What's the difference between bay & bow windows?

Choose the right window for your property

Bay Windows

Bay windows extend the floor space of your property and are characterised by panels that project outward from the home's exterior. These windows not only enhance the visual appeal of the exterior but also create a more spacious interior room. Installing a bay window may require planning permission.

They extend from the wall at angles ranging from 25-90 degrees. A bay window may not always be as wide as a bow window but the generous amount of floor space creates an open and inviting atmosphere within the room.

Bow Windows

Bow windows (pronounced like "bow and arrow") consist of a number of connected windows that extend outwards from the wall, creating an elegant, curved appearance.

Bow windows are usually supported underneath by a 'gallows bracket' and don't generally require planning permission, as only the window itself extends out from the wall. The unique curved, symmetrical shape of bow windows leads to considerably more natural light entering the room and enhances the overall aesthetics of the property.
