Key takeaways
- Most window installation & replacement jobs in Cyprus land between €250–€8,000 — known locally as window replacement (κουφώματα).
- No installer licensing applies in Cyprus, but EU energy-performance requirements apply to new and replacement units, and government energy-upgrade grant schemes have periodically subsidized window replacement in older homes. Aluminium joinery ('koufomata') dominates the market.
- Prices below are researched national ranges, updated July 2026 — not quotes.

What affects the price
- Job size and scope — bigger or more complex jobs move you up the ranges above.
- Access and condition — hard-to-reach areas, older properties or neglected maintenance add labour time.
- Materials and quality level — where materials are involved, the grade you choose often matters more than labour.
- Urgency — same-day or out-of-hours work usually carries a premium.
- Where you live — large metros in Cyprus typically run above the national range; smaller towns below it.
How to save
- Get at least three quotes and compare like-for-like scopes, not just totals.
- Be flexible on timing — off-peak slots are often cheaper.
- Bundle related tasks into one visit to spread call-out costs.
- Agree the scope in writing up front to avoid change-order surprises.
How to hire a window installation & replacement pro in Cyprus
- Get quotes from aluminium fabricators (the dominant Cyprus frame material) with thermal-break frames specified
- Check eligibility for Cyprus energy-upgrade grant schemes that periodically part-fund window replacement
- Confirm double glazing with low-E for west/south elevations — summer heat is the main enemy
- Ask for VAT invoice and per-window written pricing
- Confirm insect screens and shutters (common local additions) in the quote
- Ask about lead times — most frames are fabricated locally within 2-4 weeks
Red flags
- Non-thermal-break aluminium sold as 'energy efficient'
- Verbal quote only
- No mention of sealing and making good render reveals
- Very cheap frames with unbranded hardware
- Full payment upfront

Frequently asked questions
What is double glazing and is triple glazing worth it?
Double glazing (two panes with a sealed gas gap) is the modern default. Triple adds insulation and noise benefits that matter most in cold climates and on noisy roads; elsewhere the extra cost rarely pays back. Spend first on installation quality and low-E coatings — a badly fitted triple-glazed unit performs worse than a well-fitted double.
Can windows be replaced in winter or bad weather?
Yes — pros replace one opening at a time so the house is never fully open, and cold-weather installation is routine in cold climates. Sealants and foams have temperature limits, so extreme cold or rain may shift a schedule, but winter is often the quieter, cheaper season to book.
How long does window installation take?
Replacing a window in an existing opening takes 2-4 hours per window for an experienced crew — a whole house is usually 1-3 days. The wait is in manufacturing: made-to-measure windows typically take 2-8 weeks from survey to fitting.
How do I choose between vinyl/uPVC, aluminium and timber windows?
uPVC/vinyl is the value pick: good insulation, low maintenance, mid-range look. Aluminium gives slim frames and durability (thermally broken frames fix its insulation weakness) at a higher price. Timber looks best and suits period homes but needs maintenance and costs most. Warranty and installer quality matter more than brand marketing.
How much does window replacement cost?
Windows are priced per opening: the unit itself (frame material, glazing spec, size) plus installation labour. A standard-size replacement in an existing opening is the base case; enlarging openings, upper-floor access, bay windows and heritage styles add meaningfully. Whole-house jobs get per-window discounts.
What should a window installation quote include?
Per-window pricing with glazing spec, removal and disposal of old windows, making good internal reveals and external sealing, hardware, and warranty terms for both the unit (often 10 years) and the installation. Cheap quotes commonly exclude making-good — the messiest part.
Do new windows need planning permission or permits?
Like-for-like replacement is usually permit-free, but many places regulate windows through energy codes, safety-glass rules, and egress requirements for bedrooms — and heritage/conservation properties almost always need consent for changes. Your installer should know local rules; ask what paperwork you'll receive at completion.
What do replacement windows cost in Cyprus?
Thermal-break aluminium double-glazed windows typically land €250-600 per window fitted, with shutters and fly screens extra. A typical 3-bed house full replacement lands €3,000-7,000.
