Picture (Fixed) Window

fixed window1Picture windows have been designed with versatility and performance in mind. They are the perfect choice to replace old picture windows, or to fill a new opening with a broad expanse of glass for an uninterupted view. Picture windows can be combined with all other windows to create unlimited combinations to fit any architectural requirement or design criteria.

Picture windows are also available in many geometric shapes and curved designs. Shape and bending production is done “in-house” so that quality and integrity can be controlled at all times.

Picture windows are available in three distinct profiles. The High Profile (HP) Picture window matches casement and awning windows to maintain a continuous look from the exterior and interior of combination and single windows. The Low Profile (LP) Picture window has the same basic look as the High Profile but is shorter in height to give you more glass area and less window profile and a dedicated Picture window that matches all Slider windows as well as Double Hung and Single Hung windows in the system. This ensures a continuous, smooth transition from operating to fixed windows.

All windows are glazed with high performance Low-E glass and Premium “S” Class White SuperSpacer to ensure you stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Benefits of Vinyl Windows


Vinyl windows are a popular choice for many homeowners in Ottawa, and for good reason. They offer a host of advantages that can significantly enhance your home's comfort, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. Here are some of the top benefits of choosing vinyl windows from Valley Siding & Windows:

Energy Efficiency

Vinyl windows are renowned for their superior insulation properties. Their design reduces heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs, making them an energy-efficient choice for your Ottawa home.

Low Maintenance

Unlike wooden windows, vinyl windows require minimal maintenance. They don't need to be painted or stained, and they resist fading, cracking, and warping. Simply clean them periodically with a mild soap solution, and they will continue to look great for years to come.

Affordability

Vinyl windows are often more affordable than other window types, making them a popular choice for homeowners on a budget. Despite their lower cost, they don't compromise on quality, offering excellent durability and performance.

Durability

Vinyl windows are built to last. Their sturdy construction withstands the rigors of the Ottawa climate, from harsh winters to hot summers. With proper care, they can last for decades, providing excellent value for your investment.

Noise Reduction

Vinyl windows also excel in noise reduction, thanks to their insulation properties. If you live in a noisy neighborhood or near a busy street, these windows can help to significantly reduce outside noise, creating a more peaceful and comfortable living environment.

Versatility

One of the main advantages of vinyl windows is their versatility. They come in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors, making it easy to find a design that matches your home's architecture and décor.
