Expand Your Room With Bay
and Bow Windows
For a bay window, its glaring differential feature is its number of window
panel; they are usually three in all with the middle one being the largest;
those on the sides, also known as flankers, are closer in while the middle
pane bulges out making it only possible to be pushed out from the exterior;
the flankers may vary in their positioning; they may be double-hung or fixed
depending on how they are installed.
In comparison with Bay windows, Bow windows have about 3 more window
panels all of the same size. Another so obvious difference of Bow windows
from Bay windows is that panels have a curved outline allowing for an even
broader viewing angle. Bow windows are not varied in their placement when
installing them; they are only placed in a fixed or casement position. The
many panels of a Bow window mean that they would give you better
ventilation.
One more nugget you should know about Bay and Bow windows is that they
won’t fit as good installations in all rooms of your home; you’ve got to be
thoughtful and purposeful about which rooms to use them. Naturally, it just
appeals to the mind to enjoy and revel in the realms of the natural
environment while sprawling on your sofa or pausing intermittently to look
far the yonder as you take your meals in the dining room; instinctively these
places and may be your kitchen also, makes the best rooms to have Bay and
Bow windows installed in your home.
