When you’re replacing your windows, bay or bow windows are not only beautiful additions to your home, but functional ones as well. Classic bay windows add instant elegance to any home, while bow windows provide character with homey appeal. With room for window seating inside, these replacement windows add a little space to your home in a place where you can enjoy natural light and the beauty of the outdoors.
Bay Windows
A bay window is usually three panels set at slight angles so the window projects from your home, forming a “bay” within the room where it is installed. They offer unique views outside that you wouldn’t receive with a standard flat window, and when large enough provide a reading nook or seating area. The traditional bay window has a larger window as the center pane, with two smaller windows at either side that are angled back towards the walls of your house.
Bow Windows
Bow windows are composed of several casement window panels joined in a gentle curve. They can span most of a wall in both width and height, providing a striking view from both inside and out. When combined with patio doors, bow windows make for a stunning entrance.
Advantages
Bow and bay windows have the benefits of a picture window and its associated views while adding seating space, and can be as close and intimate or wide and airy as you wish. The angles of bay windows can be adjusted to suit your tastes, as can the curve of bows.

When it comes to energy-efficient windows, insulated window glass is a key component for effectiveness. Efficient windows use many technologies and principles to reduce heat transfer between your home and the outside, including thermally-improved frames, low-conductivity materials, and specialized glass. Insulated glass adds the final layer to this combination of measures that creates a highly-efficient end product.
What is Insulated Glass?
Insulated window glass typically consists of two or more panes which are filled with inert gases. These gases don’t conduct heat well, which makes them ideal insulators. By “sandwiching” the gas between window panes, these windows create a barrier for heat energy. Treated glass resists much of the heat it receives from the sun and outdoors, while insulated glass takes things a step further. The inert noble gases used to fill the space between panes, such as krypton or argon, have very low heat conduction potential. They don’t possess free electrons, and their molecules are spaced very far apart relative to solids. Heat is literally stopped cold before it can be transferred through the gas to the interior window panes.
Comfort and Savings
An energy-efficient window that utilizes insulated glass panes won’t transfer heat effectively, and that allows your home’s HVAC system to function using less energy. Heat stays outside your home in the summer, and you won’t lose heat energy in the wintertime. The lack of heat transfer also means that the areas by the windows are as comfortable as the rest of your home—no hot spots or unpleasant drafts to contend with.
