Bay & Bow Windows FAQs
What is a bay window?
Both bay and bow windows extend outwards from the home, creating a 3 dimensional impression. Bay windows typically consist of three windows. The middle window is often static, while the windows on the sides offer ventilation. Bay windows are defined by the sharp angles between the windows and their geometric appearance.
What is a bow window?
Bow windows are often made up of more than three window panes with more subtle angles that give them a unique, rounded appearance.
How are bay windows constructed?
Bay windows are composed of three windows that come together to form a single complete unit. The middle window is often a fixed, picture window that allows for a wide, unobstructed view. The windows on either side are typically double-hung or casement style windows that can be opened and closed for ventilation.
How can you decorate a bay window?
Bay windows offer the opportunity for a wide range of design elements and unique styles. That being said curtains are the most popular and arguably the best-suited window treatment for bay windows.
How can you decorate a bay window ledge?
Bay and bow windows offer a wide ledge that is ripe for decoration. The opportunities are endless, but some common decor elements include decorative pillows and cushions, plants, candles, lamps, and more!
What is the difference between bay windows and bow windows?
What makes bay and bow windows different is the number of window panes in the configuration.
Bay windows feature either a three-pane or box design, typically with one “picture window” in the center and a smaller window pane on either side.
Bow windows are a similar structure but are made of four to six panes of angled glass in the same size.
Each bay and bow window is custom-made to perfectly fit the open space in your home and give it a one-of-a-kind look. Their dimensionality creates a dramatic new look for your interior, perfect for a reading area or breakfast nook.
