A bay window begins at the foundation (or in some instances the floor system) and forms the offset the "sticks out from the house" and extends to the ceilings. Normal windows are actually installed in a bay window.

A bow window is made so that just the window sticks out from the house and the floors and wall above and below the window remain straight.
