Bay Window Replaces Bow Window on Greenfield Home

Once a bustling mill town, Greenfield, Massachusetts has a rich history along the waterfront of many rivers. The historic suburb offers an abundance of breathtaking architecture, most of which can be spotted in its traditionally designed homes. We met with a pair of homeowners in the area who wanted to convert their old bow window to a bay window to enhance their home’s traditional aesthetic. We knew a wood bay window would be the perfect fit.

The previous bow window had two picture windows in the middle and casement windows on either side. While it offered some airflow through the casement windows, the panels were difficult to open as they swung outward into the bushes. With the help of a Pella expert during their in-home consultation, the homeowners decided to replace the bow window with a bay window that's easier to open. Customized to fit in the existing opening, the new bay window features double-hung windows on either side. These slide open vertically and require no additional space to operate, meaning the bushes are no longer in the way.

Bay windows are a classic feature of traditional style homes. The bay window has larger panes of glass than the previous bow and extends farther from the home, which draws more attention to the area. The interior frames match the warm wood stain of the other windows throughout the house. Wood windows offer natural beauty and offer more customization opportunities than other materials. With long-lasting durability, many wood windows come with exterior aluminum cladding to protect them from the elements and resist rot and corrosion.
