MADE TO MEASURE
MULTI-SECTION DESIGN
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Bow windows project beyond the main wall in a gentle curve created from several adjoining glazed sections. Their softer profile can widen the outlook, bring light from several directions and create a deeper internal sill or display area.
Expert Windows provides quotations for made-to-measure bow window replacements and suitable new installations across Dublin and Leinster. The number of sections, projection, frame, opening lights, glazing, structural support, exterior weathering and internal finishing must be considered together.
A bow window is related to, but distinct from, an angular bay window. Bay windows commonly use a central pane with side sections set at sharper angles, while a bow uses more units to create a smoother curve.
Explore our broader window range and ask which configuration is suitable for the measured opening.
Bow Window Designs and Configurations
The right layout depends on the opening width, desired projection, property style and whether selected sections need to open for ventilation.
Four- and five-section arrangements are common design concepts, but the final number, angles and pane proportions are set by the available system, measurements and support requirements.
Fixed-Centre Bow Windows
Fixed glazed sections can prioritise uninterrupted views, with ventilation provided by compatible opening units elsewhere in the curve. A fixed picture window can also be useful where a projected design is not required.
Opening Bow Windows
Selected sections may use compatible casement openings for ventilation. Handle reach, hinge direction, restrictors and external clearance should be checked for the room and users.
Replacement Bow Windows
Replacing an existing bow requires accurate angles, section widths, support and weathering details. We also review the internal board, trims and surrounding finishes before confirming the scope.
Why Choose a Bow Window?
- Gentle curved external appearance
- Views and daylight from multiple directions
- Made-to-measure section proportions
- Fixed and compatible opening-light options
- Double- or triple-glazing subject to system
- Professional survey, support and weather sealing
Popular Window Colours
Expert Windows offers a wide selection of colour pallet and shapes to meet any specific project.
POPULAR HANDLE COLOURS
Bow Windows vs Bay Windows
Both project outward, but they create a different exterior profile and internal geometry. The comparison below helps separate the two design intents.
| Design factor | Bow window | Bay window |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Gentle curve formed by multiple joined units | More angular projection with defined corners |
| Typical visual rhythm | Several narrower sections of similar proportions | Often a wider centre section with angled sides |
| Internal feel | Curved outlook and a continuous multi-pane arrangement | More defined alcove or angular internal footprint |
| Specification | Angles, couplers, supports and section count confirmed to suit the system | Projection angles, roof/support and central/side panes confirmed to suit the opening |
Frame and Glass
Compatible bow configurations may be available in uPVC, aluminium, timber or clad systems. Compare double glazing and triple glazing as part of the complete window specification.
Opening Sections
Fixed units can be combined with compatible opening sashes. Ventilation, handle reach, hinge capacity and glass weight need to be reviewed together.
Support and Weathering
Projection, couplers, head and sill details, support, drainage, exterior seals and any roof or canopy detail must suit the property and system.
Bow Window Prices and Cost Factors
Bow window cost depends on the number and size of sections, projection, frame material, glazing, opening lights, hardware, colour, structural support, external weathering, access, removal and internal finishing. We provide a measured, project-specific quotation rather than an unsupported preset amount.
Bow Window Replacement and Installation
Our process begins with the existing opening and proposed geometry. We survey and measure where required, confirm the frame, sections, angles, glazing, supports and finishes, then agree the removal and installation scope. During fitting, the new window is positioned and fixed, couplers and perimeter details are sealed, and visible finishing is completed in line with the quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bow window?
A bow window is a projected arrangement of several adjoining glazed sections set at shallow angles to form a gentle curve. The exact number of sections and projection depend on the selected system and opening.
What is the difference between a bow window and a bay window?
A bow window usually uses several narrower sections to create a curved profile. A bay window is typically more angular, often with a broader centre pane and side sections set at sharper angles.
How many sections does a bow window have?
Four- and five-section designs are common concepts, but other layouts may be possible. The final number, section widths and angles depend on the opening, projection, frame system and support requirements.
Can sections of a bow window open?
Yes, compatible opening sashes may be included in selected positions. The configuration must account for ventilation, handle reach, hinge direction, sash weight and external clearance.
Can bow windows be double or triple glazed?
Compatible double or triple glazing may be available depending on the frame, unit dimensions, glass weight and whole-window specification. Pane count should be compared alongside the complete tested system.
Can you replace an existing bow window?
Yes, subject to survey. We assess the existing geometry, frame, supports, sill, head, weathering, access and internal finishes before confirming the replacement scope.
Can a flat window be changed to a bow window?
It may be possible, but creating a new projection can involve structural support, exterior weathering, sill and internal finishing work. The property and opening require assessment before a proposal is made.
How much does a bow window cost in Dublin?
Cost depends on dimensions, section count, projection, frame, glazing, opening lights, hardware, support, access, removal, sealing and finishing. We provide a project-specific quotation rather than an unsupported preset amount.
Where do you supply and fit bow windows?
Expert Windows provides quotations for bow window projects across Dublin and the wider Leinster area, subject to system availability, project requirements and scheduling.
