Between bow and bay windows, the latter is more popular because it has been a quintessential part of traditional homes. Many homeowners love this particular style for its aesthetics and unique appearance, but its benefits aren’t purely cosmetic.
In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey discusses the other benefits of installing a bay window in your home.
Extra Space
Bay windows are a functional choice for window replacement since they add extra space and dimension to your home. This window juts out from the wall, reclaiming physical space. It’s common to find homes with bay windows that double as a rest area, storage area and even a small bookshelf.
This window also physically extends your room’s floor space, making it ideal for smaller rooms as they add dimensional space
More Natural Light
Bay windows are essentially three windows in one, which means you get more natural light entering your home. Since the construction of the side windows are angled in a certain way, you get light from all directions. We recommend this particular style if you want to effectively daylight your rooms.
Better Exterior Views
More windows equals more exterior views, and the way this particular style is built together means you get wider and larger landscapes. The bay window itself doubles as an exterior wall ornament due to its unique appearance, and can easily become the focal point of your interior.
More Ventilation
Finally, the large size of the bay windows means it’s one of the best window styles to pick if you’re looking to improve the ventilation in your rooms. Some bay windows even have operational side windows, which allows you to enjoy the breeze from two directions instead of just one. These unique features make it one of the few window styles that rival the sliding window in terms of ventilation.
