At Cozyglaze, we believe that quality windows deserve to be restored, not replaced. Our specialist Window Restoration services help homeowners, businesses and conservation professionals across Ireland preserve original timber and steel windows while improving their energy efficiency, appearance and longevity.
Whether you’re restoring a Georgian townhouse, Victorian terrace, listed building, period commercial premises or family home, our experienced craftsmen combine traditional techniques with modern materials to deliver outstanding, long-lasting results.
Why Choose Window Restoration?
Original windows were built to last. In many cases, even windows that appear beyond repair can be restored to excellent condition.
Choosing restoration instead of replacement allows you to:
- Preserve the character of your property.
- Retain original craftsmanship and materials.
- Improve energy efficiency.
- Eliminate draughts and rattles.
- Reduce outside noise.
- Extend the life of your existing windows.
- Avoid unnecessary replacement costs.
- Maintain the value and heritage of your building.
For protected structures and heritage buildings, restoration is often the preferred solution.
Timber Window Restoration
Our timber Window Restoration service is designed to restore the beauty and functionality of traditional wooden windows.
Every project begins with a detailed inspection before the sashes are carefully removed and transported to our workshop. Here, each component is professionally restored using traditional joinery techniques.
Our restoration process includes:
- Complete paint removal.
- Expert Wooden Window Repair.
- Replacement of rotten timber using premium Accoya hardwood.
- Sash Cord Replacement.
- Window Draft Proof installation.
- Repair or replacement of glazing bars where required.
- New ironmongery and fittings.
- Priming and professional finishing.
- Installation of LANDVAC Vacuum Glazing where appropriate.
The finished result retains the appearance of the original window while delivering dramatically improved performance.
Sliding Sash Restoration
Sliding sash windows are among Ireland’s most recognisable architectural features.
Years of wear can leave sash windows difficult to open, noisy, draughty or damaged, but these issues rarely require replacement.
Our Sliding Sash Restoration service restores smooth operation while preserving the original appearance of the window.
We repair damaged timber, replace worn cords and pulleys, rebalance the sash weights, install discreet draught proofing and upgrade glazing where appropriate.
The result is a window that looks original while performing to modern expectations.
Steel Window Restoration
Steel-framed windows are commonly found in schools, churches, industrial buildings and period commercial properties.
Our restoration specialists remove corrosion, replace damaged steel sections, repair hinges and opening mechanisms before preparing and repainting every frame.
Where suitable, we install Vacuum Glazing to improve insulation without compromising the window’s original appearance.
Window Upgrades with Vacuum Glazing
Traditional windows no longer have to mean poor energy efficiency.
Our Window Upgrade solutions incorporate ultra-thin LANDVAC Vacuum Glazing, allowing many original timber and steel windows to achieve exceptional thermal performance while maintaining their historic appearance.
Benefits include:
- Excellent thermal insulation.
- Significant noise reduction.
- Reduced condensation.
- Slim glazing profile ideal for heritage windows.
- Improved BER performance.
- Retention of original frames and joinery.
Vacuum glazing is one of the most effective ways to modernise traditional windows without altering their character.
Window Conservation
Conservation is at the heart of everything we do.
Our Window Conservation approach focuses on preserving as much original material as possible while ensuring the window continues to perform for decades to come.
Rather than replacing historic windows unnecessarily, we repair, strengthen and upgrade existing components using techniques that respect the original craftsmanship.
This approach is particularly valuable for listed buildings, protected structures and architecturally significant properties throughout Ireland.
Window Replication
Where restoration is no longer practical, Cozyglaze offers an expert Window Replication service.
Using traditional joinery methods, we manufacture replacement timber windows that accurately reproduce the original profiles, mouldings, glazing bars and architectural details.
The replicated window preserves the character of the building while incorporating modern improvements for strength, durability and thermal performance.

Every restoration project follows a proven process designed to deliver the highest standards of workmanship.
- Detailed inspection and assessment.
