HEALTH SMART WINDOWS

Metal is an excellent conductor, making it problematic when used as a spacer between window panes, especially during the winter. While traditional windows use metal spacers, NorthShield’s Super Spacer Health Smart Windows use a unique foam spacer, an excellent insulator, to reduce condensation and prevent the formation of harmful mold in your home.

PICTURE WINDOWS VS FIXED CASEMENT WINDOWS

What Are Picture Windows?

While both picture windows and fixed casement windows are non-operational, there are key differences between the two. Picture windows are typically set directly into the frame, offering a slim, low-profile window style.

In contrast, fixed casement windows generally have thicker, more prominent frames. This bolder frame design can be necessary when matching the sitelites of operational windows or when uniformity is desired, such as incorporating similar grille patterns across various window styles.

PICTURE WINDOWS REPLACEMENT

INSTALLATION CHOICES FOR PICTURE WINDOWS

Full-Frame Vs Retrofitting

Full-Frame Replacement

Scheduling a full-frame picture window replacement is a more extensive process. It involves removing the entire frame and existing window, allowing our installers to inspect the area for rot or mould issues.

Retrofit Installation

In contrast, a retrofit window replacement involves only replacing the glass and is a lot less invasive. This affordable method is perfect for homeowners who only need to replace the window glass and want to maintain the same window style. It is important that your existing frame is in good condition before deciding on a retrofit replacement.

FAQ

WE HAVE THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

What are picture windows?

Picture windows are fixed windows that feature a low profile frame that maximizes the glass surface, which allows for an unobstructed view. These windows can be matched with other operational windows.

Where to install picture windows?

Although picture windows can sometimes be installed to stand on their own, they make for a much better view when combined with other custom-made windows. Paired with other widows, picture windows make for a better configuration that can be installed in a wide range of areas, including the living room, and dining room.

Can you open a picture window?

Picture windows are fixed, which means they cannot be opened, hence why they are often paired with other window types.

What’s the difference between a picture window and a fixed window?

The difference between the two lies in the frame size. Fixed windows have larger frames, which allows them to match the sitelines of adjacent operating windows. Both picture windows and fixed windows allow for a modern, contemporary look.

How big can picture window be?

Picture windows come in a wide variety of sizes, and they can be even bigger combined with other windows. Nevertheless, a stock picture window can come as large as 72 inches in height and width.
