Why Sholud I Choose A Picture Window?

A picture window, in the simplest terms, defines the area of view you have of the outside world. A picture window's ability to reduce energy use comes at the expense of reduced ventilation and circulation. Plus, most picture windows include a huge glass panel that lets in a ton of natural light.

 Picture windows can be mulled together so several can be installed on a single wall. A picture window might answer your home improvement prayers if you need more natural light and a commanding view of the outdoors. They are also considered one of the best windows for oceanfront properties. These properties have the best views and take in lots of sunlight.

Aluguard has flipped the expected script for large picture (aka fixed) windows. Floor-to-ceiling windows that are spacious, functional and comfortable are now possible thanks to thermally insulating frames, excellent glazing and thermal performance. A fixed window is completely sealed, allowing airtightness and protecting the space from external temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the insulated frame ensures that less heat is lost at the window frame – which is known to be the weakest point in the building envelope for insulation. With this in mind, the premium glazing units are equipped with a Low-E coating designed to increase energy efficiency by reducing solar radiation. Double or triple glazing has argon-filled spacers, another layer of protection that keeps the glass at room temperature even on the coldest or hottest days. With these benefits, it makes sense to expand the window from a medium size to a larger size. 

Creating larger, more stunning windows can provide not only thermal comfort but also visual comfort. Letting sunlight and especially views into a room can brighten a space with natural light. When you have high-performance windows and perfectly framed views, it's easy to become more reliant on sunlight that fills your space, which can have the added benefit of reducing energy use. When used correctly, large floor-to-ceiling windows will help a space feel more comfortable, bright and efficient. 

Large windows can give your room a solid look

Whether in the kitchen or the living room, large windows can give the impression that the room is larger than it is. To take full advantage of this advantage, it's important to decorate and utilize your space accordingly.

Increase natural light

Huge windows allow you to soak in tons of gorgeous natural light from the outside. Depending on where your home is located, you'll need to consider different types of glass options to get the best option for your home's needs.

Flexible and Practical Design

There are many ways to use your large windows functionally as well as stylistically. Large windows help paint a beautiful, natural picture. With no walls to block your view, huge windows allow you to see the beauty outside the home.

Modern design

If you like modern style, floor-to-ceiling windows are perfect for your style. One of the staples of modern design is minimalism. Picture windows take up a lot of wall space. You'll often see rectangles or squares. You can also choose from shapes such as circles, triangles, hexagons, octagons, and more. You can also customize the size of the picture window, from a smaller window to the size of a French window—the possibilities are endless.

Minimal maintenance

The best home updates are those that don't require a lot of maintenance. This makes floor-to-ceiling windows the perfect addition to a living room or kitchen. With picture windows, maintenance is a breeze. Floor-to-ceiling windows are fixed, so you don't have to worry about tracks, screens, hinges, and other components. Since the windows are fixed, there is less natural wear and tear.
