What Are Bow Windows?
Bow windows are similar to bay windows in that they extend out from the house, which adds architectural complexity to the curb appeal but also creates interior space. A bow window is sometimes referred to as a curved bay window or compass window, and the main difference between bow and bay is that a bow window is curved while a bay window is more angular. While this isn’t a hard rule, in modern home design, a bay window will often comprise three individual windows—often a picture window bookended by either casement or double-hung windows—whereas a bow window will comprise five or more windows. The more windows, the more subtle the curvature can be.
Signs You Need New Bow Windows
All window products have an expected lifespan, and you should replace them as you near that mark. If you have waited too long or perhaps your windows have worn out quicker than expected, there are some signs to watch for. These include water entering through the window, draftiness, non-superficial damage to the glass or frames, broken cranks, and windows that are difficult to open or close or no longer securable. You should also monitor your energy costs month to month and year to year as rising costs are often linked to the building envelope, and the windows could be the culprit.
The Benefits of New Bow Windows
New bow windows will enhance the curb appeal of your home and add real value to your property. In fact, the typical return on investment for replacement windows is 75% and can be as high as 85%. Replacement windows will make your home more energy efficient and thus more affordable to heat and cool. They will also block more noise and provide you with a quieter and more relaxing home. If you’re adding a bow window or converting to one, then there are also the benefits of a beautiful view, more natural light, and more interior space through which you can decorate or enhance the room.

The Difference Between Bay and Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows are similar in design in that they extend out from the house, but the bay style tends to be more angular whereas the bow style tends to be more curved. A bay will generally be made up of three but sometimes more windows, and the center window will typically be larger than the rest. This isn’t the case with the bow style where there are usually five or more windows, and the individual windows tend to be more uniform in nature.
We Replace and Install All Types of Windows
Bow windows aren’t your only replacement window options with The Window Source. We also install awning, bay, casement, double-hung, garden, impact, picture, single-hung, slider, and geometric windows. Our team installs new windows, and when replacing a window, we can either replace with a similar type of window or convert it to a different style, such as converting a bay window to a bow window.
How we install your new windows
Each old window comes out with its frame, and the new one is built to the measurements of your opening. Before it goes in, we seal the opening with our Leak Shield system. That means a flashing membrane over the rough opening, butyl tape at every seam and flange, low-expansion foam in the gap between frame and wall, and a final exterior seal.
Leak Shield comes with every installation at no extra cost, and we back every installation we perform with our lifetime Leak Shield Guarantee.
We will never leave the job without ensuring you have the highest quality windows installed properly and your home is left spotless. We take pride in our work and respect your space, aiming to leave behind one of the cleanest job sites you’ve ever seen.

“I got several quotes, and Jairo was the only one who brought samples and took the time to give us a demonstration. The office stayed in communication with me every step of the way… Edwin’s installation team worked quickly and professionally.”
“Replacing my parents’ original builder-grade windows in their 25+ year old home was one of the best investments they’ve made… They’ve already noticed lower electric bills, less outside noise, and a cooler, more comfortable home that’s much easier to keep at a consistent temperature.”
