Fixed-glass picture windows
More glass, less frame, and your best view.
Picture windows stay closed, so the unit is nearly all glass in a fixed frame and gives you the widest sightline and more daylight than any other style. Plenty of homeowners add casements or hung windows at each side so some air still moves.
Daylight, no sash
Without a sash that moves or a meeting rail, nothing interrupts the glass between your room and the yard.
Cuts heat and glare
On big sunny panes, insulated triple-pane or dual-pane glass holds down glare and solar heat gain.
ENERGY STAR, every zone
It earns ENERGY STAR status in every one of the four climate zones, framed by a multi-chamber mainframe.
6-lite and 9-lite grids
Choose Colonial, Diamond or 6-lite and 9-lite perimeter grids, or go without grids for a clear view.
