The Beauty of Bow & Bay Windows

Although bow and bay windows are often thought of as the same thing, they have slight differences. Bay windows are typically comprised of just three windows. Often the center window doesn’t open and is a solid pane of glass, while the two side windows may or may not open. The center window can be the same size or larger than the side windows. You may notice that the angles of the three windows are greater in a bay window than bow, making a bay window the perfect choice for a window seat or indoor garden.

A bow window has four or five windows, all of which typically open. It has a gently arched shape and is most often comprised of casement windows or double-hung windows. The benefit of both is that they add more space and light to a home than a straight window wall. You may even feel that the room is bigger when you add bay or bow windows.
