Bow window

[mr mark j dickinson]

Hi, I use to be a builder for more than 20yrs, I have installed individual windows and velux windows in the past without issue, I had my son's friend to make a bow window which has arrived an it came in 4 individual windows. I was wondering if it is normal to fit each of the 4 units separately or do I need to put it all together then lift it in to place what is the norm? Is there a guide online anyone knows about or instructions to look at ? I built houses but have never done a bow window before, thanks in advance for any advice

Ask your sons friend, surely he'd know.

No he doesn't apparently he has never installed one, he got it from his supplier

Ask his supplier then.

I'm assuming this is PVC? I've fitted them both ways, I used to work with a guy would would screw a 7 seg together on the drive and carry it up a ladder with his arm through the frame and a transom resting on his shoulder, many a time it had to come back down to trim the horns a bit more

Think it's better to fit the cill in situ so it sits where the original sat, right back against the window board and fit the 2 end ones and spring the 2 middle ones in last
