Bay windows make an architectural statement while enhancing the ambiance of your home. They allow natural sunlight to crisscross interior spaces and create cozy nooks for seating or decoration.
They can transform living rooms, kitchens and master bedrooms into attractive nooks with an expanded view. But you need to choose a trusted local window replacement company for proper installation.
Aesthetics
Bay windows are an eye-catching addition to any home, adding value and creating a unique space. They offer panoramic views and natural light that brightens any space. They also make rooms feel bigger and more spacious, making them a great choice for small homes or apartments.
Bay window installation creates a cozy nook perfect for reading, eating, or enjoying the outdoors. It’s also a stylish way to display plants, knick-knacks, and other items. In commercial properties, angled bay windows draw attention to window displays and add architectural character.
There are many customization options available for bay windows, including trim, insulated seat boards, and other features. Morgan Exteriors can install these windows with or without a roof, depending on your aesthetic preferences and the architectural style of your home. We can even design them to accommodate double-pane energy-efficient windows, maximizing natural light and offering superior ventilation.
Energy efficiency
A bay window adds a unique architectural element to a home, enhancing the style of the space and providing additional seating or storage areas. It also creates a cove-like interior space, ideal for cozy reading nooks or to display cherished décor items.
The more glass a window has, the more it can boost solar gain. This can increase room cooling costs, but it is possible to reduce solar gain by choosing windows with lower SHGC ratings and U-factors.
Bay windows can also be made more energy-efficient with a Low-E coating, which is applied to the outer layer of the glass to reflect thermal energy and reduce the amount of heat that enters your home during the summer. This is often complemented by double-pane windows infused with Argon gas, which further reduces thermal transfer and helps to keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This can reduce energy bills by up to 30%.
Comfort
Whether in the kitchen or living room, bay windows add value and a sense of spaciousness to any home. They feature a central window that is flanked by double-hung or casement style windows that open and close for ventilation. The angled configuration creates a space that can be used for seating, cozy reading nooks, or as an attractive display area for knick-knacks and framed photographs.
The increased natural light they let in dramatically brightens any space, which can help reduce energy consumption and save on utility bills. This can also boost indoor comfort levels and improve productivity.
Bay windows are available in a variety of grid designs, allowing you to customize your look to suit your tastes and complement your existing architecture. They also come in different materials, so you can find the right fit for your budget. For example, EcoView offers Jeld Wen bay windows that are built for durability and provide superior thermal protection.
