What Are Bay Windows?
A modern bay window is a type of projection window that extends outward from your home’s exterior. Unlike a standard flat window, a bay window is made up of a series of three panels: one large center picture window flanked by two side windows. These side units can be configured as casement windows, double hung windows, or fixed picture windows to match your specific style. Feldco has the expertise to help you with professional bay window replacement tailored for the unique architecture of the Midwest.
How They Operate
The functionality of a bay window depends on the options you choose for the flanking sashes. The center window is stationary, providing an expansive view, while the side windows are typically operable to allow for fresh air. If you choose casement side windows, they open outside via a hand crank; if you choose double hung sashes, they slide up and down. This combination gives you the aesthetic of a large vinyl window with the practical benefit of controlled ventilation.
Benefits of Bay Windows
Modern Design
Bay windows create a focal point that adds curb appeal to any home. Because they project away from the exterior wall, they create a statement and can make even a small room feel spacious and open.
Unobstructed Views & Light
With a new bay window, you get panoramic, unobstructed views that only a picture window can offer. This design provides your home with natural light from multiple angles.
Functional "Bay Seat" Space
Since these windows extend past the footprint of your wall, they create a built in ledge or "bay seat" area. This provides additional seating or a perfect shelf for plants or decor, adding more usable square footage to your living space.
Ideal Locations for Bay Windows
Bay windows are a premier choice for rooms where you want to maximize a view and create a focal point. They are most commonly seen in living rooms or dining areas facing the front yard to boost curb appeal. They are also a popular choice for a kitchen, where the additional ledge space is perfect for an indoor herb garden. While less common in a basement, a bay window can be used in a walk-out lower level to transform a dark space into a bright, inviting room.
