Bow or Bay Windows
Both bay and bow windows protrude outward from the main walls of a building, designed to create space and provide a wider view of the outdoors. The difference between the two is that a bay window is typically constructed from three or more windows, where bow windows are typically larger and consist of four to six windows with less of an outward projection
Bow and bay windows can enhance your living space while providing sweeping views, added ventilation and more natural light.
This type of window is designed to be energy efficient by incorporating insulated head and seat boards. When space allows, consider adding one of these truly beautiful and uniquely configured windows to your new construction or replacement project.
Bow and bay windows are a combination of windows joined to create a curve extending beyond your home’s walls. Bay windows consist of three windows (one central fixed pane and two angled, operable windows). On the other hand, the bay window typically consists of four or more windows. Bow windows are made up of casement windows, whereas bay windows feature a picture window in the center, with double-hung windows on the other side.
