Bronze Windows at Carrigeen Castle

County Tipperary, Ireland

With its rich and interesting past and its historically significant architecture, this project required windows that could measure up to the style and history of the original building.

There’s a lot of history at Carrigeen Castle. The hilltop once held a fortress predating 1600, and became the anchor point for Cahir Bridewell (1812-15), which served to hold prisoners from 1816 to 1878.

Carrigeen Castle has been under family ownership since 1919, and the owner’s parents opened the doors to the castle as a bed and breakfast in May 1976. Recent renovation and transformation will see a new phase in the life of this magnificent building.

The weather conditions of the site had to be taken into consideration for this project. Based in County Tipperary in Ireland and residing atop a substantial hill, the owners were looking for windows they could trust to hold resolute against the elements.

Not only is bronze visually attractive, but it’s also extremely durable with its natural patina acting as a protective layer to prevent corrosion. Bronze’s ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions makes it the perfect choice for properties like Carrigeen Castle.

“Surprisingly effective; no air of Brexit at all. Good customer service, good division of roles/follow-up, and now registered for Irish VAT also.

“They engaged promptly and offered an on-site assessment within the month. They even ensured a follow-up visit shortly after to “measure twice, cut once”, which I found reassuring.

“The on-site installation team came over and installed everything perfectly. It was all left very tidy; I have, in fact, requested the same team returns for phase two of our build later this year.”
