Bay Windows – Replacement And Installation

Bays windows are nice for rooms that don’t have a lot of free space in them because they project outward from the exterior walls. This design will provide a little more much-needed space in smaller rooms. Bay windows will have three openings in them. There will be the main one sitting right in the middle, and then there will be two other tinier windows on each side of it. When you look at bay windows, you might feel like they are a little more vintage than some of the other designs on the market.

In addition, bay windows offer a panoramic view because each of the side windows are situated at an angle of 30 – 40 degrees from the middle window. Bay windows in Canada have a trademark feature that makes them stand out from the rest. All three windows aren’t the same size as each other. The middle centerpiece window will always be the biggest one, and the windows beside it will be about 1/4 of the size of the middle one.
