Picture Perfect and Secure Windows

Picture windows can be a very cost-effective way of providing additional decorative features to a room, even though a windows primary function is simply to provide natural light and fresh air. They are also inoperable, which means they can’t be opened without being broken. This makes them one of the most secure window styles available. That aside, picture windows have a number of other benefits that make them the perfect choice for many homeowners.

Because they do not have moving parts, picture windows are also highly energy efficient, helping to reduce air leakage and improve overall insulation performance. Their larger glass area allows for expansive, unobstructed views and brings in abundant natural light, making rooms feel brighter and more open. That aside, picture windows have a number of other benefits that make them the perfect choice for many homeowners.

PICTURE WINDOWS: MAIN ADVANTAGES

MAXIMUM LIGHT

Picture windows are a popular choice for letting in natural light without the cold air that sometimes accompanies it. Since picture windows are fixed windows that do not open, they’re perfect for areas that need light but not ventilation.

INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Using insulated glass for picture windows is a great way to improve performance and increase overall home comfort. Insulated glass is a combination of two or more glass panes with a hermetically sealed air space between them. Optional inert gases like argon or krypton may be used between panes to further improve thermal performance and, as a result, energy savings.

MORE DESIGN OPTIONS

Picture windows create a portrait-like space on walls. This is how the word “picture” in their name. It is common to combine a picture window with operable windows, such as double hung or casement windows, for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Sometimes, a picture window can be used to replace two or three joined windows to create an uninterrupted view.
