Bay Windows

A bay window is similar to a bow window and is a type of projection window – meaning it projects outward from your home’s exterior. Bay windows are made up of a series of windows, consisting of one large picture window flanked by windows on each side. These side windows can be casement windows, double hung windows or fixed picture windows like the center one.

Benefits of Bay Windows

Modern Design

Bay windows offer a breathtaking outward curving design that adds substantial beauty to your home. With beautiful glass, hardware and interior wood grain styling options, you are sure to enjoy the dramatic statement your bay window makes.

Enjoy the View

With a bay window, you get the benefit of an unobstructed view to the outside that a picture window offers. Plus, the option of operable windows on either side of the picture window still allows for great ventilation to your home without compromising the view.

Additional Uses for Bay Windows

Since bay windows extend past the wall of your home, they create a bay seat or ledge area. Not only do you gain gorgeous views with the bay window, but also additional seating with the seat board option for your window.

How a Bay Window Operates

A bay window typically consists of one stationary window bordered by two operable windows.  You have the option between casement windows or double hung windows. Casement windows open outward and are operated by a hand crank. Double hung windows slide up and down.

Common Applications for Bay Windows

Since bay windows add a lot of aesthetic beauty and curb appeal to the front of a home, this window is best suited for a room with a view facing your front yard.
