A picture storm window is a fixed storm unit that does not slide or hinge. It is commonly used over fixed windows, picture windows, decorative openings, or areas where the owner wants added protection without needing operation.
Why choose picture storm windows?
Fixed storm windows are often the cleanest and simplest option. With fewer moving parts, they can be a practical choice for protection, visibility, and weather resistance. They are also useful on buildings where certain windows are not intended to open.
Common applications
Picture storm windows are used on historic homes, churches, schools, municipal buildings, apartments, commercial properties, and residential projects with large fixed openings.
Measuring considerations
Because these units are fixed, the most important details are width, height, installation method, color, glass requirements, and the condition of the existing frame or trim. Blindstop and overlap mounting can both apply depending on the project.
