Bow And Bay Windows
Bow And Bay Windows
Bay and bow windows make any room feel larger, broaden your view and welcome in more light. Bay windows have three panels and offer a more pronounced, angular projection. Bow windows have four or more panels allowing for a more gentle, rounded appearance. They can be made with any combination of picture, double hung, and casement windows.
Bow windows carve out curved new nooks
Bow windows, much like bay windows, extend beyond the walls of your home to add extra room indoors. With a combination of four or more windows, they provide more design options — and more daylight and airflow — in limited wall space.
Bay windows extend outside to add space inside
A combination of three windows joined at an angle, bay windows jut out beyond your walls to add space to your room. Because the windows face multiple directions and extend beyond your walls, they can let in more light and air than flat window types.
Bay & Bow windows add dimension to your home’s interior and exterior while providing more daylight and viewing area
Bow windows protrude from the exterior of a home in a rounded bow shape, typically constructed using a series of casement windows lined along a curved structure. Bow windows are similar to bay windows except bow windows are a curved, semi-circular structure rather than angular, giving a classic, elegant and traditional look.
Bow windows are typically created using four or five similarly-sized windows whereas bay windows use a larger window in the center of two flanking windows. Bow windows work best in exterior walls or corners with 80 inches or more of space, making them more flexible to fit large sizes than their bay counterparts. Because they extend past the exterior walls of a home, bow windows create the illusion of a bigger room with increased natural light and visual space. The area created with a bow window gives the opportunity to create a decorative shelf or even a reading nook or window seat with the addition of cushions or pillows. These windows can be fixed or operable but most commonly constructed with fixed window panes.
