uPvc Bay and Bow Windows

A bay window is a window space projecting outward from the main walls of a building, forming a bay in a room either square or polygonal in plan. The angles most commonly used on the inside corners of the bay are the recommended 90, 135, 150 degrees. The windows are commonly used to provide the illusion of a larger room, as well as adding an elegant look to a room. They are used to increase the flow of natural light into a building as well as provide views of the outside that would be unavailable with an ordinary window.

A bow window is a curved bay window. Bow windows are designed to create space by projecting beyond the exterior wall of a building, to provide a wider view of the garden or street outside, and typically combine four or more casement windows which join together to form an arch.

JWS bow windows utilise GRP moulded roofs. They improve thermal and accoustic insulation and are maintenance free, simply requiring an occasional clean with warm soapy water.

Creating a bow window from a flat window can normally be done within a matter of hours. However creating a bay window from a flat window requires a bit more work and so takes a bit more time as this type of window goes to the floor like a mini extension. JWS double glazed windows come with a range of options including Chrome, Gold and White multi point locking handles as standard, with the option for different coloured handles available.

All windows can also be manufactured with unique leading to the glass area with colourised filiments to create the ultimate visual accompaniment, and add an attractive look to your home. (Please see our Glass Art pages for more details). For the ultimate money saving window that is unique to your property and your tastes, look no further than JWS Windows.
