Munster Joinery

Munster Joinery, Irish window and door manufacturer since 1973

Munster Joinery presents itself as one of Europe's largest manufacturers of energy-efficient windows and doors, supplying external joinery across Ireland and Northern Ireland. The family-run company has been operating since 1973 and attributes its growth to the continuous incorporation of new products, materials and processes. Its entire catalogue is made to order, so customers can combine shapes, styles, sizes, materials and options.

Materials and window ranges

The window offering is organised by material —uPVC, timber, aluclad and aluminium— and by ranges with their own names: Heritage, Prestige, Nordic Pine, uPVC, Passive, Aluminium and Aluclad. In terms of types, the manufacturer lists casement, tilt & turn, sliding sash, fixed and fully reversible windows.

Doors for every type of opening

The doors section covers five materials: uPVC, timber, aluclad, aluminium and GRP. The ranges available are Ultra Tech, Signature, Nordic Pine, Prestige uPVC, Aluclad, Aluminium, GRP, PassiV and Ecotherm+. Solutions include single doors, double doors, patio doors, lift & slide sliding doors, bi-fold patio doors and hinged models.

Passive House certified systems

Munster Joinery states that it has developed eight new systems to the Passive House standard, certified as suitable components by the Passive House Institute, an organisation based in Germany. The company describes the Passive House standard as the global benchmark for window energy efficiency and notes that these systems are available in uPVC, aluminium and aluclad.

In-house production and environmental criteria

The company controls all stages of the manufacturing process and states that this allows it to guarantee delivery of products to site and on time. Its production plant obtains a significant portion of the energy it needs for day-to-day operations from two of its own wind turbines, which, according to its data, prevents more than 9,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This is complemented by a biomass cogeneration plant and recycling systems. The company declares that sustainability is a central pillar of its activity.

Relationships with architects, builders and homeowners

Munster Joinery works with architects and builders on projects of any size. Professionals have an online account with access to data sheets, detail drawings and BIM models. For private customers, the company offers a full guarantee on its products and a service engineer in every area to provide after-sales support. The website features case studies such as Valor Homes, Modern Farmhouse, Family New Build, The Millhouse, Period Property and Rebuilding Glencar Cottages, and publishes The View magazine, of which at least eight issues featuring projects and design ideas have been produced.

Showroom network

The company maintains showrooms in Dublin, Galway, Cork and Belfast, where the product range can be viewed. The website also offers the possibility of requesting a quote via a form, attaching plans and contact details to refine the estimate.
