Hi, good videos on your bay window insulation. Please can you post photos or a video of the finished job? Thanks

[@relph3]

I will do but not sure when because I haven't finished it yet, I hope to re-start this project this year (2022).

Did you push the insulation against the brick work? Surely it's best not to as it would create condensation, you should leave atleast a 30mm air flow gap

This is a tremendous set of videos. Superbly explained and illustrated. However there is one small adjustment I'd suggest (from a viewers point of view), please instruct the Minstrel to stop the repetitive tickling on his guitar while you are talking. Its just loud enough to be really annoying.

Did you finish the project? Did it solve the damp, is the room warmer? Thinking of doing similar with my bay window.

[@relph3]

I have finished insulating the window bay. Prior to me doing so, the window bay was not only badly insulated from the cold but also there was unacceptable noise levels of traffic from the nearby main road which stopped us using the room. Insulating and sealing up the window bay has made a big difference. For example if I opened the window prior to insulating the sound levels from outside hardly changed. The whole room is now warmer and quieter. I can't remember having any damp issues and I would recommend you do the same if you have similar issues. Originally my window bay was built of stud without any cavity either. It was basically Lath and plaster on the inside of the stud and lath and slate roof tiles on the outside of the stud.

Hi great video I have a 60s ex council mid terrace house with cladding under bay window. Sounds hollow on the inside so is it normal to not have brick under a bay window?

[@relph3]

If your mid 60s style house has a window bay which looks from the outside of the house to continue from the ground floor though the upper floor window bay, then chances are the ground floor is constructed of brick or block and the upstairs is similar to the one in my video. Although my house is a mid 30s style house.
