Installation and Building Regulations Part ‘L’
Bay windows, whether square or splay (angled), need careful consideration when you are planning building detail and installation. The Building Regulations Approved Document ‘L’ require the thermal performance around openings to achieve levels that some traditional methods of bay window installation cannot meet. (The same applies to plain flat windows, but in those situations the solution is relatively straightforward.)
Traditionally, the various types of bays were set against plain brickwork with the joints made by butting the jambs, or corner posts, up to the brickwork. In some situations, a ‘birds-mouth’ detail was used to set the bay window into the corner of the brickwork (this detail isn’t shown here – please call us on 0845 122 2890 if you need more information). Most of these details create a ‘cold bridge’ at this joint, which is unacceptable under current regulations.
