Bay Windows, Bow Windows Or Sliding Sash Window Whats Right For You?

Choosing windows for your home, your property or your new build is an important step

in determining the overall character of the place, both from the inside and from the outside. Bay windows, bow windows, sliding sash windows whatever you choose, windows are a homes eyes, giving it personality and letting its inhabitants enjoy the inside and outside worlds associated with the property to their fullest extent.

Sitting inside your house, the windows can make or break that all important cosy feeling that you get at the end of a long hard day. The shape and aspect of your bow windows or your sliding sash window become part of the room so they need to be in proportion and positioned in a way that will add a pleasing feel to the rooms interior.

From the outside, the windows you choose to use will dictate the whole look of your home. The placing and sizing of windows is extremely important in making a home look like natural i.e. like it is in the proper proportions. Commonly used (Palladian) systems of building proportion require that your bow windows or sliding sash window be larger on the ground floor than the second floor, which allows you to keep the perspective of your home looking natural.

Both the bay and the bow window are intended to let nature into your home and to let your home into nature. It is this combination of the internal and the external that transforms a house into a place that a person really loves to be in: a place where the winter sun in the garden can be enjoyed from inside, surrounded by glass; and where the cosy lights of the living room spill out onto the lawn in the evenings. Bow windows and bay windows present two different ways of achieving this: either through a squared off bay, or with the sweeping curve of the bow.

The sliding sash window is an ideal addition to homes with flat frontage. The sash lets in the maximum amount of light (and, when open, air) for its area and adds a nice old fashioned touch to the look of a home while enjoying updated mechanisms that make it as safe and easy to use as a modern casement window. A modern sliding sash window will even have sequential point locking systems to ensure that it can be opened only to a predetermined gap, when children are around.

Both bow windows and the sliding sash window can be installed in bespoke arrangements and custom made sizes so any room, in any sized home, is a suitable candidate for an attractive glazing addition. To determine the type of window that is right for your home, you can commission architects drawings envisioning the final appearance.
