Bay Windows

A Bay window opens up your room creating a feeling of space and light. We can enhance this effect by installing slim-framed windows that maximise your glazing area and flood your home with natural light.

Most of the bay windows we see in South Wales are on older houses, but they are just as attractive on modern houses. It’s surprising how much those small bay window areas can open up a room. Ask about adding one to your home.

Modern Casement Bay Windows

It is typical in South Wales to see traditional bay windows where the frame is a stone pillar. Sash windows are the best option for this type of bay.

On more modern houses where there is no stone to use as the frames, it is more usual to use casement windows. These are the ones that are side or top hung, and the corners are supported by frames that match the windows. You can see this in the picture of a recent installation in Cardiff. These are Agate Grey casement windows, but they are also available in other styles and colours.

Sash Bay Window

Sash windows have been popular for centuries, and it’s easy to see why. They offer a graceful and elegant look that can complement any style of property, from traditional to contemporary.

At Heath Windows, we specialise in the design and installation of bespoke sash windows. Our experienced team will work with you to create a window that is perfect for your home, whether you’re looking for an exact replica of your existing windows or something completely unique.

When you invest in sash windows, you benefit from the classic style you would expect and the features of precision-engineered Upvc. Low maintenance, exceptional thermal insulation and superb security for your peace of mind.

Double Glazed Bay Windows

Double glazed bay windows provide excellent energy efficiency and are effective in keeping homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They also provide a high level of security, as they are difficult to break and can be fitted with additional locking mechanisms.

Double glazed bay windows are available in a range of styles and finishes to suit different architectural designs and can add value and curb appeal to a home.

Most of our customers choose double glazing, but if you live in exposed or noisy areas you may wish to choose triple glazing.

Flush Casement Bay Window

Flush casement windows are a popular choice for bay windows and can be used as a timber alternative, providing a durable and low-maintenance option for homeowners.

Flush casement windows have a classic and timeless design that can complement many architectural styles. Timber requires regular maintenance to keep it looking its best, including painting or staining every few years, and can be prone to rotting or warping if not properly cared for. Flush casement windows made of uPVC or aluminium can provide a more low-maintenance option for homeowners.

Double glazed flush casement bay windows provide excellent insulation and help to reduce energy bills, as well as being secure with multi-point locking systems and toughened glass options.

Replacement Bay Windows

When you are ready to replace your bay windows, you don’t need to replace them exactly as they are. 

You have the choice of which style of windows and the configuration. For instance, your large front section may be two separate windows which can be changed to one big picture window. 

We’ll be guided by the lintels and post supports in advising you, but this is a chance to have your replacement bay window exactly as you want it.

Matching Front Bay Windows 

It’s quite normal to see bay windows, on one window, just downstairs or only in the front with standard windows in the rest of the house. There is no concern about whether the windows match. When designing windows, we think about sightlines as far as possible so that your home will look overall aesthetically pleasing.

Different types of bay windows

There are several different types of bay window, and some confusion about the difference between a bay and a bow window.  Our expert team at Heath Windows Ltd can help you to decide which type of window will be best for your home and needs. We have years of experience installing bay and bow windows in homes and offices throughout South Wales. 

To start with, bay windows may be built on the wall creating a floor-to-ceiling bay area inside the house.

Alternatively, bay windows may sit on brackets or corbels, giving the bay area from the window sill upwards but no additional floor space inside the house.

This is the easiest way to add a bay window without too much building work.

Bay windows are further differentiated by their shape. While bay and bow windows always protrude from the house, the side window may be set at right angles or a 45-degree angle, with the remaining space across the front divided into an appropriate number of windows depending on the width.

A bow window is made up of a curved or arched structure, typically featuring three to six windows joined together to form a gentle curve or arc. Unlike a traditional bay window, which features flat planes and sharp angles, bow windows have a softer and more rounded appearance. They are a popular architectural feature in Victorian and Edwardian homes and are known for their ability to add an elegant and distinctive element to a room.

You can further design your bay windows to be unique by specifying different window types and opening configurations. Casement windows, sash windows, tilt and turn windows and flush casement are all used in bay windows.

What is an Oriel bay window?

An oriel bay window is a type of window that protrudes from the exterior of a building, typically on an upper level, and is supported by brackets or corbels.

Unlike traditional bay windows, which are usually rectangular or angled, oriel bay windows have a polygonal or curved shape, often with intricate detailing and ornamentation. These windows were popular in medieval and Renaissance architecture and were often used as a way to add space to a room or provide a platform for musicians or speakers. Today, oriel bay windows are still used in modern architecture, often in historic or high-end buildings, as a way to add visual interest and architectural character to a structure. 

What is a canted bay window?

A canted bay window is a type of bay window that features angled sides that are typically set at 30 or 45-degree angles to the exterior wall of a building. This creates a flat, rectangular front that can extend outward, providing additional space and natural light to a room. The angled sides of canted bay windows can provide a greater sense of depth and perspective to a space, making it feel larger and more open. These windows are often found in Victorian and Edwardian architecture and are characterized by their ornate detailing, such as decorative moldings, corbels, or stained glass panels. Canted bay windows can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, uPVC, or aluminum, and can be fitted with a range of glazing options, such as double or triple glazing, for improved insulation and energy efficiency.

Aluminium bay windows?

Aluminium windows are becoming popular for bay windows, especially where light is already reduced by large stone pillars. Almost all window styles are now available with aluminium options, but casement windows are the most popular.

Aluminium windows are available with slimmer frames than their uPVC counterparts so they allow more natural light in.

Bay window fascia

Many DIYers have made the mistake of not putting fascia, guttering and drainpipes on a new bay window. 

Effective roofline is just as important on a bay window roof to stop rainwater from running down the window onto the wall or window below. 

Rainwater needs to be diverted away just as it is with the main roof on your house.

Bay window doors

Any bay window could be changed to bay doors just as a normal window can be. As always, it depends on a suitable lintel already being in place to avoid expensive building work.

You can choose to put French doors in the centre and keep the windows at the side or install glazed panels. The choice is yours.

You can even build a new bay door section to give your room a much more spacious feel to it.
