Vinyl picture windows, explained.
Vinyl picture windows from Puro Windows are NFRC-certified PuroCima vinyl units built to your sizes and supplied factory-direct to builders across Washington, Oregon and California. Best for large views, stairwells, great rooms and pairing with operable windows.
The PuroCima picture window is fixed, so all of the opening is glass. With no moving sash it has the best energy performance in the range, with U-factors as low as 0.23.
Builders use it for large views, gable ends and stairwells, and pair it with casements or sliders where the room needs ventilation. It is built to custom sizes, with 19 certified glass packages that qualify for Washington.
Every order uses a certified glass package that meets the Washington State Energy Code (U-factor 0.30 or lower). Factory-direct, builders typically save around 35% on the window package; plan on three and a half to four months from order to site.
