FAQs
What is a picture window?
Picture windows are typically large inoperable windows made up of a single pane of glass within a fixed frame. They are designed to let in lots of light and provide a clear and unobstructed view of the outdoors.
Are picture windows more expensive?
Opting for a non-operable picture window can actually be more affordable than other common window styles, including double-hung and casement windows, due to the lack of movable parts. However, the cost of picture windows will vary depending on their size.
Are picture windows still popular?
Absolutely. Picture windows offer a beautiful unobstructed view and can be a dramatic focal point of a room making them a well-loved style of window in both modern and contemporary home designs.
