Bow & Bay Windows
Bow and bay windows are the darlings of the San Francisco replacement window industry. A bay window is usually angular with three glass panels; a bow window features more glass panels for a more curved appearance. They both make rooms feel more spacious and allow ample sunlight to brighten up your home. Each bow or bay window can be modified with a seating or storage option for additional comfort and space. These expansive window styles are an elegant way to improve your view and increase the square footage of your home.
Create Drama & Dimension
Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco can easily install a bow or bay window to replace original flat windows to make a room feel larger without the expense and hassle of drastic remodeling.
A bay window extends outward from the wall, creating additional interior space that can be used for a reading nook or additional storage. These units often include a center picture window flanked by casements or double-hung windows for ventilation. A bow window combines four or more windows for a gentler curve. The window panels may be fixed, double-hung or casements, depending on your ventilation needs.
