Bay or Bow Windows - specification

Adjust the Size of the Window to match your own measurements

Entering your measurements

This Step of the processes allows you to submit the sizes , in Millimetres (mm), that you would like the window manufactured to.

red arrow Width

 

 

 

Please change the size of the window to match your own measurements. Click on any size (Shown in millimetres) which appears with either a red arrow above them or just with as numerals with a blue line through (See above).

Current minimum

Amend each size as required, within any minimum or maximum production sizes allowed, which may appear highlighted in a black text box (See above)  

Adjustment

If you enter any size which is above or below the current maximum or minimum a text box will appear (See above).

Certain sizes will be automatically calculated based on other size information shown for each window. These appear as white numerals in a red text box (See above)  

 

Cill included?

The sizes confirmed will always include any Cill

 

Manufacturing  and measurement tolerances

Our manufacturing works within tolerances of 2-3mm.

 

Please ensure the sizes you provide are not tight brickwork opening sizes as your new window may not fit, always allow a tolerance of about minus 10mm in the width and minus 10mm in the height. (Reduce size further if your opening is not square, out of level or has protruding bricks as your new window must be installed square, level and plumb).

Assumptions
We will always assume :

  • The normal width for a side opening sash is 600mm, this is measured from the edge of the outer frame to the centre of the mullion (vertical bar). Exceptions: If the window divides into equal parts of less than 650mm (divided by mullions) then your side opener will be set at an equal division. However, if you specify egress hinges it will revert to a 650mm wide section. If you specify easy clean hinges it will revert to a 600mm wide section.
  • The normal height of a fanlight sash is 360mm, this is measured from the top of the frame to the centre of the transom (horizontal bar). Georgian bar, diamond and rectangular lead will be laid out according to our best practice.

All window diagrams are shown viewed from the outside of the building. Please check the diagrams carefully to ensure that you are selecting the correct style for each segment of the window.

The diagrams show the design of the windows available and which way they open. The chevron points to the side of the window where the hinges are located. Please note that where there is no chevron pictured, the window does not open.

Window Diagram
 

Please note that this programme does not hold all variances of window styles that we produce. If you require a different style to those pictured please contact our office on 01234 272445 to discuss your specific needs.

The colours shown are designed as a guide only, if colour accuracy is vital please ensure you have seen a foil swatch before making your final selection. 

Our uPVC products are available in White or Woodgrain effect

Woodgrain Effects

Our Woodgrain finish products (made from uPVC, not timber) feature attractive whorl effects for a more realistic wood appearance than the fake looking lined wood grain pattern that many others often use. This means you get the beautiful look of wood without all the maintenance

An external cill is needed to aid the drainage of water out and away from the building to help protect the brickwork. The depth of cill needed will depend on how far back your window is set into the wall.

stub cill

Stub cill

A stub cill sits within the window cavity and is typically used when a cill is required to breach a gap between the new window and an existing structural cill. The stub cill can be placed to allow water to flow down on to the other surface that will drain the water away from the building.

 

150mm cill150mm cill

The 150mm cill is the most popular option for windows set approx 25 mm back from the brick face.

 

 

180mm cill180mm cill

A 180mm cill is typically used for windows that are set further back from the brick face, approx 50mm.

 

 

If the window has a cill as part of the structure of the house, eg. a stone or brick cill, you may not require a cill as there may already be sufficient means of drainage in place.


If you select to include an external Cill as part of your window order, it will be automatically included in the overall height of your window.

The cill will be welded at each angle of the bay window. A cut and coupler may be provided at the discretion of the Company.

Egress Position
(Easy Clean/Egress Hinge

In the Egress hinge position the hinge opens at approx 90 degrees to create a wider opening that's easy to climb out of, which is useful if you ever need to escape, for example in the event of a fire.

Ideal for adding extra security to the lower floors and more secluded parts of the home such as the back

Toughened glass must be fitted to windows which are either:
*Within 800mm of the closest floor level.
*Or if within 300mm of a door if within 1500mm of the closest floor level.
