What is a fixed window?

A fixed window, also known as a picture window, is a type of window that cannot be opened or closed. It is a stationary window that provides a clear view of the outside and allows natural light to enter the room. Fixed windows are often used in combination with operable windows to create a larger window area or to provide a non-obstructed view of the outside. Fixed windows are typically made of glass and can be customized with different materials, such as wood, vinyl, fiberglass, or aluminum. They are energy-efficient, as they do not have any moving parts that can cause air leaks or drafts. Fixed windows are commonly found in modern or minimalist style homes and can be used in any room to add natural light and increase the aesthetic appeal of the space.
