Bay & Bow Window Installation in Fort Worth, TX
Transform a flat wall into an architectural showpiece. Bay and bow windows project outward, creating additional interior space perfect for reading nooks, plant displays, or simply enhancing your Fort Worth home's curb appeal and property value.
Bay vs Bow: Understanding the Difference
Bay Windows
Bay windows typically consist of three individual windows arranged at angles. The center window is usually a large picture window flanked by two operable casement or double-hung windows at 30 or 45-degree angles.
Best For:
- • Traditional and colonial Fort Worth homes
- • Dining rooms and breakfast nooks
- • Creating defined sitting areas
- • Maximizing ventilation with side windows
Bow Windows
Bow windows feature four to six windows arranged in a gentle curve, creating a more rounded projection. They provide an elegant, softer appearance and often offer more interior space than bay windows.
Best For:
- • Victorian and European-style architecture
- • Master bedrooms and living rooms
- • Panoramic views of Fort Worth landscapes
- • Creating curved window seats
