Fixed Frame Windows
A fixed frame hardwood window, known commonly as a picture window, is a non-operable window that creates the appearance of a picture frame on the wall.
They are commonly installed as a single window or used in combinations with more functional window types creating a spectacular window wall. These hardwood windows are always custom built to your precise specifications to help bring your vision to life. Create a unique appearance from the interior and exterior with large and flat glass surfaces.

Glazing Configurations
All types and configurations are available to use in Duratherm windows and doors. From single monolithic to triple glazing, laminated, curved-in-place, electrochromatic switchable – virtually any type or configuration commercially available – and perhaps even some that are not.
Glazing Methods
Dry Glazing
Specially developed extruded silicone gasket sets the glass by compression. Our proprietary system is long-lived, has low maintenance, and stays water resistant.
Wet Glazing
Our special silicone wet glazing compound bonds to the glass for long-lived sealing. Plus our continuous extruded silicone weatherstrip runs around the frame perimeter, and the seal is not compromised by seasonal expansion and contractions of the sash and frame.
