All of our windows can be configured to form a number of styles of bay or bow windows. Bay windows commonly come in a range starting from 2 sided all the way up to 9 sided or more. While the styling and bay angles may vary from bay to bay the same principles apply across the range. The angles on your bay will follow the angles already determined by your property. These are normally 90, 120, 135, 155 degrees.

The most important part of any bay window construction is a LOAD BEARING BAY POST. This load bearing post is used in between every facet that you have on your bay window.

See some examples below:
3 Sided Square Bay = 2 Load Bearing Posts
5 Sided Curved Bay = 4 Load Bearing Posts
7 Sided Curved Bay = 6 Load Bearing Posts

Over 70% of replacement window companies do not use the right posts in order to offer the correct support for the load above your windows. This is now a strict regulation from FENSA.

Be sure that you ask to see the Load Bearing Post from your supplier before you commit to making your purchase. Most of our competitors have a standard aluminium post that sits onto the plastic cill.THIS IS NOT LOAD BEARING
