Answering your bay window installation questions

Is it hard to install a bay window?

Bay window installation can be challenging, especially if you do not have the skills or experience needed. This is a job best left to the professionals.

Unlike standard windows, bay windows protrude away from the property. Replacing flat windows with bay windows is not a straightforward switch and will often require additional work.

There are several stages to installing a bay window. You will need to remove the old window before you securely fit the new frames into place.

We highly recommend hiring an experienced bay window installer to make sure your new windows are safely secured and offer optimal performance.

What are the disadvantages of bay windows?

Bay windows can increase the space available in your rooms, bring more natural light to your home and increase your property's kerb appeal.

That said, they're not the best choice for every home. You'll need to bear in mind that they:

• Have a high installation cost

• Need for more complicated hardware - arched curtain poles, long curtains etc

• Often cause solar gain

• Can suffer from structural problems

Bay windows are larger and have a more complex design than standard flat frames. Installation fees reflect the additional work needed to securely install bay windows.

Due to their shape, straight curtain poles can't be used with bay windows. Instead, you will need a curved rail – which can be more difficult to find in specific sizes and styles than a straight pole.

Bay windows often consist of several large panes of glazing and finding large enough curtains can also be a challenge.

The large glazed panes can also cause overheating problems. Bay windows allow natural light to flood into your home and the extra heat can be an issue.

However, investing in high-quality, energy-efficient double-glazed bay windows can reduce the impact of solar gain.

A poor bay window installation can cause problems for your property's structure over time. The weight of your windows can cause cracks and other damage.

By hiring a professional installer, you can be confident that they will correctly fit your windows.

Do I need permission for a bay window?

You will not need planning permission if you're upgrading existing bay windows with new frames.

However, you'll need to contact your local planning authority if you're planning to swap flat windows with a bay window.

Bay windows are classed as an extension as they protrude away from your property's walls. Usually, you only need planning permission when installing bay windows at the front of your property.

Fitting the windows on the side or back of your home can usually be done without planning permission. It is always best to contact your council if you're unsure whether you need planning permission or not.

While not all installations require planning permission, all windows must comply with building regulations. You can make sure your bay windows meet these legal safety standards by hiring a qualified window installer.

How much does it cost to put in a bay window?

The price of bay window installation can vary, depending on various factors. They include:

• Frame and glazing size

• Number of glazed sections

• Window style - bow, box, oriel, circle

• Frame material - uPVC, aluminium, timber etc

• Glazing - double glazing, triple glazing, specialist glass

• Your location - installation fees vary throughout the UK

You can expect to pay an average of£2,000 for a bay window replacement.

The average cost of a 3-section bay window is £1,250and this increases to £1,650 for four sections.
