Bay & bow windows in Wichita Falls, Texas
Multi-unit assemblies that project outward — bay (3 units, angled) or bow (4–6 units, curved). For Wichita Falls's older housing stock (63.7% of homes predate 1980), bay & bow window replacement is a common project — and in the ENERGY STAR South-Central zone, the number that matters most is a low SHGC (≤ 0.23) to block solar heat.
Short answer
Bay & bow windows in Wichita Falls typically cost $2,505–$8,015+ installed per opening. The low end is a mid-grade vinyl insert from a regional installer; the top is a premium frame, a full-frame installation, or a full-service national brand.

Is a Bay & bow window right for a Wichita Falls home?
Fixed center with operable flankers (bay) or a curved run of units (bow).
Where it fits:
- Adding interior space, light, and a seat or shelf
- Street-facing façade upgrades
What to weigh:
- A structural project, not a swap — support, roofing, and insulation of the projection drive cost
- Highest cost band of common window projects
Bay & bow windows and Wichita Falls's climate
Wichita Falls sits in the ENERGY STAR South-Central zone (IECC zone 3A (warm, moist), Wichita County), where the priority is a low SHGC (≤ 0.23) to block solar heat.
Because a bay or bow projects beyond the wall, its roof and floor are a thermal weak point — insulating that projection well matters as much as the glass for South-Central-zone comfort.

Rebates & incentives in Texas
The federal window tax credit (25C) ended for projects placed in service after December 31, 2025. If your windows were installed in 2025, you can still claim it on your 2025 return — but for new projects there is no federal window credit. State and utility programs are now the main source of window incentives.
Texas accepted IRA rebate funding but program rollout has lagged; check the State Energy Conservation Office for current status before counting on it. See our Wichita Falls guide for the full program list.
