Comparison ## Bay vs. Bow: What's the Difference? ### Bay Windows Typically 3 units with angled sides (30° or 45°). Creates a deeper projection and a more defined, angular architectural look. ### Bow Windows Usually 4-6 units joined at shallower angles (10° or 15°). Creates a gentle, sweeping curve for a softer, elegant appearance. ### Common Ground Both systems extend outward, add space, and can be configured with any combination of fixed and operable windows. Customization ## Color Options Standard white is included, but we also offer a wide range of Gentek® and Kaycan® standard paint colours to match your home's exterior.

Yes. Because they project outward, they require proper support. We use a heavy-duty cable support system anchored to your home's framing to ensure stability and prevent sagging. ### Can I replace a flat window with a bay window? In most cases, yes. However, it may require structural modifications and a new roof skirt. Our experts can assess your specific situation during a consultation. ### Are the flanker windows operable? Typically, yes. Most homeowners choose to make the side (flanker) windows operable (casement or single-hung) for ventilation, while keeping the center large unit fixed for the view.
