Why Summer is Always Better with Bay Windows

Whenever summer comes around, you can guarantee there’ll be one kind of home owner walking around with a smile on his or her face. The bay windows owner loves summer like no one else.

Why is that? What is it about bays that make such a difference when the sun comes out?

Think of this: it’s sunny, it’s hot and the flowers are blooming. There are birds singing in the garden and insects buzzing drowsily in the bushes. So far so good – but when the sun starts to dim at the end of the day, who’s going to catch the heat inside? That’s right- the bay windows owner.

A bay provides a wonderful indoor nook from which to enjoy the garden and the weather, when it gets too hot or sticky outside – you get some nice cool shade but you can still see and experience the wonderful weather. The bay becomes the warmest place left from which to view the world. Because it is glass on three sides it works like a sort of mini conservatory – letting the outside come into you, without you having to go out in it.

British weather is famously changeable – and the British summer has as many days where the wind puts a chill; on everything as not. Bay windows solve that problem rather neatly. Out of the wind, the sun can still be lovely and warm – and with the right arrangement of furniture, a reading chair, say, and a bookcase full of holiday classics, the bay can become the ideal place to while away a summer’s afternoon.

Seen from the outside, a bay window is just as inviting. Having bays on your home adds an extra dimension to the room that the bay is in – when you’re coming home you can see the lights shining out of those three windows and you know that you are seconds away from relaxing for the evening.

Modern bay windows are packed full of safety features and emissions controls to make sure that your home is as safe and eco friendly as it is beautiful. You’ll find that most come with a sequential point locking system as standard – ideal for homes with children. You can set the aperture and lock it in place, which means you don’t have to worry about the kids jumping in and out, making a mess, and endangering themselves and their friends.

You’ll find most modern bays come with various cladding options – you can have aluminium cladding designed to look like milled wood, for example, or PVC. The cladding on your bay windows keeps the outside where it should be – out – and protects both window and frame from the effects of weather and ageing.

A bay window is ideal for all seasons. You can snuggle up warmly and look at the snow in the winter – or feel connected to the outside as spring warms up to summer and lets life back into the world. Whatever time of year, and whatever you’re looking out on – do it in style and comfort with a bay window.

Here’s the thing about bay windows. They take the whole idea of the window, which is of course to make the person inside see out, and the person outside see in, and extend it to its maximum expression.
