Bay Windows FAQs
Choosing new windows can be a tough decision, but don't worry, at Safestyle we're here to help! We've answered some of the most common questions we get asked which you may find useful.
Yes, bay windows can add value to a home, especially when they improve the look, light and overall feel of a room. If you’re adding a brand-new bay window, it can make rooms feel bigger, brighter and more open, which can make a property more appealing to potential buyers. It’s also worth remembering that you don’t always need to build a completely new bay window to see the benefits. Replacing the windows within an existing bay can also make a real difference, particularly if the current frames are dated, draughty or no longer performing as they should. New stylish, energy-efficient replacements can help freshen up the appearance of your home, improve comfort and potentially boost its value at the same time.
In many cases, you won’t need planning permission if you're repairing or upgrading existing bay windows without making major changes to the overall structure. If you’re adding a brand-new bay window, the rules can be different. It is usually a Permitted Development, but because bay windows project out from the property - particularly at the front - check with your local authority before going ahead. That said, Bay windows are often found on homes in conservation areas and on listed buildings. Bay window replacement or additions on homes like that will need planning permission.
Many original bay windows have already been part of a home for 100 years or more, so structures will last a long time. How long replacement windows in existing bays might last depends on the condition of the structure and how well it's been maintained. If you're adding a new bay, the construction is designed to stand the test of time. The lifespan of the windows in a bay are determined by lots of factors, including maintenance and where they are. Our uPVC bay windows last over 25 years with the right care. They also come with a 10-year guarantee on the frames and a 15-year guarantee on the glass units.
The main difference is the shape and how much extra space they give you. Here’s our breakdown: The main difference is the shape and how much extra space they give you. Here’s our breakdown:
- Bay Windows: These have a sharp, angular shape (usually consisting of three window panels). They typically follow the floor of your home so they actually add extra floor space to a room - perfect for a window seat.
- Bow Windows: These have a curved shape made up of four or more panels. Bow windows don’t extend the floor, instead, they ‘bow’ out from a flat wall creating a wide window ledge.
