We use the Profile 22 Optima System to manufacture our Bow & Bay Windows.
Your customers can choose from Casement, French Casement, Flush Sash, and Tilt & Turn Windows for their bay window.
A Bow or Bay Window is the perfect way to open up a home, letting in lots of light and to allow for more space. We use the Profile 22 Optima system to manufacture our uPVC windows. Several window styles can be used in the window, so your customer can get a perfect fit for their home. The modern uPVC profile ensures these bow & bay windows uphold an impressive degree of structural integrity, offering a highly impressive lifespan to the homeowner. Bow windows have typically four or five panels structured on shallow angles. Bay windows have three panels, creating a dramatic angular curve.
By using the Optima range, our bow & bay windows can provide U-values as low as 0.9 W/m2K & WER Values of A+.
The profile is manufactured, tested & accredited to British & European standards, meeting all requirements.
The slim frame allows for a larger glazing area, lighting up the property & providing panoramic views of the outside.
These windows have a 10mm cover on weatherseals, making water ingress & cold draughts problems of the past.
These windows require an occasional wipe with a damp cloth to look good-as-new. The colour won't ever fade.
Our Graf SLS Seamless Welder delivers an almost invisible join on foils. This technology offers homeowners a stunning finish.

Yes! We offer double & triple glazing, as well as a variety of glass options, so this window can truly be shaped to meet the homeowner's standards.
The Bow & Bay window uses the Optima system which meets the highest standards of security. The window is fitted with a high-security multi-point locking system. It's also internally glazed, preventing the window from being removed from the outside. The uPVC profile itself is durable and strong, standing strong against uninvited visitors. It can be further reinforced with thermal inserts, aluminium and/or steel.
If you’re a homeowner wondering what a bow & bay window is, we’ve got you sorted! Bow & Bay windows are easy to get confused and, in fact, are two types of window that aren’t that alike. A bay window traditionally consists of three glass panels and protrudes away from the house. A bow window traditionally is made up of four or five identical windows, fitted at an angle of 10 degrees.
Bow & Bay windows are popular in small and medium sized properties, opening up the living space and flooding the property with light. Both windows provide you with more of a view of outside your home, letting the maximum amount of light enter your property. Within the design, you can incorporate other styles such as the casement, flush casement, French casement, tilt & turn and sliding sash window.
