Open Up the View from the Inside Out with Picture Home Windows
Posted: Oct 29, 2012

Picture windows are typically installed in living rooms to allow natural light in while highlighting a view outdoors. During the 19th century, advancements in the manufacturing of flat-glass resulted in reduced costs, enabling manufacturers to increase the size of home windows and provide consumers with more choices.
During this era, single-family small homes characterized middle-class life. Picture windows offered a sense of spaciousness, which contrasted directly with a home’s actual dimensions.
A picture window is fixed, large and usually single-paned. It gives an unimpeded outdoor view – as if framed in a picture.
Before installing this type of home windows, consider personal aesthetics, price, weather conditions and surrounding architecture.
To improve a picture window’s energy efficiency, high solar glazing is a recommended option in cold climates, while low solar glazing performs well in warmer climates. You can also get some picture home windows that do not open. These not only increase energy efficiency, but they are healthier for people with allergies because they reduce the amount of airborne contaminants entering homes.
Window Treatments
Choosing treatments for picture home windows can be a bit of a challenge. Even though the purpose of them is to allow maximum light into a home, there are times when privacy is needed. For a very large picture window, the most practical choice would be vertical blinds mounted outside the window frame which can be drawn back onto the wall. To help complete the look, you could add an attractive valance in a color that matches your home décor.
