Bow Windows In Canada – Should You Get Them?

Bow windows in Canada are ones that have anywhere between four and five openings. If you’ve ever seen the old Victorian houses in the medieval area, you’ll typically see bay windows installed in them. They kind of remind you of those large haunted houses that you visited as a kid.

Bow Windows In Canada

The structure of bow windows is curved when you’re looking at it from the inside of the home. When you go outside to look at the exterior, it will be curved outward from the home. Sometimes bow windows are referred to as four-lit bow or five-lite bow windows.

Bow windows are characterized by the arc, and the shape of that arc will differ from one set to the next depending on how many windows are used. These types of windows will make your home feel like it has more space in it because of how it juts outward from your home. It’ll also increase the amount of natural lighting that’s able to get in because of the curved design. If you’re wanting to add some Victorian-era design characteristics to your home, bow windows are a wise choice to go with.

Bow Window Installation And Replacement

Doing a window replacement in your home is a good investment that will increase the value of your home. Bow window installation is perfect for those that want a unique window that will curve around an area of the home. They are perfect for installing in corners of a home where you just want to curl up and read a book in.

There are a few different types of bow windows:

  • Three-lite window bow
  • Four-lite window bow
  • Five-lite window bow
  • Six-lite window bow

One thing to note about bow windows is that they are a little pricier than regular windows. You’ll typically be paying over double in comparison to your standard window. The install process of a bow window is known to be more complicated than regular windows and bay windows because they have to tie into your roof and soffit.

If you want to do a window repair or window replacement, consult with a window contractor to get the process started. Bow window installation can be a tricky task for those that have never done it before, and if you’re the DIY type and insist on trying it yourself, you’ll want to approach it very carefully. There are many steps involved in a proper window installation, and not doing one of those steps properly can cause mistakes that will result in increased airflow in your home, among other things.
