Bay Windows vs Bow Windows
While at first glance bay and bow windows might look quite similar, the two types of styles actually have several differences between them. Budget Exteriors installs both types of windows and our team of expert installers are ready to speak with you about what option you think is best for your home. When deciding between bay and bow windows, here are some pointers to consider:
- One of the most differentiating characteristics between the two styles of windows is that a bay window has three windows within it, whereas a bow window typically has four or five.
- The overall structure and shape of the two styles differ, as well. The three windows on a bay window are arranged with a larger window in the center and two smaller windows on either side of it. The bow window has four or five evenly-sized windows extending outward in a smaller curved fashion.
- The structure of a bay window allows it to extend further outward than a bow window.
- Because bow windows have more panels than bay windows, they typically allow more light in.
- If you want to get creative with your window replacement, bay windows are able to be decorated with bay window roofs. They are an excellent choice if you desire the option to customize and enhance the curb appeal of your home.
The decision between a bay window replacement or bow window replacement depends on a variety of factors including available window space, your budget, and your personal preference.
