Bay & bow windows that bring more light and character
Enhance your home with professionally surveyed and installed bay and bow windows across Brighton, Hove and Sussex.
Bay & Bow Window Replacement
Preserve one of the most distinctive features of your home
Bay and bow windows can completely change the character of a room. By projecting beyond the main wall of the property, they create a wider outlook, allow light to enter from several directions and can make the room feel larger.
They are also an important architectural feature on many homes across Brighton, Hove and Sussex, so replacing an existing bay is about more than simply changing the glass. The proportions, frame layout and overall appearance all matter.
Sussex Window Works can replace existing bay and bow windows or advise on suitable window arrangements as part of a wider renovation project.
Why Choose Bay & Bow?
Bay and bow windows Brighton homeowners can enjoy every day
More light, a wider outlook and a feature that adds depth and character to the property.
More natural light
Multiple glazed faces allow daylight to enter the room from different directions throughout the day.
Wider views
The angled or curved arrangement gives a broader outlook than a conventional flat window.
Architectural character
A well-proportioned bay can be one of the defining exterior features of a traditional Sussex property.
Modern performance
Modern frames and glazing can improve thermal comfort, security and weather resistance over older installations.
Choice of frame materials
Depending on the project, bay and bow windows can be configured using different frame materials and finishes.
Made for the opening
Bay windows require careful surveying because the angles, supporting structure and individual window sizes all need to work together.
Bay or Bow?
Two similar ideas with a different appearance
Both project beyond the wall of the property, but the number and angle of the window sections create a noticeably different look.
Bay Windows
Stronger angles and defined sections
A traditional bay window normally uses a central window with angled side sections, creating a more defined projection from the front of the building.
- Distinctive angled appearance
- Common on period properties
- Excellent for window seats and deep reveals
- Can incorporate different opening sections
Bow Windows
A softer, more curved appearance
Bow windows typically use four or more similarly sized window sections to produce a gentler curve and a wider, more panoramic glazed feature.
- Softer curved appearance
- Multiple equal or similar window sections
- Wide panoramic outlook
- Ideal where a gentler projection is preferred
