There is something timeless about a bay window. Whether you are gazing out over your garden in Coulsdon or simply enjoying the world going by in Surrey, a bay window does not simply provide additional light; it completely redefines the space. At Glitz Windows, we are specialists in superior bay window replacement products that combine traditional British architecture with contemporary thermal benefits.
If you’re looking to add space, character, and value to your property, you’ve come to the right place.
What is a Bay Window?
While most people will recognize the style, a true bay window is a feature that projects outwards from the main walls of the house. This makes a “bay” inside the room, which not only gives you more floor space but also allows you to look out of the house in every direction.
Because of their projecting nature, bay windows are also the best way to make a dark room brighter, as they catch the light from every side.
Key Benefits of Bay Windows
Investing in a modern bay window offers:
- Increased natural light and wide views
- Extra interior space for seating or décor
- High-security locking systems
- Excellent thermal insulation
- Enhanced property kerb appeal and value

Types of Bay Windows
As you know, not all homes are the same and that’s why we offer a range of architectural styles to match your home’s individuality.
Canted Bay Windows
This is the most common type of bay window in homes within the UK. A canted bay window consists of a flat front and two sides that are angled. It’s the traditional look that most homes, especially Victorian and Edwardian homes, boast.
Box Bay Windows
If you prefer a modern look with a sharp appearance, then the box bay window is your best option. In this case, the side windows are angled 90 degrees to meet the front window, which is rectangular in shape. These are ideal in creating a deep internal window sill.
Oriel Windows
Oriel windows are bays that don’t extend to the ground. Instead, they are supported by a bracket or a corbel. They are ideal for designing a “nook” effect in a bedroom that’s on the upper floor.
Bay Window Materials & Customization Options
Select the material that suits your home’s style, functionality and upkeep.
uPVC Bay Windows
uPVC bay windows are easy to clean and require little maintenance. The uPVC material is highly durable and energy-efficient, with A+ ratings. Our uPVC bay windows are available in a diverse palette, including classic white, contemporary anthracite grey, and authentic wood-grain finishes. uPVC bay windows have multi-point locking systems for added security.
Aluminium Bay Windows
Aluminium bay windows feature slim profiles for the largest glass area possible. The aluminium material provides modern looks with the benefit of thermal breaks.
Timber / Heritage Bay Windows
Timber or heritage bay windows have a traditional and handcrafted appearance that is ideal for period homes. The product range includes decorative horns and astragal bars to replicate the original window. The windows are made of sustainable softwoods and hardwoods.
Bay Window Roofs: Design, Installation & Maintenance
The roof of the bay window is an essential feature of every installation. It ensures leak-proofing, the absence of cold bridges and is available in flat or pitched styles according to the property.
We inspect the existing roofs of the bays. If necessary, we install the roof to provide maximum durability, insulation and weatherproofing. A good installation of the roof ensures a seamless finish and prevents future problems.
