Picture Windows

Picture windows, or fixed frame windows, are non-operable windows. As stationary windows that do not open, it’s common to pair picture windows with operable windows.

Ideal Location

Ideal for floor-to-ceiling designs, picture windows come in many different sizes and bring in stunning amounts of light. They are commonly placed in tall spaces where the glass is out of reach. Because they do not open, picture windows also offer enhanced security and energy efficiency.

Design Style

Without grilles, picture windows feature simple, sleek frames that look like artwork on a wall. Adding grilles provides a more traditional touch, delivering timeless and charming design.
