Q: How does a bow window differ from a bay window?

• <div><p>The differences between a bay window versus a bow window involve the number of individual windows and the angle at which both windows extend from the home. A bow window has four to six individual windows that form a curve outside the exterior wall. A bay window usually has two small windows on the edges that angle outward from the exterior wall and a large window in the middle that&rsquo;s parallel to the home&rsquo;s exterior wall.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for windows to rattle in the wind?

• <div><p>No, it&rsquo;s not normal for windows to rattle in the wind. If they do, it may signal that there&rsquo;s a larger problem at play. Common reasons that windows rattle in the wind are because the glass isn&rsquo;t secure enough, the frame is loose, or the wood is rotting. In any of these cases, you should identify the problem and take steps to fix it.</p></div>

Q: Are egress windows required?

• <div><p>Egress windows are typically required for basements with habitable space or living quarters. Not all basements or lower levels require egress windows. However, egress windows are required in homes with living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms in a basement. The International Residential Code and International Building Code require sleeping rooms to have a specific size egress window. Check your local building codes to confirm the requirements in your area.</p></div>

Q: How do I tell what brand of window I have?

• <div><p>Look for stickers at the top or inside of the frame, like in the tracks when the window is open. Some brands also stamp their name onto the frame itself or place it between the panes of glass, although this is less common. If you can&rsquo;t find the info on the window itself, consider asking your neighbors or HOA.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to enlarge a window?

• <div><p>Most professionals can enlarge a window in five to 10 hours, depending on the window location, the exterior wall material, how easy it is to cut through it, and how much buildback you&rsquo;ll need after the installation is complete. However, more complex projects can take two to three days from start to finish.</p></div>
