Bay and Bow Windows
Open up your space, add depth, and welcome in more natural light with a bay or bow window from AVI.
You can instantly add architectural interest and expand your interior living space by having a bay window or bow window in your home. Bay and bow windows give a home a unique and custom look and give the perception of more living space without adding to the square footage. This extra space is ideal for sitting to enjoy a good book, allow pets a comfortable place to look outside, and offer houseplants extra room and sunlight.

Types of Bay and Bow Windows
Bay Windows
Bay windows often have three openings – typically a large fixed window in the middle with two smaller windows on each side. These side windows can be single-hung, double-hung, fixed, or casement style windows.
Bow Windows
Bow windows often have four, five, or more openings, which means they typically take up more space than bay windows. These sets of joined windows are angled to make the wall look curved and are often constructed with wood or vinyl.
