Triple glazed bay and bow windows in Cirencester
Homes in Cirencester can have triple glazed bay and bow windows supplied and fitted, with surveys arranged across Gloucestershire including GL7.
Coupled triple glazed frames with bay poles where the load needs them. A bay window projects out from the wall in angled sections; a bow window curves in more, shallower sections.
Winter light and glass choice in Cirencester
In Cirencester, midday sun in late December sits around 15° high, with roughly 7 h 47 min of daylight. For windows facing north or shaded by neighbours, cutting heat loss matters more than solar gain; on open south-facing glass, ask about a higher solar-gain unit.

Rules for bay and bow windows in England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions from Cirencester
Will the bay be warmer?
Yes. Replacing old double or single glazing in a bay with triple glazing cuts heat loss through the glass and makes the glass surface warmer, so the room feels less draughty.
How much does a triple glazed bay window cost?
Our guide starts at £2,995 for a three-light uPVC bay, fitted and inc VAT; UK quotes run from about £2,000 to £4,500.
How long does it take to get triple glazed bay and bow windows fitted in Cirencester?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 5 to 8 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
Do I need permission for triple glazed bay and bow windows in Cirencester?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
