Bay windows make an amazing addition to both the interior and exterior of any home. They’re usually installed on the ground level, and the panes are typically in odd-numbered groups of three and five. If you’re considering window replacement in your home, here are some advantages of bay windows to make your decision a little easier.
Advantages of bay windows
Increased property values
Although any sort of window replacement will cost you money, bay windows are striking enough visually to give you your money back when it comes time to sell your house. On the outside, bay windows can give a super modern look. On the inside, they seem to create extra space in the rooms, and they make your house feel homier. The increased square footage that bay windows offer will certainly add to the value of your home.
