A bay/bow window is an arrangement of three or more individual window units. Bay windows can be crafted from uPVC, timber or aluminium to fit with the style of any property. Bay/bow windows allow you to enjoy panoramic views of your outside space and are a perfect place to relax. Adding the sense of space and offering more light, due to the extra panes, whilst becoming beautiful feature by proving charming character to your home. With a range of material options and colours to choose from, a bay/bow window can be a unique and inspiring addition to your home.
A bay window and bow window are similar and sometimes difficult to tell apart from the outside but they do have one clear difference :-
The cost all depends on the size of the aperture and how many windows are required to fill the space. Of more consideration is the quality - low budget options with less reinforcement or poorly fitted can result in structural problems that cause the window to distort, crack and even leak over time.
Both bay and bow windows are designed to increase the space and light you get in your home. Bay windows are often simpler in design with just three panels, and at any or all of these panels will be able to open. Bow windows are usually smaller and thinner to create that curved effect, so although they will be able to open, it may just be a section of the window pane that opens rather than the full section.
Bay and bow windows can significantly increase your home value, as not only do they add extra light into your property, they create more space as well. This added square footage gives you the potential to use that space in different ways. The added window space means the room will get more light, regardless of which direction the window is facing, and gives you a 180 degree view from your property.
