DESCRIPTION
Vinyl bow windows are a series of four or more adjoining window units, commonly five in number, installed on a radius from the wall of the building. All units can be stationary, operating or any combination. Vinyl bow windows provide expansive views and create another dimension to your home. They can also be accompanied by an elegant window seat, breakfast nook or plant ledge. Furthermore, bow windows are welcomed by homeowners and frequently called for by architects because of their grand, sweeping curves, which can turn a standard window opening into an appealing architectural enhancement. They do not project outward as far as Bay windows and have more glass panels and softer, more rounded angles.
The Performance ratings are dependent on the type of windows selected to be part of the Bow.
