What’s the difference between bay & bow windows?

Choose the right window for your property

  • Bay Windows

    Bay windows extend the floor space of your property and are characterised by panels that project outward from the home’s exterior. These windows not only enhance the visual appeal of the exterior but also create a more spacious interior room. Installing a bay window may require planning permission.

  • Bow Windows

    Bow windows (pronounced like “bow and arrow”) consist of a number of connected windows that extend outwards from the wall, creating an elegant, curved appearance.

FAQs

Read our full list of FAQs on our FAQ page.

  • What’s the difference between bay and bow windows?

    Bay windows typically consist of three panes, one large central pane with two angled side panes, extending outward from the wall to create a small alcove. Bow windows use four or more panes arranged in a smooth curve for a rounded appearance. Both options provide more space and light but differ in structure and visual impact. Want to learn more?

  • Do bay and bow windows increase natural light?

    Yes, both styles dramatically increase the amount of natural light that enters a room. Their outward projection allows light to stream in from multiple angles, creating a bright, airy interior. This can also enhance your home’s curb appeal and give the illusion of added space inside.

  • Can I add seating or storage beneath bay or bow windows?

    Absolutely. Many homeowners use the space created by bay or bow windows to install window seats, reading nooks, or built-in storage solutions. It’s a charming and practical way to make the most of the additional floor area.
