Aztech Performance Series Bay and Bow Windows.

Besides adding elegance to your home both bow and bay windows add some valuable space that can be used for larger plants, figurines, or as a well-lit sitting area in case it is a walk-out.

The Bay window is typically composed of three windows. The two side units (flankers) are normally either casement or hung windows, while the middle unit is a large fixed window. The side units of a bay window are normally projected at 45° or 30° angles, however other angles are available as well.

The bow window has a half-moon shape. It is composed of four or more equal-sized vinyl window units. One unit on each end of the bow window is normally a casement while the others are fixed windows, however, bow windows entirely comprised of fixed windows are also available.

Annealed
Annealed Glass
Annealed glass is made using a slow cooling process to increase durability and prevent shattering. When it does break, it splits into sharp, irregular shaped pieces.
Tempered
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass goes through a controlled thermal process in manufacturing to change its structure. When it breaks, it fractures into small harmless fragments with relatively rounded edges.
Laminated
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is composed of two or more layers of glass with an interlayer of plastic, providing resistance to shattering upon impact. When it breaks, the interlayer holds it together preventing fragment dispersal.

FAQ On Bay and Bow Windows

What is a bay window?

A bay window is a three sectioned window that bows outward. The center window is a picture window and on either side of the picture window is another style of window. The side windows are usually the same type of window. Bay windows are usually canted (angled/oblique line or surface particularly which cuts off a corner) at most commonly 15, 30 or 45 degrees.

What is a bow window?

A bow window is an arc-shape window structure with at least 4 windows that are usually fixed, or casement windows. They have all of the benefits of bay windows – more space, lots of use possibilities, great lighting, better view, and increased home value.

What is the difference?

The basic difference between bay windows & bow windows are how many sections each style of window has. Another difference is that bay windows consist of a picture window at the center with two different windows on both sides. A bow window uses the same style of window in each section, and the whole structure is rounded. You’ll see that bay windows have hard angled sections.

Wall size is an important consideration. Bay windows typically work best on large walls with at least 6.5 feet of space to spare. While it might be possible to order bay windows for smaller openings, packing so many individual windows into one tight area can look busy. These smaller walls would look more natural with a bay window. For very large window openings, bay windows can look out of place. For the window to avoid jutting out too far into the yard, the center pane would have to be very large. In these cases, a bow window’s gentle curve makes the most sense.

Pros and Cons for Bay and Bow windows?

Bay and Bow windows can be expensive to install, take up room in the area outside of the window, be difficult to find treatments for, and can be too small for anything useful except pots and plants. You will need some space and budget to utilize a bay or bow window.
However, both bay and bow windows increase square footage, add value to your house, increase natural light quite a bit, add ventilation, and can add various uses like a daybed, read nook, shelving, a cat’s watching spot, and more.

When is it a good idea for Bay or Bow windows?

Bow and bay windows are a good idea when you want to increase space, improve your view, improve your natural lighting, add to the look of the house, or create a space to be used for a specific reason – seating, accent a room, storage. Bow windows are a better idea than bay windows when you want more light, to make the room look larger than a bay window could, and have varying window pane sizes.

However, where budget is a concern, bay windows win head-to-head in every aspect. Bay windows are not only less expensive to purchase, but they typically also require less time to install, meaning the overall cost is lower than bow windows.

Are bay and bow windows harder to break into?

Bay and bow windows are very secure because they don’t open. The sections that do open are casements, which are also secure. In this regard, casement windows can be considerably harder to break into because of three key features:

  1. The frame on a casement window is tightly sealed when it’s closed and latched.
  2. Casement windows can only be opened from inside.
  3. A casement window cannot be forced open from the outside, even with the help of a crowbar.
