Picture Window Replacement

PICTURE WINDOW REPLACEMENT IN RICHMOND, VA

A picture window is a stationary window that is usually large and offers ample natural light into a home. Picture windows are typically placed strategically to frame the outdoors, and they come in custom sizes and designs to fit your needs and wants.

What are the key benefits of picture windows?

While they won't open, picture windows have many benefits, including making a room look bigger. They can be used to illuminate areas like an attic, garage or stairway where a window that opens isn’t necessary. Or, picture windows can accent a larger spread of casement or double hung windows to add more height in a larger space. Plus, they let in plenty of natural light and an unobstructed view. They're also ranked well for energy efficiency since they can't open or close, preventing the opportunity for air infiltration.

What home style is best suited for picture windows?

Due to their versatility, picture windows are suited for all homes, though if you rely on your windows for air ventilation, they may not be the right choice for you. Alternatively, you can pair a picture window with casement or double hung windows, to enjoy the views while getting the ventilation your home needs.
