What Are Bay Windows?
An easy way to think of a bay window is a picture window in the center with one smaller window directly at each side on an angle. Another great feature of the bay window is the added shelf space that can be utilized for collectibles, books, papers, candles, or anything else you can imagine. It's perfect for showcasing those seasonal decorations to the neighborhood.
Main Differences between Bay and Bow Windows
There are some key differences between bay and bow windows that you should be aware of while your making your decision.
Construction: A bay window has sharper angles and sticks out past the outer wall of your home while the bow window has a more smooth curved look.
Building: Since bay windows stick out farther than bow windows, if you only have a limited amount of space between landscaping features or property lines, bow windows are the better choice.
Flooring: Bay windows can be built to include boxed window seats which are an amazing architectural feature but also a great functional design for relaxing and enjoying the view.
Lighting: Bow windows perform better in bringing in natural light from the outside. This is because bow windows are designed with less frame structures that typically block light.
Ventilation: Bay windows can be opened to let fresh air into the home while bow windows cannot be opened.
