What is Picture Window?
A picture window is a type of large, fixed window that is designed to provide an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape or scenery. Picture windows are typically made from a single pane of glass that is set into a frame and installed in a location where it is not intended to be opened.
Picture windows are often used in living rooms, dining rooms, and other areas of a home where people gather to enjoy the view. They are also commonly used in commercial buildings such as offices and hotels to provide a stunning view of the surrounding city or landscape.
One of the defining characteristics of a picture window is its size. Picture windows are typically much larger than other types of windows, and they may take up an entire wall or even multiple walls of a room. This allows for an expansive, panoramic view that can be enjoyed from a seated position or while standing.
While picture windows are often fixed and cannot be opened, some manufacturers offer picture windows that can be combined with operable windows such as sliders or casements to provide both a view and ventilation.
