Bay and bow windows project outward from the wall to bring in light from multiple angles, add usable floor space, and create one of the most striking exterior features a home can have.
Get Your Free QuoteBay windows are one of the most visible and impactful external features on a Sunderland home — replacing tired frames transforms the whole front elevation.
The angled side panels let light in from three directions simultaneously — significantly brighter than a standard flat window of the same overall width.
Available in both uPVC and aluminium frames — choose the warmth and value of uPVC or the ultra-slim sightlines of aluminium for a more contemporary finish.
One of the most rewarding window investments you can make — adding light, space, and character to your home. Installed across Sunderland by Range Windows
Adds Usable Floor Space
The projection creates a deep window sill or seat area inside the room — a practical gain of usable space that a flat window simply can't provide. Popular for living rooms and front bedrooms across Sunderland.
Light from Three Directions
The angled or curved side panels admit light from both sides as well as directly ahead — noticeably brighter than a standard flat window of the same width, at any time of day.
Increases Property Value
Bay windows are one of the few home improvements where the added value consistently exceeds the installation cost. Buyers notice them — and they feature prominently in estate agent photography for good reason.
Bay and bow windows come in several configurations — each suited to different property types and elevations. We supply and install all standard bay window styles across Sunderland and Tyne and Wear.
The most common bay window in Sunderland. A wider centre panel flanked by two side panels set at 45° or 90°. Found on the majority of Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached and terraced properties across Tyne and Wear. The side panels typically carry side-hung casements; the centre panel is usually fixed or a wide casement.
Projects outward at 90° with two right-angle corners — creating a rectangular box projection. Maximises usable internal floor space and is particularly effective on properties where the projection is large. Popular on 1930s and post-war housing.
Uses four or five equal panels set at gentle angles to form a curved outward projection. Softer and more ornate in appearance than an angled bay — suits period and Victorian properties where a sweeping curved front is preferred. Each panel is typically narrower than a standard bay panel.
All bay window styles are available with standard A-rated double glazing or triple glazing for maximum thermal performance. Available in white, cream, anthracite grey, black, rosewood, golden oak, Irish oak, and chartwell green — including dual-colour options.

A bay window projects outward at angles — typically 45° or 90° — with a flat front. A bow window uses multiple equal panels set at gradual angles to form a curved projection. Bay windows are more common on traditional Sunderland properties; bow windows are softer in appearance and suit more ornate period styles.
Yes. Bay windows consistently add both aesthetic and market value to a property — increasing usable floor space, natural light, and kerb appeal. The added value typically outweighs the installation cost, making them one of the better-returning home improvements.
Replacing an existing bay window like-for-like generally falls under permitted development — no planning permission required. Installing a new bay where there was previously a flat wall is a structural alteration and may need planning permission and Building Regulations approval. We advise on this during the free survey.
Yes — and we recommend it. Replacing the bay window frames is the ideal time to address the bay roof. Lead flashing, felt, and tiles can all deteriorate independently of the frames. We assess the bay roof during the free survey and include it in the quotation if required.
Yes. Modern uPVC bay windows with A-rated double glazing are highly energy efficient. All our bay window installations use argon-filled glazed units and warm-edge spacer bars as standard. For maximum performance, triple glazing is also available.
The most common configuration on Sunderland semi-detached and terraced properties is a three-panel bay with 45° angled side panels flanking a wider centre light — the standard Victorian and Edwardian style that appears widely across Tyne and Wear.
White, cream, anthracite grey, black, rosewood, golden oak, Irish oak, and chartwell green — including dual-colour options. White and cream are the most popular choices for traditional Sunderland properties. Contact us for a full colour brochure.

Fantastic experience with Lee from Range Windows. Prompt efficient service, windows swiftly measured up and date of installation agreed. Call on the day of installation to confirm the time and Lee arrived as agreed. Fab installation and exceptionally happy with the product. Will definitely recommend.

Had a new door fitted by Range Windows and Doors today, door looks amazing and service was brilliant. Everything was all cleaned up after the job was finished too which was a bonus. Highly recommended.

Definitely recommend this company! Service is 5 star, they try to help any way they can. Fitting me in to fit a low profile door so my wheelchair could get in my new home. The door is easy to work, draft free and feels very secure and solid. A very caring genuine company which is hard to find nowadays.

Adam and Brad came early, on time and got to work straight away. They worked hard, fitting 3 new bedroom windows then a back door — all finished in the day. Every item was installed well. They cleaned up everything inside and out, taking all rubbish away with them. Thank you for your good work.

Within a day Adam came to the house for a free quote — no pressure, no rush. Very professional and we chose this company just from how Adam represented them. Lee measured everything up within days, giving honest advice where other companies were saying to replace everything. Outstanding service.

I couldn't recommend these guys enough! Service was spot on start to finish. Lee and the guys are so knowledgeable about their products, even dropping off brochures so I could make a decision in my own time. No pressured sales, just down to earth people. Adam and Brad fitted the door — so professional.
