Bay / Bow Window Quote
If you are looking at bay and bow windows in Canmore, the appeal is usually the view. A well-placed bay or bow window in a living room or kitchen turns the south or west wall into a panoramic frame for the mountains. They also add usable interior floor area without expanding the foundation, useful for built-in window seats and plant ledges. The engineering side, however, is non-trivial. Projection-style windows need proper structural support and a thermally broken seat box, both of which we engineer as part of every install.
