Bay Windows and Bow Windows

Bay windows and bow windows may be your solution if you wish that you had more expansive views or better natural light coming through your windows?


What are Bay and Bow Windows?

These are large windows made of several panels of glass to create an outward round or polygon shape. Bow windows have rounded corners, giving a curved appearance to the window. Bay windows are usually made up of 3 separate windows in one framed assembly. This gives more of a polygon shape.

Why Choose Bay and Bow Windows?

Both bay and bow windows can make a room look larger than it is because of the size of the windows. It also helps a room to feel more open. This illusion is possible due to the impressive views that these windows offer. If the room lacks enough natural light, these windows can help bring in more light while distributing that light over a much wider angle.

Why put these windows into Kitchens?

Traditionally, kitchens have small to medium rectangular size windows. These windows are architecturally uninteresting and do not allow much natural light.

More homeowners are interested in having stylish windows that draw attention and allow natural light to fill the room. Homeowners now prefer natural light over fluorescent lighting because it makes the room feel more inviting.
