Types of Bow Windows
Material
Bow windows are versatile and available in our range of casement windows in both PVC and aluminium. You can customise your bow windows to suit your exact taste with your choice of finish and colour. Our bow windows are made to measure at our production facility in Brighouse and we can therefore offer bespoke sizes with various options available when it comes to finishing touches.
Bow Window Styles
Whether you choose a fixed frame, classic side hung or top hung window style your home will benefit from enhanced views and increased natural light. Bow windows are only available in our classic casement window style in your choice of PVC or aluminium.
Bow Window Design
As well as brightening the room – the multiple windows that make up a bow window offer panoramic views. Due to their curved appearance, double glazed bow windows add a bright and spacious feel wherever they are installed. Bow windows are a traditional window option and we have design options available to create Georgian bow windows with grids in your choice of finish and colour.

Bow Window Installation
The frames used in the construction of the bow window are fully reinforced and connected using corner posts. The external sill is welded together to create a continuous sill that runs underneath all the window frames. It is possible to replace an existing flat window with a new bow window or even expand the aperture to create an opening for a wide bow window. If you decide to go down this route, please be aware that a new roof above the bow window section is required.
