Michigan is a state featuring a great deal of natural beauty. With so much of nature around them, homeowners in the Great Lakes State like to see it as much as possible. Depending on its location, a home there is likely to feature a lot of windows to let in all of the state’s scenic wonders. Bay windows, for example, are particularly notable for opening a home’s main walls to what’s going on in Michigan’s great outdoors.
Bay windows are windows that project outwards from a home or other building’s main walls. Their outward projection forms what’s called a “bay”, and they’re often made up of three separate joined, or mulled sections. These attractive windows also come in many different styles and heights and sit inside a home’s walls at angles. Most homeowners, whether in Michigan or elsewhere, opt to have their mulled windows set in place at 90-degree or greater angles to form bays.
Michigan homeowners have their choice of a seemingly limitless number of bay window styles. Most makers and installers of bay windows recommend installing a style that best reflects and enhances the architecture of a home. Canted bay windows, in which a flat front window gains support on both sides by an angled window, are particularly eye-catching.
The great thing about bay windows is that pre-existing flat windows in your home’s main walls can sometimes serve as the foundation. It’s also relatively easy to install these windows in some cases at a cost that won’t kill your pocketbook.
It’s also best to use a professional contractor such as Renewal by Andersen Midwest when you install or upgrade windows in your home. If you think your Michigan home is ready for the scenic views that bay windows make possible, contact us today.
