In this post, we share how you can create attractive and functional combination windows with picture windows.Why Use Picture Windows?Picture windows have simple and sleek aesthetics that make it easy to pair with other window styles. It’s also a ‘non-functional’ window since you can’t slide or swing them open; it’s a static piece of hardware with a more visual function. As such, combining it with other window styles gives it functionality beyond aesthetics.Casement %20 Picture WindowsThis is the most common combination in many contemporary homes. You can either fit a pair of casement windows on each side of a single picture window or two picture windows for one casement window. The result is a wider window that provides ample ventilation on top of daylighting and view framing.Double-Hung %20 Picture WindowsSimilar to casement window replacement, the double-hung window design can benefit from picture windows as it increases both of its interior and exterior appeals. They also have very similar designs, with the main difference being that double-hung windows can be slid open while picture windows are static. The main draw is a wider and more unobstructed view of the outdoors, while still letting ample ventilation.Bow And Picture WindowsPairing picture windows with a bow window can increase the amount of daylighting you get from a room. This combination is also used if you need to extend the viewing space of your initial window or what it frames from the outside. These are just some of the combinations you can make with picture windows.
