Insurance for UPVC Window and Door Manufacturers and Installers

UPVC window and door manufacturers and installers insurance is for businesses that fabricate, assemble, supply, deliver or install UPVC windows, doors, frames, patio doors, bi-folds, sealed units, hardware and replacement-window products.

The cover conversation should separate workshop activity from site installation. Insurers usually need to understand whether you manufacture frames, buy in sealed units, glaze in-house, install through employees or subcontractors, and whether you work in domestic homes, commercial premises or construction sites.
