What Is a Bow Window?

Bow windows are curved windows that jut out beyond the face of the home or building. They were first used in England during the eighteenth century and became popularized in the United States during the Federalist architectural period that followed the American Revolution. The bow style is typically made up of four or more individual windows, and casement windows are a common choice for those. Bow windows allow for ample natural light and also expand the space available within the interior area.

How Does a Bay Window Differ From a Bow Window?

Bow and bay windows are similar in that they extend out from the home to provide architectural appeal while also providing more interior space. The difference is that a bay window is typically made up of three smaller windows: usually a picture window at the center with either casement or single- or double-hung windows on each side. Bow window installation, on the other hand, involves four or more windows. These windows tend to be smaller and uniform. The more windows used, the smoother the curve can be, and as mentioned, you can even extend a bow window around the corner of a home.

Is It Time to Replace Your Windows?

It’s never too soon to schedule a bow window installation if you want to enhance your home, but if you’re considering replacing an old bow window, then it comes down to age and condition. Victory advises homeowners to know the expected lifespan of a window and to replace it proactively before they reach that point because it’s better to schedule a window replacement six months too early than a day too late. You should watch for any wear that may indicate it’s time to replace the window. This can include draftiness, moisture, difficulty opening and closing, and damage to the glass and/or frame.
