Triple glazed bay and bow windows in Lowestoft
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle triple glazed bay and bow windows for homes in Lowestoft and the rest of Suffolk.
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 Lowestoft
By midsummer Lowestoft has about 16 h 50 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 40 min, with the noon sun at about 14°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for bay and bow windows in England
In England, replacement windows must meet 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.
