What is a baypole?
For bay windows, you should utilise bay poles (or a type of support like concrete pillars) for load bearing. The window frames alone are not enough, due to the Upvc bowing and warping.
Normally two bay poles are sufficient to connect a 3 sided bay. Bay poles are mostly present between the window joins. To connect the bay windows together, so they fit neatly in the bay and around the bay poles you use baypole screws. The screws are also used to connect the window sill to the window frame.
These screws come in different lengths ranging from 50mm to 90mm to suit your needs. Please see the details below:

Our Baypole Self-Drilling Screws have a tapered shaft with the thread running from the head to the tip continuously. These are popularly used because they can be screwed down to any material effortlessly, without the need to drill a pilot hole.
When screwing down into a metal sheet or UPVC surface, the screw’s chisel tip acts like a drill bit, and hence you do not need a pilot hole while driving through thin sheets of metal or plastic with this chisel tip. (It must be noted that all self-drilling screws are self-tapping, though all self-tapping screws are not self-drilling.)
