Bow windows

Four to six equal windows set in a soft arc. A bow takes in a wider view than a bay and gives the outside of the house a graceful curve.

How it works.

  1. Four to six windows in a curve.

    Each window is the same width and set at a slight angle to the next one.

  2. Open the ends.

    Any of them can open or stay fixed. Most people open the ends.

  3. A wider view than a bay.

    A bow takes in more of the shoreline or the street than a bay does.

  4. From outside.

    We fit the trim to your house, whether it's siding, brick, shake or stone.

What's in each window.

Your furnace's heat hits the coating and bounces back into the room.

Bow window in a home

Where it works best.

  • Front rooms

    It stands out on the front of the house.

  • Panoramic views

    Takes in a wider sweep than any flat window.

  • Older homes

    A curve looks at home on traditional architecture.

  • Large walls

    Fills a wide wall that a bay would leave looking small.

Bow questions.

How many windows do I need in a bow?

Usually four to six, depending on the width of the wall. We'll sketch it at your free measure.

Do all of them open?

They can, but most people open the end units and leave the center ones fixed.

Bow or bay for a lake view?

A bow usually, since the curve takes in a wider sweep with less interruption.

Does a bow add floor space?

It adds some, and usually less depth than a bay, but over a wider area.
