What does bay window mean?

A bay window is a window that protrudes from the outer wall and is used for lighting and beautifying the room.

1. Introduction:

Bay window, as its name implies, is a kind of floating window. Generally, bay windows can be rectangular or trapezoidal, protruding from indoor to outdoor. The bay window is equipped with glass on three sides, and the height of the windowsill is lower than that of ordinary windows.

2 area calculation

According to the documents of the Ministry of Construction, the area of houses with inclined arc non-vertical walls and 2.2 meters above the ground shall be calculated; If the house wall inclines outward beyond the outer edge of the bottom line, the building area shall be calculated by floor projection.

In other words, the bay window with steps, as long as the height does not exceed 2.2 meters, is not included in the sales area, so the owner does not need to pay for the bay window. In other words, the height from the floating windowsill to the ceiling is less than 2.2 meters, the windowsill is not included in the area, and the balcony floating outside (only one side against the wall) is half the area; The inner balcony (with three walls) is the whole area. Floor-to-ceiling windows over 2.2 meters effectively expand the actual use area of the house, so it should be included in the property area of the house, and the house price should be calculated according to the final measured area.
