Tips for Customizing a Bay Window for Your Home

Bay windows can add dimension to a room and make it feel more spacious. These windows will flood your home with natural light and give you more expansive outdoor views. When you choose Renewal by Andersen® for your new replacement windows, you won’t only have a brighter and more beautiful home, but also energy savings. 

Here are tips to help you customize bay windows.

Window Size

While getting windows that are of the same size or smaller than your existing windows would cost less, a larger window will give you more natural light and create more visual impact. Bay windows are available in a lot of standard and custom sizes to fit any opening. 

Ensure your windows are installed correctly by working with an experienced installer. You can ask for referrals from your friends, family, and neighbors or go online. Window replacement is a significant investment. So, before hiring a contractor, research them, read reviews, and ask for references. 

Material

Vinyl and wood are some of today’s most popular materials. However, you can get both of their benefits when you choose Renewal by Andersen windows. Our unique Fibrex® material has the strength of wood with the low-maintenance features of vinyl. 

If you want to increase your home’s energy efficiency, choose bay windows with argon gas between panes and low-emissivity glazing that retains heat in winter and reflects it in summer. 

Sash Type

You can choose either a casement or double-hung sash for your bay. The bay sash is usually the same style as the rest of the windows in the house, but it’s not necessary. Consider a casement sash if you have a taller, narrower bay. If you have a shorter bay window, you can go with a double-hung sash.
