Belfast & Northern Ireland
(2025 Guide)
Why Belfast & NI
homeowners are upgrading now
Rising energy costs and tighter efficiency expectations mean modern windows and doors do more than refresh kerb appeal they cut draughts, reduce noise and improve security. Today’s frames and glass reach low U-values with warm-edge spacers and multi-point locks, while professional installation preserves performance.
Windows: what works best in our climate
Three proven options for Belfast & Northern Ireland homes. Covering performance, style, and maintenance.
uPVC
uPVC casement & tilt-turn
Value, insulation and easy upkeep for Belfast’s mixed housing stock.
- Excellent thermal performance with WER A-band options.
- Low-maintenance profiles; wide colour & woodgrain choices.
Heritage
Vertical sash
Authentic look for period terraces & semis across Belfast.
- Optional astragal bars; balances for smooth operation.
- Modern double/triple glazing for efficiency and comfort.
Glazing choices that matter (and why)
Double vs Triple
Triple helps on exposed/coastal or high-noise routes; high-spec double is often the sweet spot in the city.
Low-E + warm-edge spacers
Lower heat loss and reduce surface condensation risk by improving edge insulation.
Acoustic / laminated glass
Interlayers damp road/flight noise and add security. Typical acoustic laminates deliver notable dB reductions vs standard IGUs.
The Premium Choice
Composite Doors Belfast
Composite doors are now one of the most popular choices for homeowners in Belfast and across Northern Ireland. Built with a reinforced core, insulated layers and a durable outer skin, they combine the best features of timber and uPVC.
At Hurricane Windows & Doors, every composite door is manufactured and installed to the highest standard, ensuring your home is safe, warm and stylish.

NI energy standards: what to look for (simple checklist)
