What is a Bow Window?
Bow windows are essentially curved bay windows, offering a stylish way to create additional space and enhance your home in Reading and the surrounding areas. Also known as compass or oriel windows, their curved design can provide wider, panoramic views of your garden and surroundings while allowing plenty of natural light into your home.
A bow window is typically made up of three or more uPVC casement windows arranged in a gentle semicircular configuration and fitted to a flat wall. This creates a smooth, curved appearance that can complement a variety of traditional and modern properties. Bow windows can also be finished with a canopy above for an attractive architectural feature.
Our bow and bay windows can achieve an excellent WER rating of A+14, helping to improve your home’s thermal efficiency. By retaining more heat inside your property, they can help reduce your reliance on central heating, potentially lowering your energy bills and reducing your home’s carbon footprint.
What is a Bay Window?
Bay windows are a popular home improvement choice that project outwards from the wall of your property, creating additional space inside while providing wider views of your surroundings. Their design can also help bring more natural light into your home, making living spaces feel brighter and more spacious.
Typically, a bay window is made up of three or more individual windows, often including our uPVC casement windows. Combining the practicality of uPVC with energy-efficient double glazing, these windows can provide a balance of style, comfort and functionality.
Our bay windows are ideal for homeowners looking to add another dimension to their property in Reading and the surrounding areas. By projecting outwards from the existing wall, they can create additional floor space while allowing more natural light into your home and giving rooms a greater sense of openness.
Why Choose Bow and Bay Windows
Whether you’re looking for a bay or bow design, Abbey Windows offers high-quality uPVC windows designed to complement homes across Reading and the surrounding areas.
Our uPVC bow and bay windows are manufactured using Liniar’s patented profile system, helping to enhance thermal performance and improve insulation. With a choice of styles and finishes available, you can create a look that suits your property while enjoying the benefits of modern uPVC glazing.
As many bay and bow windows feature a roof or canopy, we also offer a range of standard and bespoke options in GRP or hand-finished designs. This allows your new installation to be tailored to the proportions and character of your home.
Security is another key benefit, with our bow and bay windows featuring high-quality locking systems designed to provide reliable protection. Our shoot bolt locks are up to 300% thicker than standard alternatives and meet Secured by Design standards, while a 10-year guarantee provides additional peace of mind.

Before Installation, Mr and Mrs Austin had an idea in mind that they wished to try, and found Abbey Windows to be the most affordable, well respected manufacturers around.It was during a game of Grand Theft Auto that his son was playing that Mr Austin gained inspiration for this idea. He saw a full height bay window in a Miami condo and thought it would look good in his house.We are highly-flexible in design, therefore we were delighted to assess his space and find a suited match. We were required to remove a uPVC bay window and the brickwork below down to floor level, and then install a full height uPVC Liniar window.At the end, we reinstated the timber work on the inside and made good the brickwork outside. He asked for a Black woodgrain effect to maintain the heritage design, yet achieved a dual colour look with a matching white uPVC interior.Perfectionists
We ensure every detail is as specified by the customer when supplying and installing new bay windows. Our manufacturers at Liniar are a leading supplier of uPVC in the UK, which pays testimony to the quality of our products.Before, Mr and Mrs Austin had an old fashioned bay window, which had lost its original sparkle, and did not provide the cleanest aesthetics.Our precision-engineered uPVC profile provides sleek sightlines for broadened views through the bay window. These protrude away from the home in a perfectly executed degree of accuracy, improving the style and performance of his home.Liniar uPVC windows consist of high-grade uPVC, for a more advanced level of performance. The customer can now enjoy warmer evenings with a thermally-broken multi chambered design that features the very latest, innovative weatherproofing technologies.Our perfect uPVC bay windows are 100% weathertight, and 100% recyclable. We helped the customer dispose of his previous uPVC windows and replaced them with 100% lead-free, longer-life Liniar windows.
Cost-Effective Home Improvements
We offer high-quality double glazing solutions here at Abbey Windows, including our exceptional uPVC bay windows. Before, our customer’s bay windows occupied a large amount of space and did not complement the overall aesthetic of their home.Since Abbey Windows came to visit, it has been a complete turnaround. After achieving a competitive quote on tailored bay windows, our team worked relentlessly to resurrect the appearance of their home.The sleek black profile now provides a beautiful contrasting look to the white brickwork of their property, while the expanded, uninterrupted glazed areas provide remarkable views of the outdoors from the warmth of their own home.They could not believe it when they saw the new results of our interventions. The whole property has been transformed with our stunning uPVC Liniar window, as it matches the other windows for an attractive appearance as a whole.Transformation
The brickwork underneath their original bay window did not enhance the beauty of the home. This heritage building needed more light and better views of their spectacular garden.By knocking through the wall and creating a thermally-efficient wall of glass, they now have everything they wanted. Furthermore, they have not sacrificed their security, as our windows incorporate a highly-secure uPVC profile, which is durable and rigid, and promises never to warp, rot, or decay over time. This ensured that the transformation was complete.The weatherseal design has improved greatly with innovative EPDM rubber gaskets and weather brushes, meanwhile, the energy-efficient glazing helps retain heat inside their home and reduces the usage of their central heating system. This also adversely lowered their carbon footprint, a feat that they were proud to be a part of.Bay Window Prices Thatcham

Happy Customers
Our Reading customers were so happy with the end result that they sent us some photographs and the following positive review!'Hi Andy and AshleyJust a quick note to say how pleased we are with the new windows and how the installation went yesterday. The two Chris's and Liam were excellent. They worked really hard, were courteous, professional and did the job with as little fuss and mess as possible. I thought I'd send you some pictures. The first one is how the original windows looked and the rest are the new installation. The whole idea was to replace the old, dysfunctional and rotting 1930's windows with new modern ones whilst keeping the style of the house the same, as the detailed leading was such a distinctive feature of the property.As you can see this is exactly what was achieved and we really appreciate your hard work getting the frames and lead design just right. We like that we removed one vertical lead pattern from each window as this has also had the desired effect of increasing the light in the rooms.If you want to take more professional pictures please feel free to do so and we would happily act as a reference for any future Abbey Windows customers with similar requirements.'

What is the difference between a bow window and a bay window?
The main difference is the shape and number of window sections. Bay windows typically consist of three or more windows arranged at angles, creating a more angular projection from the property. Bow windows usually feature four or more windows joined together to create a gentle, curved appearance. Both options can provide additional space, wider views, and increased natural light.
Are bow windows cheaper than bay windows?
The cost of a bow or bay window depends on factors such as its size, design, materials, glazing, and installation requirements. Bow windows can sometimes cost more because they typically feature more individual window units and a larger curved structure. The best way to compare the cost of each option for your home is to get in touch with our team today at Abbey Windows.
Does a bay window add value to a house?
A well-designed bay window can add value and appeal to your home by creating additional space, increasing natural light, and improving curb appeal. While there is no guaranteed increase in property value, a high-quality bay window can be an attractive feature for potential buyers and enhance the overall appearance and functionality of your home.
Are bow and bay windows suitable for homes in Reading?
How much do bow and bay windows cost in Reading?
