Bay & Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows are designed to project outward from a wall, enhancing your home’s curb appeal, expanding your views, and increasing your room’s functional living space. At first glance, they can look a lot alike. Both will open up a room and let it breathe, giving the appearance of more space and letting in more light while adding a splash of glamour. A bay window usually consists of 3 openings, with 2 side windows at a sharp angle design, whereas a bow window will consist of 4, 5 or 6 openings in a curved projection. There are many factors involved with bay and bow windows that will determine the best window covering solution for your home. Mounting depth, degree of angles and operating systems are just a few of the considerations that needed to be looked at when deciding the best window covering solution.
Honeycomb Shades
With a minimum inside mount depth of ½”, the Hunter Douglas Honeycomb shades will fit easily on bay and bow windows. They are a perfect choice for newer homes with a flush mount or older homes with a low depth glass window. These shades are a fantastic option for energy efficiency and will fit closely together to give you better light blockage and privacy.
Solera Soft shades
Much like the Honeycomb shades, the Solera Soft shades require a minimal inside mounting depth and also fit closely together for the best light and privacy control. When fully lowered, Solera Soft shades create a fluid, sculpted look and when raised, the gentle fabric folds layer into a unique valence.
Vignette Roman Shade
When wanting a soft, traditional look for your Bay and bow windows, the Hunter Douglas Vignette Roman Shade is an excellent option. For those windows with smaller mounting depths the Vignette Tiered Roman Shade will provide you with a low-profile fabric wrapped head rail and will offer you great light and privacy control. For the windows with additional mounting room, and the desire for the fabric to disappear when the shade is fully raised, Hunter Douglas offers the Vignette Traditional Roman Shade with its fabric wrapped Cassette.
Pirouette
Designed with soft, horizontal fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing, Hunter Douglas exclusive, Pirouette window shadings control light in an entirely new way. Soft fabric vanes close to filter natural light, or open to give a perfect outside view, while maintaining moderate daytime privacy. Fabric wrapped cassette top feature allows for the Pirouette window shading fabric to completely disappear when a full unobstructed view out the window is desired. Minimum 1″ mounting depth is required, however 3 ¾” is necessary for a fully recessed head rail.
Silhouette and Nantucket Privacy Sheers
Large Bay and Bow windows in your home will provide you with an expansive view outside, however that means it also allows a clear view into your home.
