Bay Windows in Singapore
Bay windows have become a defining feature of many Singapore homes, offering both architectural character and functional space. Whether you use it as a cozy reading nook, a display ledge, or an extended seating area, a bay window enhances your interior aesthetics while improving ventilation and natural lighting.
We specialize in custom bay window installations, replacements, and finishes for Singapore homeowners who want a blend of comfort, durability, and style – all compliant with local building standards and condominium by-laws.
What is a Bay Window?
A bay window is a protruding window structure that extends outward from the main wall of a building, forming a small alcove inside. Typically framed in aluminium or uPVC, and fitted with tempered glass, it allows more daylight and panoramic views while creating additional ledge space.
Associated with Victorian architecture on the 1870s Bay Windows bring spaciousness to the room and also give additional view from different angles. The larger room effect comes about due to the outward protrusion of the windows from the main walls. This also brings in additional natural light to the indoors.
In Singapore’s context, condominiums may include bay windows as part of the developer’s original layout. Landed homeowners often install bay windows to enhance curb appeal or increase usable interior space.

Why Bay Windows Are Used in Singapore Homes
Modern Singapore homeowners appreciate bay windows for more than just their looks. Here are the key benefits:
- Maximized natural light – The extended design lets in more daylight, brightening rooms and reducing electricity costs
- Added seating or storage space – Perfect for a built-in reading nook, display shelf, or concealed cabinetry
- Enhanced property value – A well-designed bay window area adds a premium feel that appeals to future buyers
- Improved airflow and view – Ideal for rooms overlooking gardens, pools, or cityscapes
- Versatile design options – Bay windows can be styled to suit modern, minimalist, or resort-inspired interiors.
The image above showcases a modern bay window setup with sleek black aluminium frames and a wooden ledge seat – a common feature in new Singapore condominiums. The setup creates a quiet corner ideal for reading or relaxing, with a view of surrounding high-rise greenery. This design pairs well with minimalist interiors and neutral tones.

Common Bay Window Designs in Singapore
1. Full-Height Bay Windows
These extend from floor to ceiling, providing sweeping outdoor views — often seen in high-floor condominiums with scenic surroundings.
Best for: Living rooms, master bedrooms, and study areas.
2. Half-Height Bay Windows
Installed with a ledge, this design doubles as a seat, display ledge, or reading corner.
Best for: Bedrooms and living spaces where you want added function without major structural work.
3. Corner or Multi-Panel Bay Windows
Used in landed homes and penthouses, corner designs offer an elegant panoramic effect with glass panels on two or three sides.
Best for: Dining areas or lounges with external facades.
Bay Window Materials & Finishes
We work with premium aluminium frames powder-coated for weather resistance and 5mm–8mm tempered glass panels for safety and noise reduction. Homeowners may choose between:
- Clear glass – for unobstructed views.
- Tinted or green glass – for glare and heat control.
- Frosted or patterned glass – for privacy while maintaining brightness.
The surrounding ledge can be customized in:
- Laminate wood panels for a warm, homely aesthetic.
- Quartz or marble tops for a luxurious, durable finish.
- Vinyl wraps for easy maintenance and moisture resistance.
Renovation & Customization Ideas
If your condo came with a fixed marble ledge, we can help redesign and repurpose it safely within the MCST or URA guidelines.
Popular upgrades include:
- Installing custom seat cushions or backrests for a reading nook.
- Building lift-up storage compartments beneath the ledge.
- Adding curtains, blinds, or invisible grilles for enhanced privacy and safety.
- Refurbishing old sealant, hinges, and frame coating to restore a clean, modern look.
We handle all work with careful attention to waterproofing and structural safety.
