Will these windows affect my home insurance?

If you are replacing every window in your house, this may increase the rebuild cost of your home, therefore you should check with your insurer as a precaution.

However, if you’re only replacing a small UPVC window, there is usually no need to review your home insurance policy.

While modern UPVC windows can improve the security of your home, this will not normally have an impact on the price of your cover, although it is worth mentioning this to see whether your particular insurer offers a different premium based on the use of an approved locking system.

During the process of installing your windows, your installer will have their own professional cover in the event that there is any damage caused as a result of their work, and your windows themselves are covered with the Independent Network insurance backed guarantee against any defects.
