West Caldwell Bay Windows

Popular Local Trends & Styles

• Kitchen Bay Windows

  Installing a beautiful bay window in the kitchen helps bring in natural light and the feeling of added space, which is especially helpful on a narrow lot like those in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark. Keep tabs on kids and pets with a small bay window above the sink that overlooks your backyard. If room allows, a larger bay window in the kitchen has the added option of a bay window seat, which is an added bonus when used in a casual dining area.

• Bay Window Treatments With three angles of windows protruding from the house, bay windows let in abundant sunshine, and many homeowners choose window treatments as a way to control light levels as well as provide added privacy. Drapery panels hung from angled curtain rods or a series of Roman shades are popular options that allow homeowners to express their personal style.
• Black Bay Windows

  A trend many homeowners are looking to try is black window frames. A black bay window looks great on more modern homes and farmhouses and can serve as a bold update to more traditional styles of homes like Colonial and Tudor. Visually, black window frames have the appearance of disappearing into their surroundings creating a strong indoor/outdoor connection which can be especially striking for a bay window.

• Traditional Bay Windows

  Bay and bow windows are popular choices for both the Colonial and Victorian-style homes prominent throughout the Northeast. From Ridgewood to Oakhurst, the classic elegance of bay windows is fitting for traditional and historical homes. Consider Pella’s Architect Series® when replacing historic windows, but do bear in mind that there are often guidelines for restoring windows to original authenticity when replacing windows in a home that resides in a historical neighborhood.

New Jersey Climate Recommendations

Positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware River, New Jersey has a rather moderate climate. Summer months are warm and winter months are cold, but both will be more comfortable with energy-efficient insulating glass windows.

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.
