Picture Windows

The largest and most versatile style is the picture window. It can span the largest of your window openings, mulled into exciting window walls, or bent into eye-catching shapes. A picture window lets light into a room and provides an unobstructed view of nature, while protecting the home from the climate outside.

Available in a variety of colors and options, the Quantum2 windows enhance not only the beauty, but the value of your home.

 


Mulled in combination with casement or double-hung windows, picture windows provide all of the insulating power of their operating counterparts by using 7/8″ insulated glass and foam-filled frames. Bringing the outdoors in and allowing natural light to bathe a home’s interior is the job of the picture window.

 
Where accessibility is limited, such as two-story entrances or cathedral ceiling peaks, the picture window becomes a decorative feature that adds beauty and warmth to a room. Use it anywhere that ventilation and egress is not an issue.

 
Bent into architectural shapes, the picture window takes on new meaning in entryways and living areas. Large arch-top windows, quarter rounds, and eyebrows surround doorways to provide a warm invitation to any visitor or family member. Avoid using picture windows in small rooms or in living areas where ventilation is limited.

Also, always check with local building codes on the safety egress requirements for your area. Picture windows are a great feature to add light and space to a room but, because they don’t operate, they are not ideal for every situation.
