Energy-efficient windows don’t need as much energy to heat your home as traditional products do, which means savings on your bills and year-round comfort.
Bay and bow windows are a classic option when designing or replacing windows for your home. Both styles protrude from the wall of your home, adding a 3-dimensional element.
While these two popular window styles offer many of the same aesthetics and benefits, what makes them different is the size and 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.
Besides bringing natural light into your home, bay and bow windows can boast these benefits:
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.
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.
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!
