Bow Window Replacement
The elegant curve of a bow window can open up any room, and create a rounded appearance on the outside of the home. Unlike a bay window, a bow window typically consists of 4 or 5 openings with the option of double-hung or casement windows.

This the second time I have had the team at Riverbend replace old windows for us, just like the first time, the experience was awesome. Really can't say enough good things. Prices are competitive, workmanship is outstanding, they work efficiently and leave everything pristine. Matt and Jeff did the install today and went above and beyond. Last time Shawn and another gentleman did the install and they were the same, so whoever you get you're in good hands.Mark & Lacey Green
Shawn came very quickly and repaired the hinge mechanism on our casement window. He was fast, very friendly, and completely fixed the problem. He didn’t even want to charge us for the service but we insisted we pay. We will certainly be calling Riverbend again in the future. Thank you!Jennifer Hentz

Frequently Asked Questions
Bow windows can indeed be installed in older homes, but there are several considerations to keep in mind. Since bow windows typically protrude outward from the home’s exterior, they require sufficient structural support to bear the weight of the window assembly. In older homes with outdated or inadequate framing, additional reinforcement may be necessary to accommodate the installation of bow windows. Additionally, it’s essential to assess the condition of the existing window opening and surrounding walls to ensure they are in good condition and capable of supporting the new window. Consulting with a professional window installer or contractor can help assess the feasibility of installing bow windows in older homes and address any special considerations or modifications needed.
Bow windows and bay windows are both popular choices for adding architectural interest and natural light to a home, but they have distinct differences in their design and construction. Bow windows feature a curved or arched design, typically composed of four or more equal-sized window panels arranged in a gentle curve. In contrast, bay windows consist of three or more window panels arranged in a protruding fashion, with a larger center window flanked by smaller side windows angled towards the exterior. While both styles offer expansive views and increased natural light, bow windows have a softer, more rounded appearance, while bay windows tend to have sharper angles and a more defined silhouette.
When selecting replacement windows, several essential qualities should be considered to ensure optimal performance and longevity. These include energy efficiency, durability, aesthetics, ease of maintenance, and warranty coverage. Energy-efficient windows with features like Low-E glass and insulated frames can help lower energy bills and improve indoor comfort. Durable materials such as vinyl, fiberglass, or aluminum ensure longevity and resistance to weathering and corrosion. Aesthetic considerations such as window style, grille patterns, and frame color should complement the architectural style of your home. Easy-to-clean features like tilt-in sashes can make maintenance more manageable, while warranty coverage provides peace of mind against defects or issues.
Professional window installation offers several advantages over DIY installation, including expertise, efficiency, warranty protection, and peace of mind. Professional installers have the necessary skills, experience, and equipment to ensure proper measurement, fit, and installation of windows, minimizing the risk of errors and ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Additionally, professional installation often comes with warranty coverage, providing protection against defects or installation issues that may arise. While DIY installation may seem cost-effective initially, it can lead to costly mistakes and compromised performance if not done correctly. Investing in professional installation ensures a seamless and hassle-free process, saving time, effort, and potential headaches in the long run.
Several warning signs indicate that it may be time to replace your windows. These include visible damage such as cracks, warping, or rotting in the frame or sashes, which can compromise the window’s structural integrity and energy efficiency. Additionally, difficulty opening, closing, or locking the windows, drafts or air leaks around the frame, increased noise infiltration, and rising energy bills are all signs that your windows may need replacement. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s essential to consult with a professional window contractor to assess the condition of your windows and recommend the best course of action.
