With so many options and window styles on the market, it can be hard to decide which style best suits your needs, tastes, and budget. While fixed windows are not the most popular choice, they do have several advantages you might not have considered.

What are Fixed Pane Windows?

It means you cannot open them. They are non-operable. Instead, they feature an expanse of glass fixed in the frame. There are also no sashes or sections. You can choose pretty much any material for picture windows, including vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, and wood. You can also choose double or triple-glazing for energy efficiency.

Because you don’t have to worry about opening and closing, you can get picture windows in unique shapes and sizes. In fact, you have probably seen fixed transom windows above doors, or arc shaped windows above another window unit. There are so many possibilities available with fixed new windows Phoenix. Here are some of the benefits of fixed windows you can look forward to.

Energy Savings

No breaks or sashes means your window is completely sealed off. You will not have to worry about air intrusion or moisture leaks. And if you choose a highly isolative frame with low-e glazing, you can get some of the best energy savings available.

Affordable

Because these windows do not have any moving parts, they are easier for the manufactures to build. This means they usually end up costing less than other windows with more complex moving parts. And you never have to worry about searching for and replacing parts on picture windows.

Natural Light

If you enjoy daylight and want to cut down on artificial light and electricity use, large picture windows are the way to go. They will open up your space and create a warm, welcoming environment for you and your guests. For this reason, many homeowners choose to install large picture windows in their living areas and kitchens.

Expansive View

Large panes of unobstructed glass also mean unobstructed views. Do you have an amazing backyard or view of a mountain range that you want to fully enjoy and show off? Picture windows can turn those vistas into the focal point of your room. You can fill the space with natural beauty and enjoy your surroundings.

Versatility

One of the best things about picture windows is you can partner them with other window units. Do you want a large bank of picture windows along one wall? Or do you want to flank a picture window on either side with operable windows to capitalize on both the view and ventilation? You can even get custom made fixed windows for tricky spots in your home where you still want light, but standard windows simply won’t work. We have even seen them installed in the corner of a room for views out both sides. With so many possibilities, you are sure to find a fixed window to suit your needs.
