Bay windows and bow windows are a beautiful way to draw attention to your home’s exterior, even though they technically are not single windows. Bay and bow windows are constructed of either operable double hung windows paired with picture windows, or operable casement windows paired with fixed casement windows.
The difference between a bay window vs. a bow window is simple: Comprised of three total windows, a standard bay window requires a larger window flanked on each side by a more narrow window, with each set at an angle. The center and side windows can be fixed, double hung or casement. A bow window is configured of four or more windows of equal size set at angles to create an arched projection. As with a bay window, the individual bow window components can be fixed, double hung or casement.
As a replacement for a set of double hung windows or standard picture window, a bay and bow windows replacement looks amazing in a living room or master suite, with a window seat that provides a great place to sit and read or just enjoy the view.
