Popular uses for fixed impact windows
A versatile impact window
Fixed impact windows, also known as picture windows, are a versatile impact window option that is seen in virtually every home. By definition, fixed windows do not move. They can be used alone or in conjunction with a moving window, making fixed windows an ideal solution for homeowners with atypical window openings. Additionally, fixed windows are less expensive than moving windows, are energy efficient, and require minimal maintenance.
Unobstructed Views
For Florida homeowners who would like an unobstructed view, fixed impact windows are the way to go. Depending on the manufacturer, fixed impact windows can be made as large as 32 square feet, while still protecting against high-speed wind and flying debris!
Small Openings
Alternatively, fixed impact windows can be manufactured much smaller than windows that open. Homes with multiple small openings often will use fixed impact windows to let in light.
High or Tall Windows
When windows are too high to reach or opening them can post safety hazards, fixed impact windows are the choice solution to allow natural light. Additionally, fixed impact windows can be used in combination with moving windows to create unusual designs or fill long openings.
