Bay windows

[LadyBuilder]

Hi,

 

I am trying to figure out what to do with my bay window detail. Advice from Nudura has been:

 

'I note that there are a couple of ‘detailed’ bay windows and I have suggested using our 45 degree corners for this profile but as each of those forms would need to be cut to fit the design then there would be a lot of waste. It mat be possible to form this detail in a different way and thus save a fair bit of money. '

 

Can anybody suggest alternatives? I am thinking H+H blocks with thin joint for example, but I am worried about the connection detail and air tightness.

I think on the nudura you tube vids they cut the blocks into slices and glue back together to make the correct shape. 

If you make a ply wood template you could pre cut and glue using the template and carry over in one piece to place in the wall

adding reo could be a challenge. 

 

Are you bays semi circular? Or segmented like a 50p

we used to make a template / profile when doing curved brickwork. 

I think a similar thing would work.

Just had a look while having a cuppa. 

Nudura do a custom cut radius block. 

Have a look at there intro vid showing all the different blocks they do.

Segmented like 50p. The quote in the original post is Nudura. I assume if they had something to suit they would have suggested it.

 

starting to think it is best to just do ground floor in h+h solid wall with thin mortar and kooltherm
