How does the 2020 super bonus on renovations work? When will it start?

To find out even more, we recommend that you also read our Ecobonus 2020 article in the Official Gazette which explains in a simple and quick way who are the beneficiaries of the Ecobonus 110% and which jobs are admitted.

Are the windows included in the 110% eco-bonus?

WARNING! Here is the big flaw of this bonus: at the moment only large-scale interventions are included and not small renovations.

The facilitation of the assignment of the tax credit also includes minor interventions , such as the renovation of windows and fixtures , solar shading, insulation interventions, heat pumps, building automation systems, solar collectors, but with deductions between 50 and 65%. These interventions will therefore not be able to benefit from the 110 percent eco-bonus.

The response of the window and door industry associations

Having taken note of the above, the associations of the window and door sector and building envelope have sent a letter to the Prime Minister and the Government. According to these experts in the window and door sector, the increase in the deduction rates for the eco-bonus exclusively aimed at undefined overall energy redevelopment interventions of buildings could be a measure that is not only useless but even harmful for the entire country . Now we will go into their motivations in detail.

In fact, as the 2020 Relaunch Decree was created, individual interventions including the replacement of windows and sun screens are excluded from the increase in the deduction rates . This would risk condemning thousands of SMEs to inactivity for several months. The measure is in fact aimed at condominium operations, procedures and conditions and bound to the carrying out of specific interventions. Elements that have in themselves all the characteristics of non-immediacy.

This is why this measure will probably not spark any immediate demand and could instead have the terrible effect of slowing down or blocking for months even the already small intention of changing windows and screens by Italian families.

Solutions to help window manufacturers and those who want to change windows

At the time of writing this guide, the signatory associations of this appeal are clamoring for the integration in the possible increased rate of 110% of all the types of intervention envisaged up to now in the tax deduction regime for the energy requalification of buildings. Alternatively, they suggest introducing measures that reward all interventions in the short term, starting with the most agile and immediate.

Only through these changes, at least according to the associations of the world of windows, will it be possible to avert the disaster of an entire sector.
