What are Bay and Bow Windows?

Bay and bow windows (sometimes called projection windows) are two styles that help capture British Columbia’s beautiful scenery and create a panoramic view within your home. Bay windows are made with three glass panels to create a boxier shape, while bow windows use three or more panels to create a slight curve out from your home. Both styles can provide extra space inside of your home which can be used for more shelving or seating.

Why Choose Bay & Bow Windows?

MORE LIGHT & VENTILATION – Extra glass area allows for more natural light to brighten any room or space. Combinations that have operable sashes, such as a picture window in between two casement windows will provide more light and increase ventilation.

TRANSFORMATION – Both designs can transform the aesthetic and experience of your home, which will make you feel like you’ve invested in a major renovation for just a fraction of the cost.

EXTRA SPACE – Bay and bow windows expand a room’s usable space which can be used for additional storage, more seating, and even a cozy reading nook!

BETTER VIEWS – Depending on your design, they can add three-dimensional, panoramic views to capture the Canadian scenery while enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

Fibrex Frames

All Renewal by Andersen of British Columbia window frames are made with exclusive Fibrex® material, a high-quality composite material that combines the strength and stability of wood with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl. Fibrex was designed for beauty, energy efficiency, easy maintenance and the durability to withstand Canada’s harsh winters in a way vinyl never could.

Thanks to Ariel and Nick Baker for ensuring the job at my Mom’s was finished following her passing. Nick was thoughtful and went the extra mile, and Ariel was helpful in scheduling. Thank you again.

Despite the salesman’s statement about the final condition being just like it’s current condition, I was nonetheless concerned. My concern was that the trim inside and out would be damaged as the trim inside is very dated and would’ve been impossible to duplicate and the outdoor trim is very weathered vinyl, replacement would also be impossible. The installers were very professional and did an amazingly great job and the finished job was perfect in all ways.

We recently replaced our bay windows with a 10’ sliding doors by Renewal by Anderson. We are extremely happy with the quality and service of their work. And for a reasonable price too. Dustin, the project manager was above and beyond, punctual and very attentive to details. It is not a small job , but Dustin manage and coordinate the works and finish the installation within a day. Touch up was done in the later days. Dusting came a few times to confirm all work was done properly. We were fully satisfied the work. The installation team and touch up team (Nick and Cody) were also great. They were polite and professional. I asked touch up team for dry wall patch texture so we can patch other walls that were damaged by us. But they offered to patch and sand the damage for us free. It was completed a lot better than what we can do. For this, I will give a 5 star rating.

We had our windows and patio doors replaced by Renewal by Andersen. Jason gave us multiple options to choose from that would fit into our strata's requirements and was straightforward about the time it would take to manufacture the windows and doors. While it took slightly longer than expected for the job to be completed due to some Covid-19 supply chain issues (who hasn't run into those in the last couple of years?), the job was completed and we are very happy with the results. Corey and his crew were very professional and respectful of our concerns about physical distancing, etc. during the installation. The crew cleaned up thoroughly after the installation work was completed. The installed windows and doors look very good and make our home more comfortable. I'd give Corey and his crew a 10 out of 10 for their service.The 20 year warranty on the glass and Fibrex portion of the windows and the 10 year warranty on the remainder of the hardware was much appreciated seeing as one of our neighbours who went with a different company three years ago had issues within 2 years but were only covered for 1 year.

The installation crew was awesome, the office communication and the technician were great. The windows quality is very good, I highly recommend. Just to warn you that the standard order doesn't include any locks, handles, or slide stoppers by default: you have to order them separately.Also I want to mention, the company does go above and beyond to make things right for you. At the end you will have cool windows that will keep your house warm and beautiful.
