If you are considering upgrading your windows, you should consider bow windows. These stylish uPVC windows don’t just look great – they can change how you use your space, lower your energy costs, and increase the value of your home. At a time when energy efficiency and home comfort are more important than ever, bow windows offer a perfect blend of style and practicality.
Let’s explore why more UK homeowners are picking uPVC bow windows for their homes and what makes our bow windows great.
What are Bow Windows?
A bow window is a curved window that sticks out from the exterior of your home. Bow windows form a soft curve, unlike bay windows, which have sharp corner posts. This design lets in natural light and adds extra space inside.
The History of Bow Windows
Bow windows became popular in the UK during the Georgian period. They brought a touch of style to the grand townhouses of the 18th century. These windows showed wealth and elegance and helped homeowners increase their living space. Originally, bow windows were made from wood. Today, they still add charm to both old and new homes. With materials like uPVC, bow windows are easier to maintain and more energy efficient for everyday houses.
Benefits of uPVC Bow Windows
Increased Natural Light
One of the most significant benefits of bow windows is how much natural light they let into your home. Their curved design and several panels create a panoramic view, allowing sunlight to come in from different angles during the day. This makes rooms feel brighter and bigger. With more natural light, you might not need as much artificial lighting, which can save you money on energy bills. It also makes your living space feel better. Research shows that more natural light can lift your mood, boost productivity, and improve your overall health.
Extra Living Space
Bow windows extend out from your home. This extra room adds valuable square footage to your area. Usually, it makes a space 12 to 24 inches wide across the window. This area can be turned into a window seat or used for showing plants and pictures. Many homeowners use it for reading spots, breakfast corners, or display areas. The added width and space can make rooms feel much larger.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Our modern uPVC bow windows come with great double glazing, and the many chambers in the uPVC frames provide extra insulation. This makes them better at saving energy. The sealed units stop heat from leaving in winter and keep rooms cooler in summer. This leads to a more comfortable home all year long. Homeowners can see significant drops in their heating costs after they install these windows.
Our bow windows are also fitted with patented bubble gaskets. This provides a continuous seal across the entire window to virtually remove draughts and water entry. This improved thermal efficiency also reduces condensation, which can lead to dampness and mould.
Versatile Style Options
Whether your home is traditional or modern, bow windows can be customised to suit your needs. They come in a range of colours and finishes, including looks that replicate traditional wood. This choice also applies to the interior of your property. You can choose different trim styles and inside finishes to create a look that fits your current style.
We also offer a range of additional designs, including leaded glass, Georgian or astragal bars, and decorative sash horns. Our bow windows are available in either chamfered (bevelled) or sculptured (curved) profiles.
