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.
