WHAT ARE PICTURE WINDOWS?

A picture window, also known as picture frame, fixed, fixed picture, fixed frame and fixed pane windows, is stationary, meaning it does not open or close. Its purpose is to give a clear view of a focal point or the outdoors, but it will not increase airflow. It can often be used in combination with other windows, for example, double-hung or casement windows, where it is used as the central window with these windows on either side. This gives a clear view while adding the functionality of the complementary windows.

WHY CHOOSE PICTURE WINDOWS?

Whether your backyard garden could be considered a botanical garden like Olbrich, Green Bay and Boerner’s, or Appleton’s Butterfly Garden or the Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan,  if it needs to be framed, or you need more sunlight added to your interior, the picture window is your choice. This window offers a beautiful, unobstructed portrait. Or it can accent a piece of your home that deserves attention.

ENHANCED SECURITY

POPULAR IN FLOOR-TO-CEILING

MORE NATURAL LIGHT

Picture windows are also popular for floor-to-ceiling installations or glass walls, and they are common in hard-to-reach spots where opening and closing a window would not be practical.

Because these windows do not include grids or bars, they give a view of what is on the other side without any distraction, much like a framed photograph. For a more traditional look, add grilles for a charming design touch.

“Jake came out and gave us a consultation, explained the different options we had for windows. Our home has been around since the late 1800s and we definitely needed new windows! The crew showed up on time, and killed it! They were very professional, courteous of our home, clean and just did a great job! We went for a modern black fiberglass window with a big grid… and I am in LOVE!”

“Fantastic experience working with Pella, we’re so happy with how our windows turned out! I worked with Matt from the start and it was an easy process (not the cheesy strung-out sales pitches like most companies) with good communication. We got all new good work and changed some window designs, which was a big project for the size of our windows. The crew who installed them did an impeccable job and were very fast.”

“Tim did a fantastic job. He was very  honest and knowledgeable and asked what we wanted and what our goals were for the windows and the house. No upselling and he was not pushy at all. I  felt like we got a great quality product at a great price. I also feel really good about their install process which a lot of other companies do not talk about. We definitely will be calling Tim when we need more windows at this house or the next.”
