Our experts here at Sidex just finished a Bay window replacement in Sheboygan, WI for our new clients, the Johnson family. The client wanted to upgrade the exterior look as well as letting more light into the house. Replacing a bow window with a bay window can be a pretty straight forward project unless you need to replace any of the structure for the new window. Luckily in this situation our team didn't have to do much structural work, our team took out the Bow window and put in a new vinyl bay window. Here is a description of how the job is done:
- Removal of the Bow Window: Carefully remove the window which involves removing the window frame, glass panels, and any surrounding trim or siding. Ensure that the area is properly supported to prevent damage to the building structure.
- Structural Modifications: Prepare the opening for the new bay window. This may require reinforcing the wall and ensuring that the structure area is maintained properly. The new bay window typically needs additional support such as a header and a bracket system to accommodate its projection.
- Installation of the Bay window: Postion and install the new bay window, which includes and center panel and the two angled side panels. You need to ensure that the new window is leveled and securely fastened. Proper insulation and sealing are crucial to prevent any drafts or moisture intrusion.
- Interior and exterior finishing: Complete the installation on the interior by adding any trim such as drywall or molding and finish the exterior with siding or other material to match to existing facade. Repaint or refinish as needed for the new window to match the rest of the home.
- Inspection and Clean up: Inspect the installation for any issues or gaps and make any necessary adjustments. Clean up the work area and any debris from the removal of the old window.

"My husband and I recently went thru Sidex to replaced our Bow window to a bay window and we couldn't be happier with the results. The bay window has transformed our living room, adding a modern touch and allowing more natural light. The installation process was smooth. The team was professional and efficient. I would definitely recommend Sidex for any future home projects."
