Yes, on every NZEB new build and major renovation. Building Regs Part L (TGD L 2019) NZEB requires U-value 1.4 W/m²K or lower. Quote triple-glazed argon-filled (U-value 0.8 to 1.1 W/m²K) at €280 to €580 per sqm installed for standard. Add €100 to €200 per sqm for Passive House certified.
Yes, recurring market. Tralee Atlantic coastal exposure (Tralee Bay, Fenit, Wild Atlantic Way) drives storm-damage window replacement insurance work (Ophelia 2017, Emma 2018, Eowyn 2025 legacy). Quote per-window-unit (€650 to €2,800 installed including double/triple-glazed low-E, frame, install) at insurer-rate pricing. Build relationships with 5 to 10 Irish insurance assessors (Allianz, AXA, Aviva, FBD, Zurich).
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.
