How to finance new windows: your options explained

If you’ve decided to upgrade your home’s windows, the next question is often the most daunting: how to pay for it. With the average uPVC casement window costing around £1,200, a typical home with eight windows might be looking at a bill just shy of £10,000. Larger windows, timber frames, or sash designs can increase costs further.

When comparing finance options, it’s important not to focus solely on the interest rate. A lower rate spread over a longer term may still cost more overall than a higher rate for a shorter period.
