Bay Windows

Bay windows bring more to the table than your average window. This is mainly because bay windows are combinations of windows that extend out from your house and capture a wide outside view. Regardless of whether you have limited wall space, bay windows allow you to utilize more windows thus creating more of a view while taking up a limited amount of space. They are considered an upscale alternative to flat pane windows because they look amazing and work wonderfully with homes that have striking views and colorful landscaping.

Bay windows combine three or more windows in a single unit. They have a large center window flanked by two or more smaller windows. The smaller side windows are typically at a 30, 45 or 90-degree angle to the wall. With a bay window design you can include sections that open, allowing for many ventilation options. More so, bay windows project outside and away from the wall. For this reason, these windows are typically capped with their own small roof or covering. It is also very common for bay windows to surround an interior window seat.

The main difference between bay and bow windows relates to the amount of windows in each single unit and the curve that they form. Bay windows form an arc or polygon, but when that bay window closely approaches an arc, the window is called a bow. Furthermore, bay windows typically consist of three windows joined together and the center window is usually fixed. The side windows are generally operating double-hung or casement windows.
