- Picture windows are the optimal choice for anyone with a fantastic view they want to maximize or who wants to welcome in lots of natural light.
- Don’t have amazing views? A picture window may still be a great choice for those wanting to open up their space and enjoy the health benefits that natural light brings.
- Picture windows are a popular choice for those looking to create floor-to-ceiling window walls.
- Picture windows can be easily paired up with other window types, allowing for custom designs. For example, it is common to place a larger picture window in the middle of two casement windows, allowing for ventilation AND unobstructed views.Â
Are Picture Windows Energy-Efficient?
Picture windows do not open, which means tighter seals and fewer gaps for air to escape or enter. Picture windows are great for energy efficiency when well sealed and paired with energy-efficient glass.
Are Picture Windows Secure?
While picture windows offer unhindered views, the large glass panes may increase the risk of breakage with thinner or single-pane glass. At A Pro Windows and Doors, we’ll work with you to find picture windows that fit your budget AND offer solid security.
Picture Window Maintenance
Picture windows are relatively low-maintenance. Since they do not open, there are fewer parts and nooks and crannies for dirt to sneak in, which makes cleaning easier than other windows. But it’s important to note one drawback. Picture windows can be difficult to clean on the outside when they are located on a second or third story or in hard-to-reach places.
