There is a history behind every type of window for residential homes. One specific type of window with an interesting origin story is the bay window.
Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey-New York Metro, the leading window replacement company, discusses a short history of bay windows.
The Renaissance Period
The bay window was originally designed to cater to the architecture of English mansions built during the Renaissance. It was also a prominent feature in Victorian architecture. It served an ornamental rather than a functional purpose for houses during its early years.
Modern Influence
Bow and bay windows have become popular in both residential homes and commercial buildings. They were heavily favored for buildings built in the early 20th century. In fact, some of the most famous examples of this window style are found on the Manhattan Building, built in 1890. Its diverse influence in classically styled houses remains to this day.
Reinvention
As years went by, bay windows became famous more than just for their style. They had features that could improve home quality such as energy efficiency and UV protection. A bay or bow window also saves spaces, brings more light in, and comes in dozens of customization options.
