What Is A Bay Window ?
A Bay window is a window space projecting outward from the main walls of a home, forming a bay in the room either square or polygonal. Bay windows became popular around the 1870's with the rise in Victorian architecture.
A bay window can create the illusion that your room looks and feels bigger than it really is, especially with a great view behind it. Bay windows can also feature a bench or seating area, located in the living room or the kitchen of your house.
Bay Window Features:
Replacement Bay Windows can be made with either double hung or casement windows on the ends. You also have the option of having colonial style grids between the glass or a wood grain laminate interior in light oak or cherry.
Our Bay Windows come standard with an oak frame and insulated seat board.
Bay Window Installation:
Installing a Bay window take at least a day to day and a half. This includes re trimming the interior and exterior of the window and discarding the old bay window.
Many companies will use knee braces under the bay window for support. Supporting and leveling your new bay window is probably the most important part of the installation.
If the window is not properly supported it will settle over time and the end operating lites will not open or close properly. Knee braces alone are not a proper support for a bay window, at Suburban Windows we use a very strong cable support system that ties into the overhang or wall that keep the window from settling.
This will cause drafts and water to enter the home. It is also critical that the top of the bay window is properly flashed. Sometimes a roof is required to be built over the window to keep the water form entering but if you have an overhang above it can be tied into the overhang.
