Bay windows
Although they are popular in certain homes, older models and some newer designs, Bay Windows are not very often used or seen in many properties. This type of design is often associated with Victoria architecture that had first achieved popularity in the 1870’s, commonly used to provide the illusion of a larger room. In addition to the cosmetics of the window, Bay Windows are also used to increase the flow of natural light into a building, as well as provide views of the outside that would be more difficult to obtain with conventional or flat windows.
In selecting the right product for your home, you will find that Bay Windows come in a variety of shapes, heights, colours, angles and designs. Although each one of these designs is meant to ultimately provide with a better view of the outside, a decorative look on the inside, and the notion of a bigger space within a room, you must also consider how they affect the look and style of your home on the inside and the outside. The composition of these windows could mean that you have either one solid piece that spans the length of the window, or multiple pieces that can in fact be opened as regular windows.
Generally, you will find that Bay Windows are composed of three different windows that will extend out from the home. These are typically made of one large fixed piece in the middle, in addition to a casement on either side. These casements are the parts of the window that will open up to the outside of the home. Providing the look of an angular bow from the outside, they will accentuate the exterior of your home, and provide for great ventilation and control over the flow of air into the room. The designs are highly energy-efficient and they are easy to secure with double-latches that will ensure security and safety to your home.
When selecting a design for your Bay Windows, keep in mind that by installing such a product in your home, you will also be gaining a little bit of space on the interior of the middle selection. Therefore, we recommend that you select the right product that will allow you to utilize the space, depending on the size, for either some type of decoration or a small sitting area.
