BAY WINDOWS AND BOW WINDOWS
Bay & Bow windows will open up your room and project light!
Luxury meets affordability with our beautiful Bay replacement windows. Installing a Bay or Bow window in your home adds timeless elegance, as well as boosting curb appeal. Illinois residents have long had an affection for Bay Windows and Springfield area folks share that. Our Bay and Bow windows are sure to make your neighbors swoon!
Bay Windows are made of three panels that are joined together. The window in the middle is parallel with the side of the building on which it is installed, and the other two are angled to meet at the edges of the center window. Bow Windows are constructed with three or more panels and take on a curved shape. The end window panels are usually operable.
Our Bay and Bow Windows are created using Double Hung or Casement Windows for the end windows and putting a large picture window in the center. Our Bay and Bow Windows are custom-made to fit the precise dimensions of your home.
Energy Efficiency
All insert window units inside Bay and Bow frames are foam-wrapped for premier insulation. In addition, double-strength, Low E glass with Argon gas inside the insulating glass units maximizes energy efficiency. Bay and Bow Windows also feature a unique insulated sill design to help them achieve a high R insulating value.
Standard Features
Size Custimization
All projection windows are custom built to exact specifications. Bay windows can be ordered in 30- or 45-degree angles. Bow windows can be three, four or five windows mulled together at 10-degree angles.
Edge Banding
For professional looking installation, premium edge banding covers unfinished plywood edges to allow interior casing to be installed with a reveal.
Real Wood Trim
The interior wood moldings break up the bland commercial appearance of similar vinyl trimmed units by adding warmth and craftsmanship.
Premium Grade Hardwood
Plywood Construction Head, seat and jambs feature furniture-grade 1-1/4″ hardwood veneer plywood in either Red Oak (for staining) or Birch (for painting).
Knee Braces
For added support and a traditional exterior appearance, each window comes with primed knee braces.
Premium Hanger Kit
Every Bay and Bow window comes standard with an industry leading cable hanger system. Each hanger kit is ATI tested to hold 3000 lbs. of load with zero slipping of the cable or sag of the window. When combined with our unmatched frame construction this hanger system will assure that your new window remains a long-lasting, trouble free addition to your home.

DESIGN FEATURES
Solid LSL® Mullions & Continuous All-Thread Construction
LSL® mullions are stronger than standard wood and will not warp or twist, adding unprecedented structural stability. In addition, the LSL® mullions have an all-thread connection running through them from top to bottom. This creates a super strong connection and eliminates the potential for a sagging seat board over time.
Rabbet Connection of Jambs
To increase overall structural integrity and product stability during shipment, jamb boards feature rabbet connections to the head and sill.
Seamless Nose Molding & Snap Design
Fabrication of the head and sill vinyl cladding provides projection windows with a seamless and water-tight exterior cladding. The moldings consist of a two-part snap system that prevents water penetration at the sill and eliminates the need for exposed sealant in both areas.
Offset Insulated Sill Design
A 1-1/2” insulated panel is attached to the hardwood plywood seat board to create a 2-3/4” sill with a high R insulating value. In addition, the offset sill design creates an overhang that deflects water away from the unit. The appearance of this design greatly enhances the aesthetic value of any projection window.
Continuous All-Thread Rods
Ordinarily, projection windows are constructed using hollow vinyl mullions and an all-thread, or a solid wood mullion connected by lag bolts, screws, or clips. Our Bay and Bow windows are manufactured with both solid wood mullions and a continuous all-thread rod running through the mullion. This continuous all-thread construction is a strong and stable connection that prevents warping or sagging of the window frame over time. In addition, it also minimizes condensation problems commonly associated with vinyl mullions.
