Bay windows

At AM Window & Door Solutions, we have demonstrated to many homeowners the advantages of energy efficient windows and how the costs can be recovered through reduced heating and cooling bills. The costs of the replacement windows will be returned to you over time through savings in energy consumption. The costs of less than energy efficient windows – windows made 10 years ago or more – is staggering when you get right down to the costs associated with windows that have little or no energy efficiency associated with them.
Bay windows
When you install a bay window in your home you are choosing a window that is confident, strong and makes your home the most beautiful on the block. A bay window sits in the middle of the main wall of the front of your home and it receives a great deal of natural light that it beams into your living room. In the past, bay windows have been a rounded sectional window – almost crescent shaped – that protrudes beyond the existing boundaries of the wall it is inserted to. Now, bay windows are more geometric in design and they have a large window panel in the middle with the side windows sitting at an angle to the frame.
Bay windows can add space to your front room via the protrusion as it sits out over the base of the wall. Many bay windows have been designed to accommodate a bench in the centre panel for seating that residents can use to enjoy the view that a bay window provides.
AM Designer Series Bay Windows
Our Designer Series sees this beautiful window as one of the leading options for any home’s replacement windows package. It is easily combined with any window combination to form a cohesive design that demonstrates the flair and creativity of the home’s owners. The bay window holds many features that can add to your home’s décor – it has a variety of brick molds that come with the window, many different wood interior trim features that will sparkle in your main room, and it comes with an option for an insulated head and seat for those winter nights watching the snow fall. The window comes in the standard white colour – but for those who want something different – you can have a myriad of colours to choose from to enhance the look of the exterior of your home.
One of the benefits of the bay window is the fact that it tricks the mind’s eye into thinking that the room is bigger than it is. The protrusion of the window in the middle section provides the appearance of a larger room – and the appearance can change the ambiance of the room.
The design of the bay window allows more natural light to enter the room without compromising the integrity or the size of the design. With three panels of glass ready to accept sunlight, the reflection of light from the two side panel’s makes it appear that there is more light entering the room than there actually is.
When you think of a bay window, do you think of the shelf that is created at the base of it for seating or a shelf that you can display china or flowers? Probably not, but that’s a benefit that you receive without engaging in new construction to open up the room.
One thing to remember about bay windows, certainly they are a design accent for the front of your home, but you can install them in any room as a replacement for the existing window that creates all the benefits in the room it is installed in.
