Bay Window Prices

Bay windows are often chosen for their ability to make a room appear more spacious. By sitting away from the exterior wall, you’ll be left with a room that seems wider than it actually is. The extra space beneath the window is also useful for storage or creating a comfortable seating area.

When you install bay windows with their three protruding sides, you can enjoy panoramic views. Rather than just seeing straight ahead, the side windows allow you to look out in multiple directions. Bay windows are also fantastic for enhancing natural light and airflow, as they will make your home brighter and a lot more comfortable throughout the year.

While many people choose to install bay windows in the kitchen or living room, they will look just as good in upper storey rooms too. Bay windows are extremely attractive and available in finishes to suit any style of property. Woodgrain finishes can work well in both classic and modern homes as can white or coloured uPVC casings.

There’s also the low maintenance benefits of uPVC bay windows. You won’t ever have to sand, stain or repaint your windows as they are designed to be strong, weather-resistant and long-lasting. In addition to them requiring minimal aftercare, bay windows with uPVC casings are energy efficient and can help to keep your home warmer during the colder months.

In terms of how bay windows operate, they are exactly the same as a normal window because they open and close with the use of a handle. However, they look very different and offer you more benefits than a standard window.

Whether you go for a bay window with 3, 4 or 5 separate glass panels, you have the choice to have two windows opened (one from the centre and one from the side) at one time. That means you’ll be able to let in the cool breeze and natural light from two different directions to help optimise ventilation in your home. A bay window will also leave you with a larger sill area for displaying personal items and house plants.

Instead of choosing a bay window to open up a room and let in more light and air, you can install a bow window. Both window styles look very similar but there are some subtle differences.

Bay windows come with 3 or more glass panels (like a picture window) whereas a bow window will have 4, 5 or 6 panels that are joined together to form a curve. The curved finish creates a semi-circular appearance on the outside of a property. As bay windows are angled and not curved, they can protrude further out from the exterior wall.

Bow windows offer some interior space and tend to be bigger than bay windows. However, bow windows will not provide any extra exterior space and are more suited to traditional homes. Unlike bow windows, bay windows look stunning in any setting and allow extra exterior and interior space.

One of the nice things about selecting uPVC bay windows is that they can be personalised to complement your home. You can start by customising the uPVC casings, which can be coated in a wide variety of colours and woodgrain effects. The windows don’t have to be constructed from plain glass panels either. From decorative leaves and floral designs to all kinds of stylish patterns, there are plenty of beautiful glass options available. Finally, you have the choice of white, black, gold or silver-toned handles to complete the overall look of your bay window.
