Bay and Bow Windows in Arkansas
Dramatic Curb Appeal for NW Arkansas Homes
Bay and bow windows are the premium window choice for NW Arkansas homeowners who want to make a lasting visual statement. They project outward from the exterior wall, creating dramatic curb appeal outside, additional interior floor space inside, and an ideal platform for a window seat that homeowners love. RENU Windows installs custom bay and bow windows throughout NW Arkansas with a lifetime warranty.
What Is the Difference Between Bay and Bow Windows?
NW Arkansas & Southwest MissouriBay Windows
A bay window consists of three window panels: a large center picture window flanked by two angled side windows, typically at 30 or 45 degrees. The side panels angle outward, creating a trapezoidal projection from the exterior wall. Bay windows make the strongest architectural statement of any window upgrade available for NW Arkansas homes.
Bow Windows
A bow window consists of four or more equal-sized window panels arranged in a gentle outward curve. The result is a softer, more rounded projection compared to a bay window. Bow windows complement Victorian, Craftsman, and traditional-style homes that are common throughout NW Arkansas.
Which Is Right for Your Home?
Bay windows deliver the boldest architectural statement and are the most popular choice in Bentonville and Fayetteville. Bow windows create a softer curve that suits certain home styles. Your RENU Windows specialist will help you choose the right configuration based on your home's architecture during your free in-home consultation.
