Start the installation process by placing the middle bay into position. Make sure that the screws don’t penetrate into the sash chamber (illustrated in red) as this can affect the function of the window.
Take extra care when screwing the adaptor to the frame. If it is not touching, then the bay poles will not sit correctly later. Visually inspect the positioning of the frame adaptors you should make sure the adaptor is touching the outer frame where the lip is on the frame adaptor. Use 25mm self-tapper screws, one screw at the top and one at the bottom then 500mm apart.
Before placing the windows into the bay, you should fit frame adaptors to both external sides of the middle bay. Now that you have cut the sills to the right angles you are almost ready to start the installation.
Before you can install the new windows, you need to place the window on its head, remove the sill, cut the angle of your bay and then re-attach the sill. Some installers remove one or both sashes to make the window lighter and easier to install. Also, make sure to measure all corners of the bay just in case the angles are different. Make sure you allow around 9mm for the bay posts, this measurement may change due to the angle of your bay, always measure before cutting the sill. It’s vital that you make sure you are completely confident the angle is correct before cutting the sills on the windows. This guide will cover the complexity of a variable degree bay. With any variable degree bay post, you should measure the angles for the sill. Bay posts come in two different variants: 90-degree and variable. Once the old windows have been removed and the aperture is ready for the new windows to be installed, the first thing you should do is measure the angles for the sill. Make sure all old windows are removed and leave as smooth an opening as possible – this will make fitting new windows a lot easier. It’s also best practice to double-check that your new windows are the correct sizes before removing the old windows. Step 2 – Remove Existing Windowsīefore removing any windows, assess the structure to see if any load baring equipment is needed. This will allow tolerances that give space for expansion and contraction of the bay window frames. Please be aware that you should attempt to measure the smallest measurements possible, as these will be the “tight” sizes. Please fill out the bay windows measurement form and submit to and we’ll be happy to advise whether more information is needed. It’s essential that you provide us with the internal dimensions. You need to measure the internal widths of each section of the bay window by measuring the existing windows point to point. At this point, the measurements should be taken for Quickslide to supply a bay window solution that fits the aperture. When you complete the initial survey to detail the new window specification, it is vital that you first check that there are no concerns such as cracks in the brick wall before you proceed.
