Things to consider when ordering Bays and Bows

  1. For Bow windows, we can use several combinations of casement vents, double hung vents, or dead lite picture windows. All vent windows include aluminum screen cloth as standard. Fiberglass wire is available but there is no reduction in price.
  2. For Bay windows, the center panel must be fixed, but we can use casement, double hungs, or dead lite picture windows for the end panels. We discourage the sale of exceptionally narrow or exceptionally wide bays because the center panel can appear out of proportion with the rest of the unit. Bays will be manufactured as a standard 1/4 vent -1/2 fixed -1/4 vent based on opening dimensions. The angle will be within the range of 30 to 45 degrees.
  3. Bow and Bay windows must be properly supported by knee brackets, overhead support cables, existing structures, or by other appropriate means. The weight of the Bow or Bay window must be transferred to a structural member capable of supporting the weight. Failure to properly support Bow and Bay windows may void the product warranty.
  4. Minimum width of any operable casement section is 13" ; maximum is 36". Overall casement component size limitations are as they appear on the Westview Casement window price list.
  5. All wood in the head, seat, and jambs will be 1-1/4" veneer plywood which can be stained, varnished, waxed, or painted.
  6. Top (head), bottom (seat), and jambs are furnished with bows and bays. Roof is furnished by others.
  7. Use total unit area and not glass area only to compute optional glass add on pricing. Please see catalog section 22 for add on glazing options and pricing.
  8. All orders for bows and bays must be in writing. Telephone orders will be noted but must be confirmed in writing. Please supply information as follows:
    1. Opening size (West Window will deduct 1/2" in width and height to allow fit in opening.)

// West vinyl windows are independently tested for structural strength, air infiltration resistance, water management performance, and forced entry resistance. In addition to these rigorous AAMA tests, West Window voluntarily certifies its products with a third party agency, National Accreditation and Management Institute, to assure the consumer that the windows they purchase are constructed to the same high standards to which they were tested.
