Bow Window

Similar to Bay windows, you’ll get a beautiful view of the outdoors with a Bow window. If you have a garden in your front or back yard or enjoy “people watching,” then Bow windows are a stylish option. With additional natural light through these large windows, you’ll invite plenty of Vitamin D, and your home’s aesthetic appeal will undoubtedly improve with all of that sunlight! These windows are also more customizable than other types when it comes to their height and the different levels of “lite” (separately framed panes of glass). Bow windows can be fixed (shut) or configured to include different operating lites to allow openings.

You may look at a Bow Window and mistake it for a Bay Window. The Bow window receives its name from the curvature. They are immediately focal points in your home’s exterior.

While bay windows typically have three openings, a bow window has four or five, with a more curved look. Bow windows provide even more natural light into your home with the additional glass and can even wrap around a building for a unique look.

Additional seating or storage space is available on a bow window on the interior, as the structure protrudes from the building.

You may also prefer to have a roof for the bowed area and have many options, including shingles, metal or copper for bow windows. Bow windows typically include multiple casement windows that can be opened. Your home can maintain airflow and ventilation with the beautiful exterior appearance of a curved bow window structure.
