Frequently Asked Questions
Can picture windows be combined with other windows?
Absolutely. They are frequently mulled (joined) with casement, awning, or hung windows to create large assemblies that offer both views and ventilation.
Are picture windows cheaper than operable windows?
Generally, yes. Because they lack moving parts, hardware, and screens, picture windows are often more cost-effective per square foot.
Can I get custom shapes?
Yes, picture windows can be manufactured in a wide variety of architectural shapes, including arches, circles, trapezoids, and triangles.
