Can I apply after the windows are fitted?

No. REWS requires Part A to be submitted before purchase and installation, and receipts dated before the scheme's launch are not eligible.

How long do I have to install?

Six months from the date of REWS's funds confirmation letter; after that, the grant offer can be withdrawn.

Can landlords or businesses apply?

No. The scheme is for homes used as the applicant's own residence; landlords and business use are excluded.

Who do I contact at REWS?

REWS freephone 153, or www.rews.org.mt.

Double Glazing Grant in Malta: 2026 Guide

Quick Answer

REWS runs a double glazing (retrofitting) grant for homes in Malta until 31 December 2026. It covers 50% of the eligible cost, including VAT, capped at €1,000. You must submit Part A online and receive REWS's funds confirmation letter before you buy or install, then install, pay and submit Part B within six months.

Malta's double glazing grant is run by the Regulator for Energy and Water Services (REWS) under the 2023 Roof Insulation and Double Glazing (Retrofitting) Scheme. The order of the steps matters: the application comes before the purchase. This guide sets out the official terms as published by REWS and servizz.gov.mt (checked November 2026), so you can plan the job before you ask for quotes. Always confirm the current terms with REWS before you apply.

How Much Is the Grant?

For retrofitted double glazing, the grant is 50% of the total eligible cost, including VAT, capped at €1,000 (servizz.gov.mt, service WEB-00344).

The eligible cost is the double-glazed aperture and its fixing, including VAT. Extended warranties, plastering or decorating, and permits or certification are not covered. Funds are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis, so meeting the criteria does not guarantee a grant.

Who Can Apply

For a household, the REWS guidelines say you may be eligible if:

You own the property, or hold a long lease with more than 5 years left
The property is your own private residence (landlords and business use are excluded)
You are resident in Malta with an ID card or residence permit
You are not receiving another public grant for the same windows
Your household has not already benefited under a similar REWS roof insulation and double glazing scheme

Step by Step

Buying before you apply loses the grant. The REWS steps, in order:

Get quotes for a REWS-registered product (REWS recommends more than one quote)
Obtain planning permission where it is needed
Submit Part A online, before you buy or install anything
Wait for REWS's funds confirmation letter (REWS generally decides within five weeks of a complete application)
Buy and install within six months of the confirmation, or the offer may be withdrawn
Submit Part B with the documents listed below

Product Rules

The windows must be a product registered with REWS, bought from a registered retailer in Malta. The finished unit needs a U-value of 3.7 W/m²K or better, the installer certifies the glazing gap, and the retailer gives a 5-year warranty. The windows must stay installed for at least 5 years. Ask your supplier to confirm, in writing, that the product you are quoted is on the REWS registered products list.

Documents for Part B

After installation, Part B asks for:

Your ID card
An ARMS water and electricity bill
The lease agreement, if any
Original fiscal receipts and the invoices
Photos before and after the works
A Planning Authority permit, where required
A copy of the 5-year guarantee
A completion certificate from your architect or installer
The signed form

Planning Your Windows Around the Grant

Because Part A comes first, ask for a written quote that lists the windows and the fitting separately before any work starts. Our team in Paola can survey your openings and prepare a quote for aluminium or uPVC double glazed windows; REWS decides eligibility and the grant amount.
