Picture Windows in Ottawa

A picture window is one large pane of glass in a frame that doesn’t open. With no sash, no hinges and no moving seal, it’s all view, and it’s the most energy-efficient window you can put in a wall. We make them to the size of your opening, in rectangles or shapes.

Shapes

Rectangles are most common, but a fixed frame can be built in other shapes: half-rounds and arches over a door or window, trapezoids under a sloped ceiling, circles and octagons as an accent. Tell us the shape, and we’ll measure for it.

Pair It With Something That Opens

A picture window can’t give you fresh air, so it’s often stacked or joined with an opening unit:

  • Awning below: a narrow awning under the big pane opens for air, even in light rain.
  • Transom above: a shaped or rectangular fixed pane over the main window adds height and light.
  • Vents at the ends: see the end vent slider for a one-frame option.

We’re extremely impressed with our new front door and with the overall quality of the installation. From start to finish, the experience was extremely pleasant. The team was very easy to deal with, arrived right on time, and worked quickly and efficiently without ever feeling rushed. They took great care to protect the space they were working in, leaving everything clean and tidy when they were done. They were highly professional, courteous, and genuinely pleasant to have around. The attention to detail and craftsmanship really show in the final result. We’re absolutely thrilled with the outcome and are very much looking forward to working with them again soon. Highly recommended.
