What are bay windows?
Victorian Bay Window’s grew in popularity during the Edwardian era, explaining why many old Scottish properties have them installed.
You will find many older properties within Scotland and throughout the UK with beautiful bay windows installed.
They can be easily recognised due to way they protrude outwards from the property. This creates extra space within the property, or a "bay". This creates extra space within the property, often providing extra sitting room for owners.
So, what’s the difference between a bay window and bow window? Bay windows typically consist of three openings, or sides, creating the window bay. Bow windows tends to have four or five sides, creating a more curved, rounded structure that is more noticeable from the outside.
