What are bay & bow windows?
Often times customers are confused about the differences between a bow window and a bay window, and rightfully so, they are very similar. Similarly, both windows will project out from your home, creating extra space to the interior of your house.
However, when noting their differences, bay windows typically have a picture window in the middle, with operable side windows; Bow windows are typically four or more windows joined together – creating a curve, where all the windows may have the ability to open in some way.
