What Are Picture Windows?
Many dreams of going to a large window and thoroughly enjoying the view. If looking out of a small window is dull and uninteresting, it’s time to think about installing picture windows that delight with a fantastic view. What are they, and what are their advantages? A picture window is installed across the entire width and height of the wall. They are often installed in penthouses, but today, you can see them in ordinary apartments. You can install a picture window on a balcony, on a veranda, and the facades of houses.
Low-Emissivity and Insulated Glass Units
In summer, another problem arises. Too much light penetrates through picture windows into an apartment on the southern or southwestern side, and the room becomes too hot. The issues with the lack of cool shade can be solved by one or a combination of the following solutions:
- install a powerful air conditioning system;
- tint the glass;
- order multifunctional double-glazed windows;
- hang blinds, for example, day-night blinds or good curtains on picture windows.
Energy-saving glass units have at least one low-emission glass. Low-emission glass has a high level of solar radiation transmission but also high heat transfer resistance, that is, a low ability to release heat from the room. Due to the high level of heat transfer resistance, using energy-saving glass units allows you to save on heating.

Typical Problems with Picture Windows
Despite a number of advantages, such glazing has significant disadvantages that must be considered when choosing residential real estate.
- Such a design takes up most of the wall. Because of this, you get low-quality sound insulation and feel the loss of heat since a significant part of the heat escapes through the windows.
- Difficulty washing glass. If you choose a high floor for living, then it is almost impossible to physically wash the entire area of the window on both sides. But today, this is a small problem since there are cleaning companies and special devices.
- Trials and Chips. The window and dimensions are designed to withstand many weather conditions, but periodically, they can give in. A storm wind or an accidental hit by a ball can damage the glass.
Comprehensive Repair Solutions
Nobody likes to feel a chill or hear the whistling wind rushing through their body. Looking at a little worn window could be nicer. Nevertheless, well-known methods of repairing panoramic windows can eliminate all these troubles. This will allow:
- Protect residents from issues with windows;
- Extend the service life of the window by at least 5-10 years;
- Repair even a very tired window;
- Replace a damaged or shattered picture window without replacing the frame;
- Fix internal air circulation;
- Get rid of fogging.
Advantages of Timely Repairs
Many people hesitate to install panoramic windows because they are quite challenging to maintain. If washing the glass from the outside on the first floor is still quite possible, then in a multi-story building, only industrial climbers can wash the window units from the outside, and regular payment for their services is also a serious financial expense. Otherwise, panoramic glazing also requires maintenance and preventive maintenance every 6 months to maintain the functionality of all units. And at this point, you have learned everything essential. Other benefits:
- Keeping the room warm or cool;
- Keeping the normal functioning of the window;
- Containing more costly repairs;
- Excluding the costly replacement of a panoramic window.
