Fixed Picture Window

A picture window gets its name because it is designed to provide a clear view of your surroundings, acting as a picture frame for the scenery outside. Fixed Picture Windows are non-operating units and provide no ventilation.

This window can be designed as a stand-alone unit, a center piece in combination with other windows, or as an accent window adjacent to another window (sometimes referred to as a transom). Larger windows are sometimes designed for optimum views, and, if the glass is affixed directly to the frame, it is referred to a "direct set" picture window.
