Oriel bay windows are frameless windows that project from the fabric of a building, but don’t reach the ground. These stunning “floating” frameless windows provide beautiful, bright, light filled places to sit and relax. A glass oriel window creates the most alluring of spaces for a family, where light comes flooding in, and where children and adults alike can spend special time.

Oriel bay windows can be done at a vast range of sizes, and can be 2, 3 or 4 sided. Most oriels we do are 4 sided, with glass front, sides and roof meeting at frameless silicon-sealed corners. If space and the building layout allow, the roof section can project back into the house to create an even larger expanse of glass.

Renka is expert at creating these dramatic and bespoke glazed features, which add beauty and drama to a project. Speak to our team of Customer Service experts to see whether this might be an ideal solution for you.
