What Are Picture Windows?
Picture windows are large, stationary windows that are designed to offer expansive views of the outdoors. Typically, unlike the operable windows, they cannot be opened or closed. Picture windows are known for their generous glass area, allowing ample natural light to flood into the room and providing unobstructed views of the surrounding scenery. These windows are often used as a focal point in a room, creating a stunning visual impact and enhancing the aesthetics of the space. Picture windows are an excellent choice for homeowners who want to maximize views and natural light in their living areas.
