Some Advantages Of Kitchen Bay Windows

By Bruce Roberts

Kitchen bay windows can look very nice in your room and it can be very useful. It can bring a dark, unappealing room into light. There are a lot of advantages to owning a house with a kitchen bay window. Such a window is both practical and attractive.

You may think that adding a kitchen bay window would make a lovely accent to your room. You might not be thinking any further than that, but other reasons, apart from looks, are also important in choosing a bay window for your kitchen.

The looks are definitely the main cause for your purchase. There are 3 aspects to the appearance of the bay window. One is the window frame. Bay windows can have several frame types. Nowadays they are metal frames when you buy them from the store, but you can seat them in new woodwork to let them seem a part of your house. If you have an older house, you can purchase used lumber to fashion you framework and sill from them instead. Whatever you choose, make sure your window will be framed beautifully.

You also need to take into consideration the glass itself as a feature of your window. If you are choosing how large to make the window, you also must determine how many sides that the bay window will have. This is because a bay window is made of 3 or more glass panes put together at angles. You can have a simple 3-pane window, or you can have many panes.

Sunshine is a specialty of bay windows. If the sun is in the right location, sunlight streams into your kitchen and breakfast nook areas. If your windows face east, of course you will get morning sunlight & if they face west, you will get afternoon sunshine. No lighting fixture can brighten your kitchen in a way that the natural light from the sun can. Plus, the kitchen bay windows provide an open feeling to a place that usually seems too closed off otherwise.
