Bow Window Contractor in Minneapolis

Exterior Remodeling, Window Contractor

Bay and bow windows add a touch of flair and style to your home. Not to mention, they make it easier to take in the beautiful view outside. In this post, we offer tips for choosing the bay or bow replacement window and contractor to fit your Minneapolis, MN, home’s look and budget.

What is a bow window?

Bow windows are a combination of three or more windows set next to each other at an angle so they extend out over the home’s exterior wall. The windows are set in such a way that the angle forms a curve from one window to the next (see the featured image above). This type of window is available in different combinations of casement, picture, or double-hung options.

Choosing an energy-efficient bay or bow window

New bow windows offer not only style upgrades, but also provide increased energy efficiency for your home. When your old windows begin to allow drafts into your home, it’s time for a replacement. Bow windows are an excellent way to add natural light and energy efficiency to your Minneapolis home.

But how do you choose which bow window is right for you? 

Like any other kind of window, you will want to look for ENERGY STAR labels. These labels are government-backed and will help you see which windows are certified as energy efficient. Also, look for Performance labels from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) which show you the energy performance ratings. An experienced and certified replacement window contractor, like Alexander Exteriors, will also be able to help you choose the right balance of U-Factor, Visible Transmittance, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, and Air Leakage performance.
