Winter light and glass choice in Caernarfon

Rules for bay and bow windows in Wales
Wales requires replacement windows to achieve 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. As in England, replacement windows are a controlled fitting: a competent person scheme installer self-certifies the work, or building control approves it.
Planning: Householder permitted development rules do not cover flats, and councils can remove rights with Article 4 directions. Listed buildings need listed building consent. Check with your council before changing the style or material.
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 Caernarfon
Can I change a bay to a flat window?
That is a structural and planning change, not a like-for-like replacement. Ask and we will explain what it involves.
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.
Do I need permission for triple glazed bay and bow windows in Caernarfon?
In Wales, householder rules do not cover flats, councils can use Article 4 directions, and listed buildings need consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
