Keep the character of a bay or bow window
Bay and bow windows are prominent architectural features, so replacement work needs to consider the complete shape, individual window sections, internal angles and the way the feature meets the wall and roof above.
Bay windows
A bay projects from the property with distinct angled or square sections. The replacement configuration should preserve the intended shape while allowing the required opening windows and glazing.
Bow windows
A bow uses multiple window sections to create a curved appearance. The number and width of sections influence the overall look, so the design is considered as one complete feature.
Frame styles, colour and glazing
Bay and bow replacements can be discussed alongside the same broader choices as other replacement windows, including frame style, colour, opening arrangement and privacy or decorative glazing where required.
- Existing bay and bow replacements
- Multiple-section configurations
- Opening and fixed-light combinations
- Colour and glazing options
- Coordination with the rest of the property's windows
What we need to see
For an initial conversation, send a straight-on photo and, if possible, an angled photo showing the full bay or bow from outside. Final sizes and specification should be based on a proper survey rather than photographs alone.
Frequently asked questions
Can a bay window include opening sections?
Yes, configurations can combine opening and fixed sections depending on the design and requirements of the opening.
Can the new bay or bow match my other windows?
Frame style, colour and glazing can be considered with the rest of the property so the overall appearance is coordinated.
