Fixed Window Aesthetics

Do you know what kind of FIXED WINDOWS your dealer is using? What are the tradeoffs in design, aesthetics, and size? Mulled, direct-set picture windows are often the cheapest and worst looking with so many joints and seams. Stepped Storefront windows look very commercial and collect dirt but can often provide the largest sizes.

I have always been partial to Front Set Storefront from an aesthetic standpoint for luxury homes. The seamless clean lines are far more elegant.

Most window dealers bid what's cheap and easy to install. Front set storefront was often field assembled and glazed where mulled picture windows were simple to just put in an opening.

Windows and doors shouldn't just be a budget only one-size-fits-all decision, they should be evaluated just as carefully as every other finished product in your luxury home as a design feature.
