Bay & Bow Window Glass Repair
Bay and bow windows project outward from the exterior wall, creating additional interior space and dramatic architectural interest. Bay windows typically consist of a large center picture window flanked by two angled side windows, while bow windows curve outward with four or more equal-sized panels. These premium windows are common in DMV-area homes from colonial to contemporary styles and require specialized expertise for glass repair and replacement.
How It Works
Bay & Bow Window Operation
Bay windows project from the wall at angles, typically 30 or 45 degrees, with a flat center panel and two angled side panels. Bow windows curve outward in a gentle arc using multiple equal-width panels. Both types are supported by structural brackets, cables, or a knee wall, and the roof above is typically finished with copper, shingles, or built-up roofing. Side panels in bay windows are usually casement or double hung windows that open for ventilation.
