Bay vs. Bow Windows

Both bay and bow windows project outward from the home, but their panel configurations create different shapes. Below are essential things to know.

What Is a Bay Window? 

A bay window is constructed with three window panels that angle outward to create a pronounced three-dimensional focal point. Bay windows are common in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms.

What Is a Bow Window? 

A bow window features four or more connected window panels, creating a rounded effect that’s often shallower than a traditional bay window.

Either configuration may create an interior area for plants, décor, or seating when the room layout and surrounding construction allow it. The appropriate option depends on the existing opening, available wall space, desired projection, and window design.

Bay & Bow Window Construction

CUSTOM ASSEMBLY
Construction Details
Because these windows project beyond the wall plane, their construction brings together structural support, water management, insulation, and interior finishing. When you choose us to install your windows, the assembly includes the following components.
TimberStrand® Mullion Design
We use solid TimberStrand® laminated strand lumber mullions that are lag-bolted to the head and seat.
Turnbuckle Cable Support
Our adjustable cable support system supports the frame from above with a heavy-duty 6-inch hook and turnbuckle.
Window Panning System
PVC panning profiles wrap around and adhere to the vertical mullions and seat board, creating an interior gutter system for water management.
PVC-Wrapped Exterior
Exterior color options include White, Beige, Sandstone, Classic Bronze, and Coal Black.
Finished Interior Edges
Matching wood edge banding covers the exposed plywood edges of the head, seat, and side jambs.
Furniture-Grade Seat Board
The standard seat board is 1 1/4-inch furniture-grade oak or birch veneer.
Complete Assembly
Standard construction includes the head, side jamb, seat board, side wedge, mull cap, full insulation, and insulation to the jamb.

Exterior colors and interior finishes can be considered alongside the home’s siding, trim, and room design. We review the available selections while developing the custom window specifications.

Our Four-Step Bay & Bow Window Process

FROM DESIGN TO SERVICE
Our Four-Step Process
Our process covers the major decisions involved in designing, manufacturing, installing, and servicing custom windows.
1
CONSULTATION
Our team comes to your home to discuss your goals, take measurements, and design the new windows. The consultation can address the existing opening, projection, support, exterior finish, and interior details.
2
CUSTOM MANUFACTURING
We manufacture our windows in our own North American factories, giving us direct control over the product at each stage.
3
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Our technicians install the windows and treat your home with care and respect throughout the project.
4
AFTERCARE SERVICE
If your windows aren’t functioning as expected after installation, give us a call to request service. We'll be there ASAP to make things right.

Lifetime Window, Installation, & Service Protection

Our lifetime warranty isn’t pro-rated, and it addresses both the window and its installation. That helps avoid uncertainty about whether the manufacturer or installer is responsible for covered service.

The lifetime warranty covers:

  • Leaks and drafts
  • Vinyl and color
  • Glass and seals
  • Parts and screens
  • Window operation
  • Installation labor

We also provide free lifetime service labor for warranty requests and 24-hour personal assistance for warranty service. Coverage transfers to a new owner at no charge. Got questions? Call us at  for the information you need.
