Kansas Bay Windows

Popular Local Trends & Styles

• Space for Seating and Benches

  Because bay windows protrude from the outside, they allow more space within the room and can sometimes give the illusion of even more space. Homes with bay windows also enjoy a wider expanse of the outdoors and a plethora of natural light, creating a perfect perch for reading and relaxing or opening up space for the ideal dining area.

• Big Bay Windows To make the most of a bay window, the exterior wall space needs to be 40 inches wide or larger. If you have the room, large bay windows make a bigger impact, opening up even more space and bringing in additional sunlight. Pella bay windows are available in man larger sizes at both 30° and 40° angles.
• Kitchen Bay Windows

  Bay windows make a great addition to a kitchen. Placed above a kitchen sink, a bay window allows to keep an eye on your children playing or simply daydream while doing dishes. The bottom of a bay window can act as a shelf to grow plants or herbs. Bay windows can also create additional seating in a breakfast nook or open up your kitchen for a larger dining set.

• Traditional Style

  From Dodge City to Lawrence, traditional and ranch homes are the most popular home styles. Bay windows support these traditional style homes, offering an aesthetic boost to the exterior of a two-story house or an opportunity to visually expand the interior of a ranch.

Recommended Customizations¹

To match the timeless look commonly found in Kansas, choose grilles to create the classic look of individual window panes. Casement, single-hung and double-hung windows are the most common choices for the flanking windows in a bay window combination. Brass hardware on these operational windows can recreate the elegance of bay windows from traditional homes, while distressed hardware offers a rustic look.

Kansas Climate Recommendations

The state of Kansas falls on dividing lines between subclimate zones. Depending on your area of Kansas, you may wish to carefully review your glass options for windows. The climate in Kansas includes both cold winters and hot, humid summers and overall high precipitation. For the fluctuating temperatures of the Midwest, we recommend fiberglass products with Low-E insulating glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

•   What is the difference between a bay window and a bow window?

  • Both bay and bow windows use a combination of windows to protrude from the exterior of a home. Bay windows consist of a set of three angled window panels — one large, fixed window and two flanking windows on the sides. In contrast, bow windows are made of four or more windows that create a curved shape. Learn more about the differences in size, style, light, ventilation and cost.
