A picture window is a fixed, non-operable window designed to provide wide, unobstructed views while allowing maximum natural light into your home.

Why Choose Picture Windows?
Maximized Natural Light
Picture windows allow sunlight to enter your home without visual obstructions from moving parts or divided panels.
Energy-Efficient Performance
Since picture windows are fixed and fully sealed, they offer excellent insulation and help minimize heat loss during colder Ontario winters.
Clean, Modern Appearance
Their simple design complements both contemporary and traditional home styles.
High Profile vs Low Profile Frame Options
Picture windows are available in both high-profile and low-profile frame designs to suit different architectural preferences.
High-Profile Frames
Provide a more defined and traditional appearance, often used to match existing window styles or enhance exterior detailing. When picture windows are combined with operable units such as casement or awning windows within the same opening, a high-profile frame is typically selected to ensure visual alignment and proper structural compatibility.
Low-Profile Frames
Offer a slimmer, more modern look that allows for a larger glass surface area and improved sightlines. When paired with sliding or hung windows, a low-profile frame may be used to maintain consistent frame depth and overall appearance across the combined window configuration.
Selecting the appropriate frame profile allows homeowners to balance aesthetics, functionality, and compatibility when integrating picture windows with other window styles.
Customization Options
Picture windows can be customized with:
-
Frame colours and finishes
-
Clear, decorative, or privacy glass
-
Double or triple-pane glass
-
Grill patterns
