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.

Also known as: picture frame windows, fixed windows, fixed picture windows, fixed frame windows, fixed pane windows

Frequently Asked Questions

Picture windows do not operate, so they are common in areas that are out of reach. They add natural light and increase curb appeal in places where you don't need the window to ventilate, such as tall foyers and stairways. Picture windows are extremely energy efficient given that they do not open and close. Also highly efficient are windows with dual- and triple-pane glass as they improve insulating properties and help reduce thermal transfer. Garden windows are a designated place for plants to grow in the sunlight of a window. In many cases, a garden window extends outward beyond an exterior wall, creating a three-dimensional glass box for plants to live. Bay, bow and picture windows are popular choices but there are many window types that can help achieve the effect of a garden window. No, picture windows have fixed frames and do not operate.
