Bay windows are windows that project outward from the exterior wall of a building, creating a bay or alcove inside. They have been a feature of UK homes—both traditional and modern—for generations, evolving in style over time. While the term “bay window” is often used broadly, it specifically refers to any window that protrudes from the building’s exterior.
Bay windows have been popular since the medieval period and continue to be a favoured choice due to their versatility and the practical and aesthetic benefits they provide. Today, an increasing number of homeowners are opting for bay windows thanks to modern design improvements and the growing popularity of aluminium as a framing material.
How Aluminium Enhances Bay Window Design
Bay windows extend outward from the wall, adding extra interior space and offering wider, more expansive views. Our slim yet strong aluminium frames maximise natural light and enhance the sense of openness inside your home.
We offer two distinct bay window styles: Heritage and Architectural. Both are crafted from premium-grade aluminium, prized for its strength, lightweight properties, and design flexibility.
Our Heritage Bay Windows feature ultra-slim 59mm sightlines, delivering a refined, elegant look that is difficult to achieve with bulkier materials like uPVC or timber.
For a more contemporary look, our Architectural Bay Windows provide clean lines and are designed to match perfectly with other aluminium window and door profiles—creating a consistent, modern finish throughout your property.
Both ranges achieve U-values as low as 1.1, ensuring excellent thermal efficiency and reducing heat loss year-round.
Enhanced Natural Light and Room Space
A key benefit of bay windows is their ability to increase natural light. By projecting outward, they capture sunlight from multiple angles—maximising brightness throughout the day, particularly in sunnier months.
Paired with our other aluminium window and door styles, bay windows help create a bright, open flow throughout your home. This enhances the atmosphere, making interiors feel more spacious and inviting.
Bay windows project outward to create extra floor space, making any room feel more open and inviting. Whether used for a window seat, reading nook, or decorative shelving, they add both charm and functionality—bringing in more natural light while enhancing the layout of your home.
Customisation and Styling Options
Both our Heritage and Architectural Bay Windows come with a wide selection of hardware options, allowing you to personalise the look and feel of your installation.
We offer 12 standard colour finishes, making it easy to match your existing home design or create a striking contrast that enhances your property’s curb appeal. Whether renovating or building new, our customisable options help you achieve your ideal aesthetic without compromise.
Installation Considerations
If you are adding a new bay window rather than replacing an existing one, planning permission may be required—especially in conservation areas or for listed buildings.
Bay windows require adequate structural support, so it’s important to have a professional assess whether your wall can safely accommodate the projection.
All installations must comply with UK Building Regulations, including thermal performance standards. While our windows meet these requirements, proper fitting is crucial to maintain their efficiency.
Finally, consider that some internal adjustments may be necessary to fully utilise the additional space created by the bay window.
Brighten and Expand Your Home with Aluminium Bay Windows
Aluminium bay windows are an excellent choice for anyone looking to increase natural light and create additional interior space. Their slim, durable frames offer a sleek, modern appearance combined with outstanding thermal performance—helping to keep your home comfortable throughout the year.
