What Munster Joinery does

Munster Joinery is a privately held, family-run Irish manufacturer of bespoke windows and doors, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Ballydesmond, Co. Cork. The company designs and produces made-to-order fenestration across four window material platforms — uPVC, timber (Heritage, Prestige, Nordic Pine), aluclad, and aluminium — and five door material platforms — uPVC, timber, aluminium, aluclad, and GRP — spanning casement, tilt & turn, sliding sash, fully reversible, fixed, bay, bow, angle, and arch window configurations, plus single, double, patio, lift & slide, and bi-fold door systems. Its core technical proposition is the PassiV range: 8 window systems certified as Passive House Suitable Components by the Passive House Institute (PHI) in Darmstadt, Germany, described as the only Passive House certified window range in the Irish market, with triple glazing, warm-edge spacers, and full NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings) compliance. Manufacturing is supported by on-site renewable energy (wind turbines and biomass CHP) saving over 9,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, and a dense stack of third-party certifications (BBA, BSI Kitemark, Secured by Design / PAS 24, NSAI ISO 9001, FSC, PEFC, IGBC EPD).
