If you think about doing some renovation, installing Picture (fixed) windows in your home can be a good idea. Does this particular style of windows fit your home? Let’s consider the main pros and cons of Picture (fixed) windows. 

Advantages of Picture (fixed) windows: 

• Picture windows are tightly sealed around all edges and cannot be opened. The biggest advantage of this feature is that fixed windows don’t let sit or water leak in or out of your home, which should improve your home’s energy efficiency. 
• Thanks to the structure of picture (fixed) windows, you can let more light inside your home and limit the number of artificial light your family consumes during the day. 
• Due to the simple structure of such windows, they are easy to clean and maintain. 
• The cost is the last but not the least important benefit. Because there are no moving components present in the structure of Picture (fixed) windows, their production costs less than making casement windows. 

Disadvantages of Picture (fixed) windows: 

• One of the major drawbacks of such windows is the lack of ventilation. Installing a picture window would not be the best idea if you live in a warm climate and need to ventilate your home from time to time. 
• You can also face some difficulty while cleaning picture windows from outside, especially if they are installed on the upper floors. 
• Because picture windows can let a lot of light inside your home, you might need to use an air conditioner to cool the air inside your home since the temperature can grow high.
