Window styles
Picture windows.
It does not open. That is the point. The most glass, the best seal, the clearest view.
What it is
The fixed one.
Glass, frame, done.
A picture window has no sashes and no moving parts. The glass is sealed straight into the frame. Nothing to leak air, nothing to wear out, and the biggest piece of glass you can put in an opening.
Because nothing moves, it is the tightest window on the house. Pair it with operating windows on each side when you want air.
Where it fits
Where a picture window belongs.
Views and front rooms.
- The front of the living room, where the old three-part window was.
- Anywhere with a view you do not want a sash rail running through.
- Stairwells and two-story foyers where nobody would open a window anyway.
- Flanked by casements or double hungs so the room still breathes.
Straight talk
What to know before you pick it.
Honest trade-offs.
- No ventilation from that opening. Plan the air from the windows next to it.
- Not a bedroom exit window.
- Very large glass is heavier and may need tempered or laminated glass. We tell you when that applies and why.
Fair questions
Questions people ask.
Do not see yours? Call or text (601) 966-0319 and ask.
Can a picture window have grids?
Yes, between the glass, in the pattern that matches the rest of the house.
Is a picture window more efficient?
Closed to closed, yes. No sash seams means less air moves through it than any operating window with the same glass.
Can you combine a picture window with other styles in one frame?
Yes. Picture in the middle, casements or double hungs on each side, built as one unit or mulled together on site.
Which one is yours?
Tell us how many openings and where. We measure, write one number, and install.
