Queens Bay Windows

Popular Local Trends & Styles

• Victorian Bay Windows

  Bay windows are a common feature in Victorian design. For a style where artful adornments and architectural details are important, bay windows add shape and interest to Victorian-style homes. Traditional wooden bay windows can provide the historical accuracy you’re looking for when replacing windows on a Victorian-era home, like one of the historic Queen Anne-style homes of Old Richmond Hill. It’s worth noting that there may be certain requirements in place for replacing windows in a historic home or neighborhood.

• Front Bay Window  Bay windows are a prominent feature on the front of homes because they provide a wider view of the street as well as enhance curb appeal. With living areas and sitting rooms often located on the front of the home, the addition of a bay window provides abundant natural lighting into these spaces and occasionally the opportunity for extra seating with a bay window seat.
• Kitchen Bay Windows

  While bay windows frequently face the street, many homeowners also appreciate the benefits of a bay window in the kitchen or dining area along the rear of the home. A small bay window over the kitchen sink can provide garden views, help you keep an eye on pets or children outside or be an excellent place for small indoor plants to receive sunshine.

• Types of Bay Windows

  Pella bay windows are available in multiple configurations. Homeowners can choose a 30- or 45- degree angle, and choose from single-hung or casement windows as the venting window choices for their bay window. Whether it’s a small or large bay window you seek, a black or white bay window, Pella windows are built-to-order for a precise fit.

Recommended Customizations¹

Historically, homes around Queens like the Tudors in Auburndale or the Colonials in Jamaica Estates have a traditional aesthetic. To maintain the classic look, consider bay windows with traditional or Victorian grille patterns and hardware in timeless finishes like bright or antique brass. Want to update to something more contemporary? Skip the grille profiles for your bay window and try hardware in a high-contrast finish, like matte black. Find more customizations here.

Queens Climate Recommendations

Queens, like the rest of New York City, is home to a humid continental climate. That means winters tend to be cold and bring the occasional nor’easter, while summers are hot and humid, but the extremes of both are tempered by ocean breezes thanks to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. To keep your Queens County home comfortable year-round, consider energy-efficient glass and durable materials.

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.
