When to Choose Picture Windows

Picture windows are fixed windows that do not open, offering a seamless connection to nature without the distraction of frames or sashes. They’re ideal for homeowners looking for replacement picture windows and contractors in search of windows.

With large picture windows, your home will bask in abundant natural light, minimizing the need for artificial lighting and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Many homeowners choose them for living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, and office spaces.

Picture windows are also a popular choice when you want floor-to-ceiling windows, such as on an enclosed patio. Or, place them at the back of your home in bedrooms and offices so you can keep an eye on the kids as they play.

Picture windows not only elevate your home’s visual appeal but also its energy efficiency. Because they’re sealed, they can help maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reducing energy costs and promoting a more comfortable living environment.

FAQs About Picture Windows

What are picture windows?

Picture windows are fixed windows designed to offer expansive, unobstructed views of the outdoors, making them perfect for showcasing landscapes or cityscapes. They’re characterized by their large glass panes and minimal frames, which enhance their aesthetic appeal and provide natural light.

What are picture windows with side casements called?

Picture windows with side casements are often termed combination windows. This type of picture window with side windows marries the expansive view of a picture window with the functionality of casement windows, allowing for ventilation. The side casements can be opened to let in fresh air, making this combination both practical and visually appealing, offering the perfect solution when you want picture windows that open.

What are the standard sizes of picture windows?

Picture window sizes can range from small, square windows to large, panoramic windows that are either taller than they are wide or vice versa. Both width and height can vary from 2 feet to more than 8 feet. Picture window sizes are very customizable due to their fixed frame, ensuring there's a window to fit nearly any space.

What are the best curtains for picture windows?

The best curtains for picture windows are those that offer control over light and privacy without obstructing the view. Motorized roller shades are a popular choice because they can be easily adjusted to let in the desired amount of light and are sleek enough to be nearly invisible when fully raised. Cellular shades are another great option, offering insulation to enhance energy efficiency while still allowing light to filter through.

How much do picture windows cost?

The cost of picture windows can vary widely depending on factors like size, material, glass type, and whether the window is custom-made. Standard-size windows made of affordable materials will cost a few hundred dollars. The price of large picture windows can rise to several thousand dollars, especially if you add customizations. However, investing in quality picture windows can enhance the value of your home and provide savings on energy bills, making them a worthwhile investment.
