About Wright Windows
Three generations of the Wright family, manufacturing windows and doors from a single factory in Co. Westmeath since 1969. Hand‑built, certified, and fitted by us — nobody in between.
Our Story
A Westmeath workshop that grew into Ireland’s window manufacturer.
Wright Windows was founded in 1969 by Leo, Rose and Frank Wright. The first orders were doors and stairs for local builders working around Milltownpass. Within a decade, the workshop had outgrown its first shed and the family had moved into windows full‑time — first timber, then uPVC as the technology arrived in Ireland in the early 1980s, then aluclad, aluminium and composite as the market matured.
What hasn’t changed in 56 years is who answers the phone. Wright is still owned and run by the Wright family, now in its third generation. Every window and door we sell is still manufactured at our Milltownpass factory in Co. Westmeath — the same site, expanded several times, less than an hour from Dublin. We don’t resell other people’s products. We build them.
That direct‑manufacturer model is unusual in the Irish market. Most of our competitors import frames from the UK or continental Europe and bolt them together on‑site. We extrude, assemble, glaze, foil and fit everything in‑house. It means when something needs adjusting six months after installation, the same people who built the window come back to look at it. After three generations of doing it this way, we’re comfortable that it works.

The Factory
Built in Milltownpass, less than an hour from Dublin.
Our manufacturing facility sits on the original family site in Milltownpass, Co. Westmeath — about 75km west of Dublin city centre on the M4, roughly a one‑hour drive. Everything we sell is built here. uPVC profiles arrive as raw extrusion lengths and leave as foiled, glazed, hand‑assembled windows. Aluminium sections are cut, thermally broken and fabricated on the same floor. R9 Legacy composite profiles ship in from Wiltshire and we hand‑assemble every Irish unit ourselves.
We chose not to follow the importer model because we wanted to keep the work in‑house: faster turnaround on custom shapes, no minimum order quantities on heritage finishes, and the ability to fix anything that comes back — because we built it the first time. Most installers in this country can’t say that.

After-Sales
Donal · Service & Adjustments
Donal heads up after‑sales. If a window needs adjusting, a handle needs replacing, or a sash needs re‑balancing in year three, you ring Donal and he books you in. Three generations of the same number being answered.
Showroom
By Appointment
Our Milltownpass showroom is open Monday–Friday by appointment. Working samples of every system we sell — uPVC, aluminium, timber, aluclad, R9 Legacy and Spitfire — with finishes and cross‑sections on display.
Certified Performance
Independently Verified, Not Marketing Speak
Every U‑value we quote is NSAI‑certified. Every claim is independently tested. The numbers are real.
NSAI WEP A1 Rating
Our Eco Wright Passive system carries an NSAI Window Energy Performance A1 rating with a WEP index of 31.40 — the highest performance band in the Irish certification scheme.
U-Values Down to 0.7
NSAI‑certified U‑values down to 0.7 W/m²K on our uPVC range; 0.8 W/m²K on R9 Legacy, aluminium and aluclad with triple glazing. PassivHaus territory.
Multi-Point Locking Standard
Multi‑point locking and toughened safety glass come as standard on every entrance and patio door we ship. Not an upgrade — the baseline spec.
Official R9 Legacy Supplier
Wright is the official Irish supplier and installer of R9 Legacy composite flush‑sash windows. Every Irish R9 unit is assembled and glazed at our Milltownpass factory.
Sole Irish Spitfire S-500 Supplier
Wright is the only supplier of Spitfire S‑500 aluminium entrance doors in Ireland — Schüco‑profiled, RC3 security rating, U‑values from 0.6 W/m²K.
NSAI WEP Certified Range-Wide
Wright’s 70mm uPVC and flush‑sash window systems both achieve NSAI‑certified U‑values as low as 0.8 W/m²K — verified independently by the NSAI, not self‑reported.
Built in Ireland
Most installers import. We don’t.
A lot of what gets sold as “Irish windows” arrives in this country as a finished frame from Poland, Germany or the UK, gets the badge swapped at a Dublin warehouse, and turns up at your house on a van. That model has its uses — it’s cheap — but it means when something needs adjusting, the people who fit it have never seen the inside of a factory.
Wright runs the whole supply chain from inside Ireland. The frame is built in Westmeath. The glazing is sealed in Westmeath. The colour is foiled in Westmeath. The same crew that built it loads it onto the van and fits it at your house. When something needs a return visit, the people in the factory know exactly which unit it is.
Out in the World
Find us at the Ideal Home Show.
Wright exhibits at the Ideal Home Show in Dublin every spring — the largest home‑and‑interiors event in Ireland. You can see working samples of R9 Legacy, Spitfire S‑500, our uPVC and aluminium systems, and meet the sales and survey team without driving to Westmeath.
It’s the easiest way to put your hand on a Wright window before you commit to a quote. If you can’t make the show, the showroom is open Monday to Friday by appointment.
After the Fitter Leaves
Three generations of answering the phone.
The actual test of a window company isn’t the day the installers leave. It’s eighteen months later when a handle stops feeling right, or a sash needs an adjustment after the first proper winter. Most installers’ numbers go quiet after the cheque clears. Ours doesn’t.
Donal heads up our after‑sales team. He’ll book a service call, send someone to look at it, and — because we built the window in the first place — we know exactly which unit it is, which spec it was glazed to, and what the original installer did. That’s the advantage of one company doing all the work: there’s no “the manufacturer would have to look at that” conversation.
It’s also why a lot of our work comes from previous customers’ recommendations. After three generations, the after‑sales reputation is the thing that built the business.
