Bay and Bow Windows

Bow and bay windows are popular architectural features that enhance both the appearance and functionality of a home. A bow window extends outward from the outer wall but does not require brickwork below to follow its shape. Generally curved, bow windows can occasionally take on a rectangular design, creating a softer, rounded exterior and allowing abundant natural light to fill the space.

In contrast, a bay window also protrudes from the outer wall but incorporates brickwork beneath to support its structure. This design increases interior floor space and provides a sense of openness. Bay windows are typically rectangular with squared or angled ends, though they can also be curved for a more elegant appearance.

Both styles bring panoramic views and a bright, airy feel to a room. To ensure durability and protection against weathering, both bay and bow windows require a small roof or canopy installed above their structure.
