Bay windows can offer an amazing feature to any development. They allow in a favourable amount of daylight as well as giving a home a superior quality individual appearance.
There are many styles of bays dependant on what effect you desire and you can use any of Dales style windows within a bay. We produce both Square & Splay bay windows but if you have any special requirements please do not hesitate to contact a member of our experienced sales team to assist you further.
When planning bay windows there needs to be careful consideration to detail & installation. The building regulations, approved document L 2002, require that the thermal performance around openings achieve levels that some traditional methods of bay window installation cannot meet.
Attention to the bay window cill detail is very important. In order to meet the requirements of the published "Robust Detail" and achieve a 30mm overhang of the window frame over the cavity, a wide cill is essential when using plain brickwork. If a cant brick or similar detail is used, cill width will be different.
The insulation of both the roof and the underside details of bay windows also require careful attention to ensure compliance, particularly where the bay projects beyond the structure. This needs to be discussed with your architect or local Building Control Officer.
Bay windows are not designed to be load bearing, if you have any queries please contact your architect or Dale. |
