Aurora CO Window Replacement provides professional bay & bow windows in Aurora, CO for residential and commercial properties across the east Denver metro. More often than anywhere else on this site, we end up talking a caller out of what they phoned about. In Aurora a bow window is usually the wrong answer, and explaining why beats selling one.
A bay or a bow is a little cantilevered room bolted onto an exterior wall. The head board carries the load into the wall through cables or knee braces, the seat board carries the weight of anything you put on it, and a small roof over the whole assembly has to be flashed into the siding. Every one of those is a place a leak starts.
Then there is the glass. A bow is four to six lites, and the whole point of the shape is that they are large and uninterrupted. At 5,558 feet each of those lites is under a standing pressure difference, and the flat reflections you get across a curved run of glass are precisely where a bow becomes visible to anyone standing in the yard.
Manufacturers do not treat that distortion as a defect. Marvin's supplement says bowing and curvature will naturally occur with increased altitude and are not considered defects, and Cardinal notes that a capillary-tubed unit may never fully equalize because the atmosphere never holds still. On a bow window, that means the ripple you see in the reflection is permanent and covered by nobody.
So the alternative we usually propose is a large fixed picture unit flanked by two operating casements in the same rough opening. You keep the daylight and the ventilation, you lose the seat and the roof, and you take the leak risk and the visible ripple off the table at the same time. It is also considerably less expensive, which is a fair thing to mention.
There are cases where a bay is worth it and we build those. A single-angle bay over a kitchen sink with a solid seat board and a properly flashed copper or membrane roof is a genuinely good room feature, and a garden window on a south wall is a pleasure in a climate with this much winter sun. Both are small enough that the glass stays flat.
If you already have a bow and it is failing, the trouble is hardly ever in the glass. It is a seat board rotting under a leak at the roof-to-wall junction, or the support cables having stretched so the assembly has dropped a quarter inch and the sashes no longer close. Both are repairable and both are much cheaper than a new assembly.
When we do replace one, the flashing sequence gets written into the scope: a membrane pan under the seat, step flashing lapped under the siding, and a kickout at the bottom of the roof-to-wall line. A bay window fails from the top down, and no amount of good glass at this elevation makes up for a roof that was caulked instead of flashed.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — capillary tube vented into the glazing pocket, polyisobutylene primary seal at the spacer edge, silicone secondary seal on a dual-seal unit, molecular sieve desiccant in the spacer channel, soft-coat low-emissivity layer on the third surface, insulating glass sealed at Front Range elevation — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Aurora and nearby communities including Centennial, Parker, Commerce City, Brighton.

Materials, equipment and how we do bay & bow windows
The difference between bay & bow windows that lasts and bay & bow windows that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with capillary tube vented into the glazing pocket, polyisobutylene primary seal at the spacer edge, silicone secondary seal on a dual-seal unit, molecular sieve desiccant in the spacer channel, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Aurora job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the east Denver metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Aurora Chooses Aurora CO Window Replacement
- ✓The elevation of your address goes on the glass order. This city runs from about 5,200 feet along Sand Creek to over 6,200 feet at the south line, and sealed units should be ordered knowing which.
- ✓Argon is quoted as a trade rather than an upgrade. If a unit needs a capillary tube to stay flat at this elevation, the tube vents the gas, so we take the gas off the price instead of charging for it.
- ✓We will tell you when a noise is normal. Manufacturers state that glass deflection at altitude can cause check-rail interference and audible sounds, and that is not a defect you should be paying to replace.
- ✓Glass-only replacement is offered first whenever the frame, the sash and the hardware are sound, because a fogged unit in a good window is a part, not a project, and it costs a fraction of a replacement.
