The History of Bay Windows
Bay windows have a long and rich history in the UK, dating back to the medieval times. They were originally used as a way of extending the living space of a building, creating a small alcove or recess that could be used for seating, storage or display. Bay windows also allowed more natural light and ventilation to enter the room, as well as offering a better view of the surroundings.
Bay windows became more popular and elaborate during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, when they were often used to decorate the front façades of houses and buildings. They were seen as a sign of wealth and status, as well as a way of expressing individuality and style. Bay windows were often adorned with ornamental features such as stained glass, mouldings, columns and pediments.
Today, bay windows are still a desirable and attractive feature of many homes in the UK, adding character and charm to any property. They can also increase the value and curb appeal of your home, as well as improving the comfort and functionality of your living space.
