Hi all.
I have medium sized mid terrace house that has large bay windows.
These bay windows are the usual style with a stone support pillars
either side of the centre window pane.
I have cheap wooden single glazed system in place at the moment which has
internal fascia boards covering the internal view of the stone pillars.
I want to convert to dbl glazing.
But I think it would be more attractive if the stone pillars where visible.
So my question is, is it ok to spec a dbl glazing system that doesn't
require
these fascias?

Thanks.

Normally the pillars in Victorian terraced houses are of the "Sandstone",
type?

Are you allowed to have exposed pillars inside - they will have poor
insulation ?
Maybe the internal facias are insulated ?

Thanks.

I'm leaning toward the thought that if the upvc frames are fitted well,

the sandstone pillars wouldn't be a significant heat loss source.

The house I'm buying has concrete/stone (not sure) pillars around the
curved bay,
The windows are wooden single-glazed and fit entirely inside the
pillars, such that the window sill is actually very narrow. I'll have
to think about this when I get round to replacing the windows.

In the context of replacement windows this is not a bay.
It is 3 flat windows fitted into 3 apertures so bay
support poles are not required.
The new windows would be fitted to the brick(stone)work
in each section so I guess that you can do what you wish
with the internal cladding.
If existing windows are vertical sash sliders, as is
often the case in this type of property, then you might
have an issue with the old sash boxes. Otherwise, no
problem.
