Bay windows extend beyond exterior walls, creating cozy window seats, plant displays, and panoramic views of your surroundings. In Gulf South homes, bay windows transform ordinary rooms into brighter, more spacious areas that feel larger without adding square footage.
LAS designs and installs custom bay windows built specifically for our Southern climate, engineered to handle heat, humidity, and storm conditions while providing the energy efficiency Gulf Coast homeowners need.
Whether you're remodeling a historic New Orleans home, updating a Metairie residence, or building new construction on the Northshore, bay windows add character and function that standard flat windows can't match in:
- Living rooms and front sitting rooms where they create natural gathering spots
- Dining rooms where extended views enhance meals
- Primary bedrooms where they add luxury and morning light
- Kitchens when space allows for a bright breakfast nook feel
- Anywhere you want a focal point and expanded view
How Do Bay Windows Work?
Bay windows consist of three or more window panels joined at angles to project outward from your home's exterior wall. The typical configuration includes a large center window flanked by two smaller side windows set at 30 or 45-degree angles.
The side windows can be operable casement or double-hung styles, allowing ventilation from multiple directions, or they can be fixed for a streamlined look.
Bay windows are built as separate units in our facility, then installed into framed openings that accommodate the angled projection. LAS uses custom angled mullions and trim for a polished, finished look. The angled design creates interior space at the window base, perfect for seating, storage, or display.
Bay Windows vs. Bow Windows
Bay and bow windows both project outward to bring in more light, but the shape is different. Bay windows typically use three angled panels for a more defined look and a deeper interior ledge. Bow windows use four to six panels in a gentle curve for a softer exterior profile and a wider arc of glass. Traditional facades and straight rooflines tend to pair naturally with bay windows, while contemporary elevations or softer exterior lines often look best with a bow window.
Which is right for our home?
- Choose a bay window if you want a more defined, angled look and a deeper interior ledge that works well for a window seat, plants, or extra display space.
- Choose a bow window if you want a softer curved profile and a wider arc of glass that spreads natural light across the room more evenly.

The LAS Difference
LAS has designed, manufactured, and installed windows for Gulf Coast homes for decades. Our bay windows are built in our local facility specifically for New Orleans, Metairie, Baton Rouge, the Northshore, and Coastal Mississippi and Alabama conditions. We understand the challenges our climate creates and engineer products that handle these conditions year after year.
When you choose LAS bay windows, you work with one team from consultation through installation and service. We measure your openings precisely, custom build your bay window configuration, install it with our own crews who know Gulf South construction, and provide ongoing service and support.
With LAS, you're not buying from one company and having another install. You're working with LAS throughout.
Our commitment to quality means using welded vinyl frames with superior strength and weather resistance, insulated glass packages designed for Southern heat and UV exposure, and installation methods proven in Gulf Coast conditions. We build windows to last decades, not just pass inspection.
