Picture windows for North Texas homes
A picture window is one large fixed pane, with no sashes and no tracks. It lets in the most light, frames the clearest view and seals tighter than any window that opens.

- Living rooms & backyard views

How it works
How picture windows work
The glass is set directly into the frame and doesn't open. Picture windows are often paired with operating windows on either side, such as casements or sliders, so you get the view and the breeze.
Why homeowners choose them
- The most light and an unobstructed view
- The tightest seal of any style
- Usually the lowest cost per square foot of glass
- Nothing to crank, slide or maintain
Good to know
- It doesn't open, so pair it with operating windows where you want airflow.
- Large panes take more direct sun, so Low-E glass is a must on west- and south-facing walls.
Where they fit
Where picture windows work best
- Living rooms
- Backyard and lake views
- Two-story walls
- Dining rooms
In North Texas homes
Big picture windows are common in Rowlett homes facing Lake Ray Hubbard and in two-story family rooms across Collin County. Afternoon sun hits those large panes hard, so the glass matters most here: a low-SHGC Low-E coating cuts heat without darkening the room.
What they cost
Low per square foot of glass; large sizes cost more overall.
Size, glass and installation matter as much as style. See our window replacement cost guide.

Can a picture window be energy efficient with so much glass?
Yes. With no moving parts it seals better than any operating window. Choose Low-E glass with a low SHGC so the sun's heat stays outside; our energy guide explains the numbers.
Can you replace a large two-story picture window?
Yes. Our crews safely handle large and high windows, including two-story picture windows and the specialty shapes often found above them.
