Windows Design Dilemma

Converting Bow Window to 6 single hungs?

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

I have an 11' bow window that's separating from the house. Replacing it is VERY Expensive BUT I don't want to lose the platform space (I like to put plants there). Can I put 4-6 single/double hung windows at the angle/at the edge of the platform rather than straight in a row to the wall? This way I can keep the platform space rather than loose it. Is it possible?

You are describing a bay window, and it's certainly doable, but not going to be inexpensive.

Hey There: sure it can be done...

You can go from 90 degrees angle to much less and have the wall appear on a radius. It all depends on the current situation.

That will not be a cheap solution IMO remove it get a nice picture window and a nice shelving system for plants in front of the window.
