Surveying Bay Windows

Surveying Bay Windows

When surveying a bay window, make a note of the materials above the window (e.g. brickwork, hanging tiles, tiled roof, etc) as structural bay windows are required to have jacking poles to prevent any structural movement above the bay window.

We recommend that for all bay window installations, the advice of a structural engineer is sought, to determine if the installation is load bearing.

When surveying a bay window, internal cill dimensions are required although fitting tolerances and trimming allowances must be taken into account.
