7000 Bay Window

Combine functionality with craftsmanship

Description

New Life to an Old Room:

A bay window will create greater space inside your home. Bay windows add depth to the opening and will allow you to get a larger view of the space outside your home. The hardwood frame of these windows will add warmth to the surrounding area, as well as creating a seat or shelf for you to utilize. The seat of this window can be cushioned or decorated, and can be a great place to relax on a beautiful day. The added depth of these windows will make your room feel more spacious and open.

BAY WINDOWS REACH OUT TO PROVIDE YOUR ROOM WITH MORE NATURAL LIGHT. INSTALLING ONE OF THESE WINDOWS CAN BE VIEWED AS AN EASY-TO-DO ADDITION TO ANY ROOM.

With its heavily insulated seat board and Energy Star Rated Glazings packages, Smarter bay windows offer outstanding performance in a part of the home that is particularly vulnerable to thermal leaks.

Standard Features

CNC PRECISION & DOWEL PIN LOCATION

The foundation for quality when building bay windows is in the plywood frame and vertical mullions. If these two design elements are subpar, then trouble will follow. All of our frames are cut with and mullions located by using precision CNC technology. Reaching this high level of accuracy assures that every bay window we sell is rich in craftsmanship and durability.

PREMIUM GRADE HARDWOOD PLYWOOD CONSTRUCTION

Head, seat and jambs feature furniture-grade 1-1/4″ hardwood veneer plywood in either Red Oak (for staining) or Birch (for painting).

REAL WOOD INTERIOR TRIM

The interior of your new bay window will be trimmed with solid Red Oak or Birch. Real wood interior trim adds warmth and craftsmanship to these showcase windows. The molded trim breaks up an otherwise flat and bland appearance making the bay feel like it is a part of the room and not just an afterthought.

INSULATED SILL DESIGN

Each seat board is insulated to ensure quality performance and dependable energy savings.

DUAL MULLION SYSTEM

Our two-part system combines the common steel rod mullion with the structural integrity of a solid mullion.

25% stronger than standard woods, such as pine.
Moisture resistant filler and will not warp or twist over time.
The pressed force of the steel rod mullion assembly will not loosen or fail over time – unlike lag bolts, screws or clips.

WEEPED SILL PAN SYSTEM

The sill pan is fully weeped and features a sloped sill. This system is a secondary measure which protects the internal assembly from, unlikely, water penetration or condensation.

OFFSET NOSE DESIGN & EXTERIOR APPEARANCE

The exterior was designed to offer functionality, along with a regal appearance. The offset nose, beveled profiles, and nonlinear jambs work together flawlessly to provide superior craftsmanship while helping direct water away from important areas.

Design Features

DEAD STOP INSTALLATION

Smarter 7000 insert windows are independently installed and are mulled together using our “Dual Mullion” system providing the freedom to combine virtually any window styles. Inserts can be installed on jobsite and they can be removed individually if needed.

MOISTURE RESISTANT FILLER

Our mullion not only provides unprecedented structural stability to the frame but also acts as a moisture resistant filler. It effectively eliminates condensation associated with ambient air and serves as a non-conductive thermal break.

WEEPED SILL PAN SYSTEM

Every bay window features a fully integrated and weeped sill pan – carefully designed to provide an efficient secondary measure against water penetration. A sloped sill feeds into large water chambers that drain through discreetly fabricated weep holes located on the exterior cladding. The weep holes are baffled to reduce wind infiltration and to keep insects out. In the unlikely case that water or condensation reaches the internal assembly, the panning system protects the window from damage and keeps it dry.

INSULATED SILL

In a world of growing energy concerns and rising energy costs, insulating the seat board is a necessity. A well-insulated seat board helps lower energy costs and protects against cold air transfer, condensation problems, and finish failures. Our bay windows come with an insulated seat board that has been integrated seamlessly into the window’s overall design. A 1-1/2” thick insulated panel is attached to the hardwood plywood seat. Combined, this creates a 2-3/4” sill which yields an insulating value of R7.

OFFSET NOSE DESIGN & EXTERIOR APPEARANCE

Our exterior design comprises a unique combination of our offset nose, beveled profiles and non-linear jambs. Each component works in unison to create a properly finished regal exterior appearance that exudes a level of craftsmanship uncommon in most designs. Functionally, the offset nose correctly tucks exterior casing away, creating an overhang. The overhang aids in water deflection and leaves a seamless nose molding without any unfinished areas to be sealed or maintained. Furthermore, a drip edge at the top of the unit works to direct water away from these important connections.

DUAL MULLION CONSTRUCTION

Ordinarily, bay windows are constructed using hollow vinyl mullions and a steel threaded rod or a solid wood mullion connected by lag bolts, screws or clips. Our bay windows are manufactured with both solid wood mullions and a continuous threaded rod that is connected with a commercial-grade T-nut at the seat, then runs to the nut connection at head board. The combination of these two design elements is unmatched in strength and stability. Structurally sound, this design will not warp, sag, or pull apart over time to ensure the units are weatherproof and remain long-lasting fixtures.
