Bay Windows
Bay windows are the quintessential projection window, made of three window units joined together at sharp, distinct angles (typically 30 or 45 degrees). This angular structure projects dramatically outward from your home, creating a deep interior ledge that is perfect for seating, plants or décor. They often feature a large fixed picture window in the center flanked by two smaller operating windows for ventilation.
Bow Windows
Bow windows create a graceful, sweeping curve that projects outward from your home. This style is designed using four, five or six individual windows of the same size, which are assembled to form a smooth, rounded arch. Bow windows offer a panoramic viewing area that projects less aggressively than a bay window, providing a sophisticated, soft aesthetic for your interior and exterior.

Bay & Bow Windows FAQs
What are bay and bow windows?
Bay and bow windows are a beautiful, traditional choice when designing your home or replacing existing windows. These styles use 3-6 window panes to create a 3D arc effect that protrudes from the exterior wall of your home.
What is the difference between bay windows and bow windows?
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.
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.
