Bow Windows

A majestic window design that doubles as a perfect spot for relaxation or reading.

Bow windows are a distinguished addition to any home, creating an attractive turret effect on the exterior and bathing the interior in natural light while offering expansive outdoor views. Ideal for crafting a cozy reading nook, window seat, or a striking focal point within your home, bow windows provide both style and functionality.


Highly versatile, bow windows are constructed by combining three to six windows of various styles, such as casement and double-hung. They offer a timeless way to enhance the sophistication of your living space.

Installing bow windows can be intricate. Choose a professional window installer like JR Doors and Windows for expert guidance and installation of your new bow windows.


Bay Windows vs. Bow Windows – What’s the Difference? Deciding between bay and bow windows can be challenging due to their similarities. Both add charm and additional space to your home. However, bow windows are generally larger and feature a more rounded curvature compared to the angular design of bay windows. While bay windows usually include a large picture window in the center, bow windows typically consist of multiple windows of the same style.

Bow windows are traditionally associated with classic home designs but can be adapted for modern aesthetics. Consult with a designer from JR Doors and Windows to find the perfect style for your home.

Benefits of a Bow Window

  • Enhanced Natural Light

    Bow windows consist of multiple panes arranged in a gentle curve, allowing more natural light to enter your home. This brightens your interiors and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room.

  • Panoramic Views

    The unique curved design of bow windows offers expansive, unobstructed views of the outdoors. Whether you’re overlooking a garden, a scenic landscape, or a bustling street, bow windows bring the beauty of the outside world into your home.

  • Increased Interior Space

    Bow windows extend outward from your home, creating additional interior space. This extra nook can be used for a cozy reading area, a place to display plants or decorative items, or even additional seating

  • Improved Ventilation

    With multiple operable panels, bow windows can be customized to allow for improved airflow. This feature helps maintain a fresh and comfortable environment within your home.

  • Boosted Curb Appeal

    Bow windows are a classic architectural feature that adds elegance and character to the exterior of your home. Their distinctive design can significantly enhance your home’s curb appeal, making it more attractive and potentially increasing its value.

  • Energy Efficiency

    Our bow windows are crafted with energy efficiency in mind. The high-quality materials and advanced design help insulate your home, keeping it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, ultimately reducing your energy bills.

Styles of Bow Windows

Bow windows have been a popular architectural element since the 15th century, evolving in style and variety over the centuries. You can select from different angles, window styles, and architectural features to tailor your bow windows to your preferences. They are commonly supported at angles ranging from 45 to 150 degrees.


A particularly elegant variation is the oriel bay window, which extends from the building and is supported by brackets, typically seen on higher floors.
