I have to confess the customer did the stain and varnish as we're great carpenters but not painters so much. This one used the oak with oak trim and a light oak stain with clear varnish. This is the interior view of our bay windows. While not cheap, these are beautiful and make a great little window seat as well as offering more light than we had when it was a twin window. It's constructed out of 1 1/2" plywood on all four sides. It's a great look and floats to the inside of the home with casing for the finished product. In this case there are cable supports that run up into the facia to support the weight of the bay unit itself. This was a pre-fabbed bay and it went into an opening that had just a twin window previously. It is easily removable if you want that clear glass look, and it snaps back on if you burn the chicken and need to air out the house.Ĭasements are one of our favortite products and in this prefabbed bay window they really look great. The casement window swings open like a door with a screen mounted on the inside of the window. If you use casement windows as flankers you can keep out the horizontal bar and have that picture window look while still being able to operate the window and get air and ventilation. This is a little more money but a great look. What we all need is windows that are quieter and help keep our air conditioning inside the house. In 2015 and beyond there is no reason to have leaky hot bay windows that leak air and cost you energy dollars. This is a commitment we have to you and your home: Better home improvements that last longer and are worth more when you sell the house. Great installations are their own reward when you see your work last for decades and longer. This one happens to been installed in 2006 and I just happened to go back to the house and see it.
BOW WINDOWS WITH GRIDS FREE
The top has a custom trim as well and the outside is completely maintenance free and can be hosed off with a water hose. This and single hung flankers are the most common things we see but there are casement options as well.Īs you can see, our custom bent mullions and trim make the day on these. In this case they are double hung and operate from the top or the bottom with a half screen that can be used on either one. The flankers are the windows on the ends. It takes real talent to get one to look great from every side. A well done bay will look great and increase the homes value, an ugly one will do the opposite. It becomes really important when you get to a bay or bow window because they are such focal points to the home itself. I hope you'll look through our gallery of projects and take note of the special attention to detail we provide on every project. Knowing someone with some expertise in all the options is immensely valuable. There are a lot of options and choices and seldom is the same thing right for every home. It just leads to a better looking install. We also custom build all our mullions to assure a better installĪll homes settle to some degree and custom manufacturing the mullions allows us to take out the discrepancies one window at a time and disperse them across the opening. Keeps the mullions of the bow down to around three inches. NT Window makes a great slim line framed product that we use a lot in these cases and it keeps the frame size down at one and one half inches. We have both options from several different window manufacturers. Some folks like a heavy frame reminisent of the old wood windows and some prefer a thinner more streamlined frame that allows less frame and more glass and light. Starting at the beginning, a bay window has three lites of glass and frames and a bow has four or more lites of glass and frames.įrame thickness is a huge concern for many.
