What Are Bow & Bay Windows?
Bay windows and bow windows are the best window to really open up your room to a new vista. These windows cover large areas, which means more light!
Both bay and bow windows have distinct advantages over traditional flat windows. Not only do they provide a larger view and wonderful source of light, but they are actually built to protrude out of your home. As such, they dramatically change feel of a room and add substantial space.
Bow Vs. Bay Windows
Bow and bay windows are very similar, but have key differences:
- Bay windows often are made up of three windows of varying sizes.
- Bay windows typically have a large center window flanked by two smaller windows, which are angled from the wall at approximately 30 to 40 degrees and are often double hung to give adequate ventilation.
- The large center window in a bay window allows for a large, unobstructed view and serves as a way to ventilate your room.
- Bow windows are comprised of three to six windows that are all equal size.
- Bow windows can give the space a gradual curved look and feel, whereas the bay design has a sharper angle.
- Bow windows can offer greater ventilation.
- Bow windows can vary in construction, including casement windows, double hung windows, or single hung windows.
