Bay windows are beautiful and can add architectural interest as well as space and light to any home. If you are considering replacement windows, it’s a good time to look into all the options and get what you really want for your home. If bay windows are on your list of things to consider, here are a few reasons why you might want to put them on the “definitely, yes” side of the list.



They Look Phenomenal


Bay replacement windows add visual interest to your home both inside or out. Outside, your house has a new visual appeal and inside, you have more space. You could add a window seat or a nook for statues. You could even add additional floor space to the room. There’s more dimension to a room with a bay window and there’s more to see outside as well.



They Bring In More Light


If you have three regular windows, flat across the wall, they might bring in quite a bit of natural light. But you compare those to three windows that jut out at an angle, of course the second choice will bring in more light. Bay windows are able to catch the light at different angles, perhaps as the sun goes down or rises. You’ll feel like your room is more open and welcoming because of the light. And it will also be more open because of the extra space.



They Increase Home Value


Quality Replacement Windows in general are going to raise the value of your home. But bay windows will raise the value even more so. They are an attractive element that benefits you when you start the selling process, whether that’s soon or far down the road.



They Ventilate Well
