote per pane or per square metre rather than hourly because glass cost dominates the bill.
Standard 4mm float glass in a sound frame is €115-420 per pane installed. Larger panes, double-glazed units, or laminated safety glass run €255-1,500. The variables: glass type, pane size, frame condition, and access.
For jobs over €320, get 2-3 quotes. Compare glass spec (thickness, grade, coating), frame work scope, and warranty. The cheapest quote often substitutes lower-grade glass or skips the frame inspection.
Double-glazed units have two panes of glass with argon gas and a desiccant seal between them, plus a low-E coating. Manufacturing cost is 3-5x single pane. The payback: 20-40% energy savings on heating and cooling over 10-15 years.
Code requires safety glass (toughened or laminated) in doors, sidelights within 300mm of a door, wet areas (shower, bathroom), and any panel below 1m from floor. Outside those locations, regular float glass is legal but less safe.
