Expand Your View and Add Instant Square Footage with Custom Projection Windows

In North Dakota, we spend a lot of time indoors during the winter months. Why not make that time brighter? Bay and bow windows from The Window & Door Store are designed to “project” outward from your home’s exterior, creating a panoramic view of the ND landscape while adding a functional interior nook for seating, plants, or decor.

Whether you want to frame the sunset in Bismarck or bring more natural light into your Fargo living room, our high-performance windows are built to handle the -30°F wind chills of the Great Plains.

Bay vs. Bow: Which is Right for Your ND Home?

Both styles add dimension and “curb appeal,” but they offer different architectural benefits:

  • Bay Windows: Typically made of three glass panels—a large center picture window flanked by two smaller windows (usually double-hung or casement for ventilation). They create a sharp, angular look and are perfect for creating a cozy reading nook or window seat.

  • Bow Windows: Comprised of four to six window panels of equal size, arranged in a gentle, rounded curve. These create a grand, “theatrical” view and are ideal for wide openings where you want to maximize natural light and panoramic views.

Engineered for the North Dakota Climate

Many projection windows are notorious for being “drafty” because they extend beyond the home’s thermal envelope. At The Window & Door Store, we use ProVia® and Sunrise Restorations technology to ensure your new windows are the warmest spots in the house:

  • Maximum Insulation: Our bay and bow units feature insulated seats and foam-filled frames to prevent the “cold floor” effect common in cheaper alternatives.

  • Fiberglass Reinforcement: We use built-in fiberglass technology that is 9x stronger than standard vinyl. This ensures your window won’t bow or flex, even during extreme ND temperature swings.

  • Advanced Glass Packages: Triple-pane glass with Argon or Krypton gas fills acts as a thermal shield, keeping heat in during February and out during July.

  • Airtight Seals: Professional-grade weatherstripping and precision installation eliminate the drafts that plague the Fargo and Bismarck areas.

Customization to Match Your Style

Your home is an investment, and your windows should reflect your personal taste. We offer:

  • Interior Wood Finishes: Real wood interiors (Oak, Cherry, or Maple) that can be stained to match your existing trim.

  • Maintenance-Free Exteriors: Durable vinyl or fiberglass exteriors that never need painting and won’t peel or blister.

  • Integrated Lighting: Option to add recessed lighting into the window header for a dramatic evening effect.

  • Decorative Grids: Choose from various grid patterns to match the colonial, craftsman, or modern aesthetic of your neighborhood.

The “No-Nonsense” Lifetime Warranty

We understand that a bay or bow window is a significant home improvement. That’s why we back our products and our installation with a comprehensive lifetime warranty. From the glass to the hardware—and even the labor—we’ve got you covered. If you live in Fargo, Bismarck, or anywhere in between, you can trust that your investment is protected for life.
