Desigining for Challenging Windows - Bow Windows

Bow Windows

Bow windows are different in that they are more curved and usually have one common casing around all of the windows.  There is typically a combination of four or more casement windows, which join together to form an arch.  The challenge of these windows is that they are narrow and close together with limited mounting space for treatments.  There are also multiple angles to contend with.



For these windows, we will typically recommend a functional inner treatment and dress the entire window by mounting the soft treatment on the outer wall.  By mounting the treatment above the window, it optimizes the amount of light entering the room but privacy isn’t sacrificed because of the shades.  Sheers, roman shades, cellular shades or blinds can be used on windows for privacy depending upon the depth of the windows and available mounting space.
