Renovations, heritage and volumes
For homeowners planning renovations in Chur, the federal building register indicates a median house volume of 1062.5 m3, which serves as a baseline for assessing the scale of insulation or heating system upgrades. It is important to note that this figure is based on only 8 out of 2392 recorded houses, representing a very partial data coverage. Furthermore, information regarding heritage protection is largely unavailable for the 4785 listed buildings. Given these gaps in documentation, we strongly advise contacting the municipality directly to verify local permit requirements and any potential conservation restrictions before proceeding with your renovation plans.

Planning your work with precision
The first step is to inventory what you have. Count your windows by size, whether they are small windows, standard models, French doors, or bay windows. This detailed classification is essential to obtain a fair and consistent quote.
Also consider the current condition of the frames and wall structure to assess whether a total or partial removal is necessary.
To anticipate your budget, you can consult the RenoIndex simulator, which will give you a personalized price range adapted to the local market.
Understanding energy grants
If you also plan to insulate your facades or roof, you might be eligible for more significant financial support through the Buildings Programme.
We recommend that you check the current conditions before starting work, while using the RenoIndex simulator to estimate your initial costs.
Respecting aesthetic constraints
If your home is located in a protected area or the windows are on a facade visible from public space, strict rules may apply. The shape, material, and color of the frames are sometimes imposed to preserve the architectural character of the neighborhood.
Before hiring a contractor, inquire with the relevant planning department. This step prevents building permit refusals. To compare prices for different material types, feel free to use our free RenoIndex estimator to refine your renovation budget.
Choice of materials and glazing
The choice of material (PVC, wood, metal, or mixed) depends on your priorities: maintenance, aesthetics, or thermal performance. Today, double or triple glazing is the standard to ensure optimal insulation.
Also consider security and soundproofing depending on your location. Each option influences the total cost of the project.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get grants to replace my windows?
Windows alone are generally not subsidised. Financial aid available in the canton of Graubünden typically targets comprehensive energy-efficient renovations of the building envelope. It is better to combine this project with other insulation works to increase your chances of obtaining grants.
How do I get a reliable quote for my project in Chur?
For a reliable quote, inventory your windows by size and type before contacting professionals. Then, use the free RenoIndex estimator to get a realistic price range adapted to the local market. This will help you better compare quotes from contractors.
Are materials imposed by the city?
Yes, if your building is in a protected area or visible from public space, the municipality can impose the choice of colors and materials to ensure architectural harmony. Always check with the local planning department before starting.
Which types of windows to choose for optimal insulation?
Prioritize triple glazing for high thermal performance. The choice of frame material, such as wood or PVC, also plays a key role in insulation. Consider your needs for soundproofing and security, as these options also influence the overall price of the installation.
