BAY WINDOW REPLACEMENT

You can clean bay windows in the same manner as our casement and double hung windows.

Most bay windows do not have three operable units. Typically, the two windows on each end can open and close while the middle window remains fixed. We do offer a three-window assembly where all three windows can open.

A flat bay window is also known as a canted bay window or a classic modern bay window because it features a flat middle window and side windows at an angle.

Bay windows can add more natural light to your home and create bigger views. A bay window can make your home more architecturally appealing with its angled lines. Bay windows can also help increase ventilation with operable flank windows or by having all three windows operable. A bay window seat comes with insulated headboard to create a reading nook in your home.

Bay windows can let more light in because you have a three-window assembly versus having just a single window or two windows next to each other.

Like many trends, bay windows have fallen out of favor at times and gained popularity at other times. Designers tend to think bay windows have come back in style, especially with people seeking more ways to add natural light to their homes.

The cost to replace a bay window depends on several things. First, the size of the bay window will dictate the price. Bay windows usually have three double hung or three casement windows mulled together. The height and width of those windows can vary, which changes the price. The window material used also impacts the cost. Some window materials cost more than others. How long it takes to install a bay window and the construction costs also play a role in the final pricing.

Yes, you can replace a bow window with a bay window. Whether you can depends on the space available where you want to install a bow window. Bay windows typically have fewer windows than bow windows, which can have up to six windows mulled together. The area also needs to have the proper structural strength to support the mulled unit. It’s important to have accurate measurements to make sure a replacement bow window will fit where you have a bay window.

You can measure a bay window for replacement by starting at one jamb and extending a tape measure to the other jamb to record the width. To measure the height, you want to measure from the middle of the bay window by extending a tape measure vertically from trim to trim. It’s also important to record the width of each window unit in the bay assembly because the widths can vary.

Yes, you can replace one window in a bay window. Each window is an individual unit, but they’re mulled together to form a bay window. Replacing just one window in a bay window requires special work, but a professional window installer can handle the project.

Yes, bay windows are energy efficient. Our Ultrex fiberglass frames combined with glass glazing options suited for your climate region make for energy efficient window options.

There are many ways to style bay windows. Bay windows often make cozy reading nooks or provide the perfect place for houseplants to soak up sunshine. The additional space works perfect for setting books or adding décor pieces. The angled space can make it ideal for place to sit down and chat or enjoy the outdoors views together.

Bay window costs depend on the type of window you select, a double hung or a casement window, options, and the size of the assembly. Speak with a Marvin Replacement design consultant to learn more about our bay windows.
