Picture Windows
Large picture windows are an effective way to highlight breathtaking scenery while welcoming in plenty of natural light, known as fixed windows.

Picture windows offer a low-cost and durable solution with no moving parts that’s easy to maintain and clean, making them the ideal choice for homeowners who want to add beauty without spending much on home enhancement.
But just because picture windows are an economical choice doesn’t mean they come without challenges of their own. Without proper protection, large picture windows may experience high energy loss during hotter periods due to insufficient barriers preventing cold air from entering and hot air from leaving, creating instability with thermal circulation and thermal circulation issues.
If the window lacks adequate sun-heat protection, the interior of your house may overheat due to solar rays penetrating it and heating the room; this causes high glare that may be difficult to manage after sundown.
To avoid these problems, window coverings that filter out unwanted light and heat are highly recommended. We offer various options that can be combined with picture windows for optimal performance; such as our Luminette(r) Privacy Sheers that combine front sheer fabric with rear roller shade to offer both filtration and privacy, and Silhouette(r) shadings which use sheer fabric facing with opaque vertical vanes to produce a room-darkening effect.
Bay & Bow Windows
Homeowners looking to add an eye-catching architectural feature can opt for bay windows as an elegant architectural choice for their homes. Offering more natural light and depth than standard windows, bay windows create more light in a room, making it feel larger. Their cozy reading nook is also great for reading cozy books in or displaying artwork or plants – ideal for cozy reading corners! Bay windows can be found both contemporary and transitional home styles but are also found frequently among classic cottages or Victorian Victorian properties.
As with casement windows, bay and bow windows can both be opened to let in fresh air; however bow windows offer greater ventilation as they consist of four or more windows meeting in an elegant curve instead of at an angle as with bay windows; these types of windows are often referred to as “curved arches” or “bowed bow windows.”
Pella offers bay and bow windows in three materials to meet any design style: wood bay windows offer both traditional and modern homes the flexibility of design options; fiberglass and vinyl offer low maintenance requirements with outstanding energy efficiency.
Bay and bow windows make an attractive addition to bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens alike. Not only can they add architectural style while providing ample natural lighting; their curved shapes also create the ideal reading nook or seating space – not to mention they can be customized further with draperies or window treatments that create a custom look!
A bay window typically consists of two operable operable windows joined together at an angled position by a fixed, inoperable window in between. These angled windows may be single- or double-hung windows and may even include casement or awning windows for increased ventilation options.
Security
Windows play a pivotal role when it comes to protecting the security of your bedroom, letting in natural light while providing stunning views of outdoor spaces and aiding airflow. But for complete peace of mind against intruders, having windows with appropriate styles and hardware as well as coverings is crucial – be it shutters or blinds.
One of the most popular window styles for bedrooms are double hung windows. These vertically opening windows make air circulation easy to manage, as well as being made out of low maintenance material like vinyl that makes for durable yet low upkeep windows – ideal for bedrooms that face busy traffic areas.
Other popular window choices for bedrooms include bay and bow windows, which are usually found in living rooms or family rooms but can add character and create a cozy seating nook in a bedroom. Bay/bow windows typically consist of picture, double hung, and casement windows combined, offering great sightlines as well as airflow control features from double hung or casement windows – giving you the best of both worlds!
Create an eye-catching bedroom design by adding architectural windows into the mix. Architectural windows are long rectangular or semi-circle windows positioned atop other types of window types that add natural lighting, play with shadows and lighting effects and even allow for some creative shadow play! Unfortunately these architectural windows don’t open, meaning airflow cannot be controlled easily.
Winkler homes with Bedroom windows can take steps to add extra protection by using various window locks, grilles or tinting the glass – these measures may make it harder for intruders to break in through broken glass and gain entry. You could even set off an alarm whenever someone opens them – and finally apply window film for increased shatterproofness.
