A soft curve of glass.
A bow window sweeps outward in a gentle curve of four to six panes, giving a graceful look, wide views and extra interior space.
- Shape: Gentle curve, four to six panes
- View: Wide and sweeping
What it is, and why it matters.
A bow window uses several narrower windows joined in a curve, forming a rounded projection. It offers a wider view than a bay, a softer look and often more usable space inside.
We plan the support and roof, choose the number of panes and the operable units and seal the joints between the panes. A bow is a focal point from the street, so we pay attention to proportions and trim.
Four things done right.
A graceful look
The curve softens a flat wall.
Wide view
More panes mean a wider panorama.
Usable depth
The projection adds room for a seat or plants.
Careful detailing
Roof, flashing and joints get the same care as the glass.

Bow Window Installation: common questions
Is a bow window more expensive than a bay?
Usually, since it has more panes and a more complex build. Ask for both quotes, and we will show the difference.
Can I add a seat to a bow window?
Yes. The projection naturally supports a window seat, and we can build the seat top.
