Bay & Bow Windows — Add Dimension and Light to Any Room
Projecting window assemblies that create additional interior space, capture light from multiple angles, and add stunning architectural character to your home.
What Are Bay & Bow Windows?
Bay and bow windows project outward from the exterior wall, creating a three-dimensional window assembly that captures light from multiple angles and adds usable interior space. Bay windows typically consist of a large center picture window flanked by two angled side windows (usually casement or double-hung), creating a trapezoidal projection. Bow windows use four or more windows arranged in a gentle curve, creating a rounded projection. Both types add architectural interest to the exterior, create a natural window seat or display area inside, and bring significantly more light into the room than a flat window of the same wall width.
At Revival Windows, we custom-design and install bay and bow windows that complement your home’s architecture while delivering the same energy efficiency and warranty protection as our entire product line.
Why Bay & Bow Windows Matter for Your Home
Bay and bow windows transform both the interior and exterior of a home. Inside, they create a sense of depth and openness that flat windows cannot achieve. The additional interior space is perfect for a cozy window seat, a plant display, or simply a wider sill for decorative items.
The multi-angle design captures light from three or more directions, brightening the room throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky. Outside, bay and bow windows add significant architectural character and curb appeal — they’re one of the most visually impactful window upgrades a homeowner can make.

Technical Details & Specifications
Bay windows project at 25° or 35° angles from the wall, with a center picture window and two angled side windows. Bow windows use 4-6 windows arranged in a gentle arc, typically at 10° increments. Both types include a structural support system (cable support or knee bracket depending on the installation), an insulated roof cap with matching roofing material, and an insulated seat board.
All component windows feature the same glass packages and frame options as our standard product line.
What to Expect for Bay & Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows are premium installations that include structural support, roofing, and finishing in addition to the windows themselves. Because every installation involves unique structural considerations, we provide detailed quotes during a free in-home consultation after assessing your specific wall structure and design goals. The investment reflects the dramatic transformation these windows deliver — both in appearance and home value.
