Picture Window Glass Repair
Picture windows are large, fixed panes of glass that do not open. They are designed to frame exterior views and flood rooms with natural light. Picture windows are common in living rooms, great rooms, and any space where the homeowner wants to maximize daylight and views. Because they do not open, picture windows offer excellent energy efficiency with no air leakage around moving parts. They are found in homes of every style throughout the DMV metropolitan area.
How It Works
Picture Window Operation
Picture windows consist of a single fixed glass pane set into a stationary frame. There are no operable sashes, hinges, cranks, or balances. The glass is held in place by glass stops, glazing tape, or structural silicone sealant depending on the window system. Because there are no moving parts, picture windows have the fewest failure points and require the least maintenance of any window type.
