Both styles project outward from your wall to create a brighter, more open feel, but each brings its own personality. Understanding the difference makes it easier to choose the right fit for your space.
Bay Windows
A bay window angles outward from the wall, typically with a fixed center pane flanked by two operable windows set at an angle. The result is a cozy nook, extra square footage, panoramic views, and a flood of natural light — a favorite for living rooms and dining areas alike.
Bow Windows
A bow window delivers a similar sense of openness with a softer, more elegant curve. Built from four or more connected panels, it forms a smooth, sweeping design that brings an airy, spacious feel to living rooms, dining spaces, and bedrooms.

Window Types
Slider Window
A slider window is a type of window that opens horizontally by sliding one glass pane over another. Sliding windows can open from the left or right, and in some cases, both sides. They can have 2 to 3 panels, depending on the desired look and functionality. Slider windows are easy to operate, provide great ventilation, and offer a modern, streamlined appearance, making them perfect for spaces like living rooms, kitchens, or bedrooms.
Single-hung Window
A single-hung window features two vertically stacked sashes, but only the bottom sash moves up and down, while the top sash remains fixed. This classic design is space-efficient, easy to use, and perfect for rooms where a simple, traditional look is desired.
Double-hung Window
A double-hung window has two vertically stacked sashes that can both move up and down. This design allows for better ventilation and easier cleaning, as both sashes can tilt inward. Double-hung windows are versatile and fit well in many architectural styles.
Picture Window
A picture window is fixed window that does not open and can come in many sizes. It is designed to provide expansive, unobstructed views and allow natural light to flood a room. Picture windows are ideal for living rooms or areas where ventilation is less important.
Casement Window
A casement window is hinged on one side and opens outward like a door, operated with a crank handle. This style provides excellent ventilation and is particularly energy-efficient, as the sash seals tightly against the frame when closed.
Awning Window
An awning window is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom, forming an awning-like shield against the rain. It’s perfect for allowing ventilation while keeping out moisture and is commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, or basements.
Radius Window
A radius window features an arched or rounded top, adding a touch of elegance and architectural interest to any space. They are often used as standalone accents or paired with rectangular windows for a dramatic effect.
Tilt and Turn Window
A tilt and turn window offers dual functionality: it can tilt inward from the top for ventilation or swing inward like a door for easy cleaning and full access. This European-style design is highly versatile and ideal for modern homes.
Bay and Bow Window
A bay window projects outward from the wall, typically with a fixed center window flanked by two angled operable windows. It creates a cozy nook, adds space to a room, and provides panoramic views with ample natural light. A bow window is similar to a bay window but features a curved, seamless design with 4 or more connected panels. This style offers a softer, rounded appearance and creates a spacious, airy feel in any room.

Customer Reviews
I am so pleased with my new windows and my new French doors that were installed by 360 Windows and Doors! From my first interactions with Eric who worked with me on the quote to Lauren who kept me updated and helped with any questions I had, to Greg and his team of installers who did an excellent job, I was very pleased with the whole experience. They made the process simple and easy from step one. I couldn't recommend this company any higher, five stars all the way!
