window that can be assembled
with different combination of
windows such as double hung,
casement and stationary
window and most of the cases a
new roof needs to be framed
because the unit sticks out from
the house.
• The flat front and the sides
angled toward you house create
a projection that can vary from
30 from 45 degrees angle.
BOW WINDOW
• A bow window also can be
assembled with different
combination of windows such
as double hung, casement and
stationary window and it has
3, 4, 5 or even 6 panels that
split up the projection giving it
a curved (bow) look. The
project can vary from 10 to 15
degrees angle.
