A picture window is a certain kind of window often found in the innermost parts of houses, apartments or commercial buildings. The term "picture window" derives from the fact that the glass in these windows does not extend all the way to the bottom edge of the wall, and instead has a section that extends downward into a groove
Most picture windows are made with two panes of glass: one pane on top and one pane on bottom. The top pane is usually larger than the bottom pane, because it has a different shape than its counterpart and is designed to fit into a specific frame around it
The first pane of glass will be called the "top" pane, while the second pane will be called either the "bottom" or "second". This is because most picture windows have three panes total — two top panes, and one bottom or second pane. The middle pane is typically smaller in size than these other two panes; it's usually just big enough to fit into an opening between them without hitting any part of them (such as bumpers).
what is a picture window definitionPicture windows are large fixed windows that create the effect of framing outdoor scenery like a picture frame. Because picture windows do not operate, they’re often paired with windows that do. Picture windows can be assembled with or without a sash. Windows without a sash, also called direct glaze windows, can provide larger unobstructed views.
