If your bay window has three sections, you’ll need rods that let the curtain be pulled all the way around. The hooks in your curtains have gaps where the rod attachment is fed. Bendable rods are ideal for bow windows.

A typical bay window has three panel and you can choose which ones should open. As bow windows are curved, they may not all open. However, you can design your own bow windows with us.

A bay window has three unique windows that converge at different angles beyond the external part of a wall. Bow windows are broader and curved in appearance.

A traditional bay window has three sides that are set apart from the wall. One projects outwards and the others sit at a 45° angle to the wall. This design is the most popular and is often featured on older properties throughout the UK.

You may have also heard of box windows. They are rectangular, sit away from the house, and the windows sit at 95° angles. This provides enough room to fit some chairs – or even a table. 

By improving the external appearance of your property, you’ll improve its value and make it a lighter, brighter, and roomier living space. The extra space will invite more light in, regardless of the direction your windows face. You’ll also enjoy a better view of the outdoors. Although more expensive than conventional double glazing, bow or bay windows include various benefits- including adding value to your home – that outweigh their cost.

Take advantage of all that extra space you’ve created. Turn it into a cosy seating area where you can relax while enjoying a better view. Perhaps add some cushions or use your new area to store some books – or, if you have animals, create a pet corner. It’s entirely up to you.
