To frame a large picture window, first measure the opening. Measure from the bottom of the frame to the top of the frame. This measurement is the width of your picture frame and should be about 1 inch less than the actual size of your picture window
Add another 1/2 inch on either side for framing purposes. This will allow for trimming around the edge when you hang your picture
Next, measure from one corner of your picture to another corner of your picture and add 1/3 more than that measurement to each side. This will allow room for trimming as well as helping you find where to hang your pictures once they are hung on their own frames
Once you have these measurements in mind, find an appropriate sized frame at a local store or online (if you can find one). You can also check with other people who have this same type of window if they have any ideas on how they framed their pictures or what worked best for them.
how to frame for a large picture windowPicture 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.
