Q-secure Windows & Doors Guaranteed to Protect

Buying new windows and doors is a major investment and many people can find it daunting when presented with the many options available.

The industry has progressed rapidly in recent years and now homeowners are left in the happy position of having lots of choice over and above ‘white squares’, including the following:

• Which material?
• White or colour?
• Smooth or woodgrain finish?
• Rebated or heritage flush design?
• Bi-Fold doors or an inline slider? Or maybe a state of the art lift/slide patio door?

It’s great to be spoiled for choice and you now have a free hand to get exactly what looks best on your house. However, when selecting your windows and doors, and who installs them, be sure to ask what security guarantee they come with. It’s important to know.

If the installer fits products that are covered by VBH’s Q-secure Security Guarantee you could receive up to £8000 if your home is broken into through you doors or windows.

As a hardware expert who has been supplying top quality products to the industry since 1975, VBH can help you source windows and doors that are GUARANTEED to be secure. 

We recognise the need for a meaningful security guarantee for the end-user and have put together the Q-secure guarantee after having our security-related hardware tested at BSI to the latest security standards. In fact, all the security hardware covered by Q-secure (locks, hinges etc.) is included within our BSI Kitemark in respect of building hardware used in windows and doorsets.

The Kitemark is an instantly recognisable badge of quality.

There are three huge benefits to home owners who buy Q-secure approved windows, doors and patio doors.

• Only companies who use top quality uPVC/PVCu and aluminium window and door systems can become Q-secure approved.
• Consumers can buy safe in the knowledge that all the hardware on their windows has been independently tested to the latest security standards both in the UK and in Europe
• In the unlikely event of a successful break in being achieved due to the failure of the hardware on a Q-secure installation, VBH will pay the customer up to £8000 in compensation.

We can to do this because we have supreme confidence in how our hardware performs and on the window systems used by our partners.

Q-secure is offered by a growing network of Approved Installers and covers uPVC/PVCu windows and residential doors, composite doors, uPVC sliding patio doors, aluminium lift/slide doors, and our most popular product – aluminium bi-folding doors. Some of our installer network also offer aluminium Q-secure windows.    

Only Approved Installers using our Q-secure hardware can offer the guarantee.

To become part of the network, installers must commit to using products geared with our Q-secure approved hardware (covered by Kitemark KM727991). In addition, they can only use the brands of uPVC/PVCu or aluminium frame material that we have tested our hardware on. This way we can be sure that your windows and doors are exactly the same as the tested products.
