Fixed Picture Storm Windows
Custom sizes, considered details, and an extra layer of comfort for your existing windows.
FAQs
What Exactly Is a Fixed Picture Storm Window?+
It is a stationary aluminum-framed glass panel that fastens over a sealed or non-operable window, adding an insulating air gap without altering the original window.
How Much Can a Picture Storm Panel Reduce Heat Loss?+
By trapping a dead-air space between itself and the primary glass, a fixed panel significantly limits conductive and convective heat transfer through large glass areas.
My Picture Window Does Not Open, Can I Still Add a Storm Panel?+
That is exactly what this product is designed for. Fixed storm windows are purpose-built for non-operable openings of virtually any size.
Will the Panel Obstruct My View?+
No. The 3/32-inch glass provides excellent optical clarity, and the narrow aluminum frame maximizes the visible glass area.
What Maintenance Do Fixed Picture Storm Windows Need?+
Very little, wipe the glass with a standard glass cleaner each season and inspect the perimeter seal and mounting screws once a year.
Our fixed picture storm windows are stationary aluminum panels that mount over windows you never open, picture windows, transoms, sidelights, and decorative glass. Because there are no moving parts, the frame is streamlined and the seal is continuous, which means peak thermal performance and sound dampening at the lowest price in our catalog. Every panel is glazed with 3/32-inch glass and fabricated to your exact opening dimensions.
Ideal Applications
Large Picture Windows
Fixed picture storm windows add insulation and weather protection over large non-opening glass without interrupting the view or adding unnecessary moving parts.
Transoms & Sidelights
Custom fixed panels are a clean solution for narrow glass beside doors, high transoms, and architectural openings where ventilation is not needed.
Sunrooms & Porch Glass
Preserve bright, open rooms while improving comfort through colder months, especially in porches, garden rooms, and sunrooms with broad fixed panes.
Statement Glass
For oversized fixed windows, a made-to-measure aluminum storm panel gives the opening a finished exterior profile while adding a practical protective layer.
Historic Fixed Openings
Protect original fixed glass and unusual trim details without replacing period materials, making fixed storm panels useful for preservation-minded projects.
Budget-Friendly Efficiency Upgrades
Because there are no operating tracks, fixed picture storm windows are often the simplest way to improve comfort and reduce drafts on non-opening windows.

How much do custom storm windows cost?
Starting prices appear on each product card. Your final product price depends on dimensions, glass, finish, and configuration. Select a window to price your options; oversized or specialty requests may need a quote. Shipping, tax, and installation are separate.
Should I choose interior or exterior storm windows?
Interior storm windows mount inside the home and can preserve the exterior appearance. Exterior storm windows add a layer outside the primary window, with fixed and ventilating configurations available. Compare mounting space, access, operation, and the condition of your existing windows before choosing.
How do I measure older windows for storm windows?
Measure each opening separately at the intended mounting position. Record widths and heights at multiple points, along with mounting depth and any hardware or obstructions. Older openings may be out of square, so keep the individual measurements and follow the guide for your chosen window. Have irregular openings reviewed before ordering.
Which storm window type fits a double-hung window?
Vertical two-track and triple-track storm windows are designed for openings that move up and down. Compare the number of glass and screen channels based on how much ventilation flexibility you want.
When should I choose a horizontal storm window?
Choose a horizontal slider for an opening that is wider than it is tall or where the primary sash moves side to side. Confirm the operating direction before ordering.
What is a fixed picture storm window used for?
A fixed storm window adds a protective exterior layer to a non-operating opening such as a picture window, transom, or architectural accent where ventilation is not needed.
What should I do before ordering a custom storm window?
Identify how the primary window operates, measure the opening at multiple points, review frame and glass options, and read the installation requirements. Contact product support if the opening is irregular or unusually large.
