Bay Windows & Bow Windows
Creating more natural light into your home.
What are bay & bow windows?
Bay & bow windows are projecting window styles that extend outward from the main walls of your home, creating a sense of space and elegance. Bay windows typically feature three sections with angled sides, while bow windows use four or more panels to form a gentle curve. Both styles allow more natural light to enter, improve views, enhance kerb appeal and can add usable space inside the room.
Explore the different bay & bow windows.
Bay and bow windows come in several distinct styles, each offering a unique look and feel. While all project outward to create extra space and light, the shape and structure of each design can dramatically influence the appearance of your home and the character of the room inside.

Common questions about bay and bow windows
Bay and bow windows make a bold architectural statement, but because they project from the property and come in different materials and styles, homeowners often want clarity before choosing. These FAQs explain how bay and bow windows perform, how the different ranges compare, and what to expect long term.
1. What is the main difference between bay windows and bow windows?
Bay windows usually feature three sections with angled sides, creating a more structured projection. Bow windows use four or more panels to form a gentle curve. Both add space and light, but bow windows create a softer, more panoramic appearance, while bays feel more defined and traditional.
2. Are bay and bow windows suitable for all property types?
Yes. Extreme UPVC and Envisage Flush work well for modern and transitional homes, while Residence windows suit period properties with traditional proportions. Eclipse and Origin aluminium ranges are ideal for contemporary homes seeking slim frames and strong architectural impact.
3. Do bay and bow windows improve energy efficiency?
When properly designed, bay and bow windows can be highly energy efficient. Extreme UPVC and Residence windows use insulated frames and modern glazing, while Eclipse and Origin aluminium ranges use advanced thermal break technology to minimise heat loss.
4. How do Envisage Flush and Residence differ in bay or bow designs?
Envisage Flush offers a cleaner, more modern flush finish with simplified detailing, ideal for contemporary homes. Residence focuses on traditional proportions and heritage styling, making it a popular choice for period properties or conservation-style aesthetics.
5. Are aluminium bay and bow windows strong enough for large projections?
Yes. Eclipse and Origin aluminium windows are particularly well suited to larger bay and bow designs. Aluminiumโs inherent strength allows for slimmer frames and larger glazed areas while maintaining structural stability and long-term durability.
6. Can bay and bow windows be customised across all ranges?
Absolutely. All ranges, including Extreme UPVC, Envisage Flush, Residence, Eclipse and Origin, offer custom colours, glazing options and decorative features. This allows you to tailor the look to suit your homeโs character and personal taste.
7. Are bay and bow windows secure despite their size?
Modern bay and bow windows are designed with security in mind. Opening sections can include multi-point locking, reinforced frames and toughened glass. Aluminium ranges such as Eclipse and Origin also benefit from exceptional frame strength.
8. Are bay and bow windows more expensive than standard windows?
Bay and bow windows typically cost more than flat windows due to their size, structure and bespoke installation. However, many homeowners feel the added space, light, kerb appeal and long-term value offered by Extreme, Residence, Eclipse or Origin ranges justify the investment.
