Bay Windows in Ottawa FAQ

What is a bay window?

A bay window is a type of window that projects outward from the wall, creating a space inside the room. Typically consisting of three panels—a large central window flanked by two smaller side windows—bay windows offer panoramic views, ample natural light, and an elegant aesthetic, both inside and outside your home.

Are bay windows energy-efficient?

Yes, bay windows can be energy-efficient, especially when equipped with features like double or triple-glazed glass, Low-E coatings, and multi-chambered frames that help insulate the space. These energy-saving technologies minimize heat loss and improve your home's thermal efficiency, making bay windows a smart choice for reducing energy costs.

Does a bay window add value to a home?

Yes, bay windows can add significant value to a home. They not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home, both inside and out but also increase the amount of natural light and usable space. Additionally, their unique design and energy efficiency can make a property more attractive to potential buyers, boosting its market value.

How to modernize a bay window?

To modernize a bay window, consider updating the window frame with sleek, contemporary vinyl. Vinyl frames offer enhanced durability, low maintenance, and excellent insulation properties. You can also opt for energy-efficient glass options like Low-E or triple-glazed panes to further improve the window's performance. This combination of vinyl frames and advanced glass technologies provides both style and energy savings for your home.

Are bay windows in style?

Bay windows continue to be in style, offering both classic and modern design elements. Their elegance adds sophistication to both traditional and contemporary homes. The panoramic views and additional natural light they provide make them a popular choice in modern home design, ensuring they stay on-trend.

How long does it take to install a bay window?

The installation of a bay window typically takes one to two days, depending on the complexity of the project and the size of the window. This includes the time for precise measurements, manufacturing, and the installation process itself. Our team ensures that every step is carefully planned for optimal fit and function.

Our Reputation is built on Trust and Quality

SK

The company salesman was great rep. He provided all necessary information and facilitated us applying for the government-sponsored interest free loan.
Fourteen windows where quickly changed by competent, knowledgeable and courteous workers. They answered all of our questions and looked after any worries we might have had. The complicated metal sheet flashing of all the windows in our mansard-type roof was done very well. Everything looks great and the house already starting to feel warmer. No cold is felt on the hands when in contact with the vinyl of the windows and very little when on the triple pan glass. Thank you so much to all of the Big City Windows & Doors staff for a job well done.

We highly recommend Big City Windows for your next window project!

We are very satisfied with the work and expertise of the staff who handled our contract.

We will share your company.

I had Big City Windows replace a patio door and a large living room window, through a recommendation from our neighbour. Well from the start of the process, to the finish. I couldnt be happier. The quality of work was next to none, the quality of the materials used were amazing The 2 employees were great!! They arrived first thing in yhe morning and worked their butts off till the job was done. My wife and I are completely satisfied!! They left a clean work place when they were done.

WD

Big City Windows and Doors is by far one of the best companies with which we have dealt. They took the time to look over our project and come up with recommendations that met our needs.
We had a new side door and door from the house to the garage replaced. We really like the new self closing hinges on the door to the garage.
The installation team was amazing. They took even the smallest detail into account when finishing up the install. You would have never known they were there.
We're already saving towards replacing our front door to make a matching set.
They will be getting our business for the foreseeable future for sure.

CD

Very happy I was shown different windows styles. We went with the larger pane and smaller opening window. It's like looking through a clear opening. We have a big bushy backyard, so nice to see it so well. I actually had a couple deer come peek in...lol. all I could see were these big ears in the dark. Our windows are lower. Also went with vinyl frames...love them. There easy to wash and remove when painting around them.
The installers were also fantastic, they even re-adjusted our front door from last march 2023 without my asking.
Thank you very much.

CI

We just got ours installed in Orangeville, very easy from sales to installation. Price and quality is great. Did not get their names, the 2 installers were polite and very proffesional, explained what they were doing, and most important, very clean! Nothing on the ground. Also, the next day, when the scrap was picked up, he too was polite and proffessional.

VK

Big City installed our steel roof and they did a very thorough job. The house looks brand new and modern and the roof will last for 50 years plus. The installers were very friendly and professional and had it all done in two days. We have neighbours walking by and complimenting us on the new beautiful steel roof. We highly recommend Big City to anyone that is looking to replace their old asphalt shingles.

CA

Bit City team did an excellent job on our roof. They are very fast and very professional in dealing with customer. They are very friendly and makes us comfortable and confident that they will do things right.

Also, the steel roofing creates an outstanding look of our house. It's 50 years warranty and it will save our money in the long run.
