Shaped Windows

Gable end windows are often triangular, but can also be raked. Like most window shapes, triangular gable windows or raked windows often cost more than standard rectangular windows. This is due to the extra labour and more intricate process it takes to create them. The cost of gable window is further affected by their size and material. They also require building work too, so this will factor in the cost too.

An eyebrow window is an arched window that is wider than it is tall, the look like little eyes protruding from roofs of the older buildings they often sit in. It is for this reason they are sometimes called an eyebrow dormer, in the UK you often find them in larger thatched cottages. Today, they are most popular in America, though you can find some examples in the UK.

You can get round windows that open as well as fixed round windows, it just depends on the style you get and the company you go through.

Our round windows are only offered as fixed units, which means greater design flexibility for you and makes them more affordable.

An oriel window is like a bay window, but it juts out from the wall. Cantilevers or corbels joined to an external wall support the structure, instead of walls linked to the ground. In the past they improved views on narrow streets, often so people could see down to the sea. Modern oriel bay windows sit on the ground floor, first or second floors, and sometimes even span two floors. We offer oriel windows, but we call them plant-on windows.
