FIXED WINDOWS
Sleek minimalist frame profiles designed to capture panoramic views with maximum energy efficiency
More affordable than operable windows
Virtually maintenance-free
Energy Efficient & ENERGY STAR® Certified
What Are Fixed Windows?
Stationary by design, fixed windows are engineered exclusively to optimize natural day-lighting and frame expansive outdoor views. Unlike oversized picture windows, fixed window profiles share the exact architectural frame dimensions of operable casement or tilt-and-turn units. This lets them integrate seamlessly into multi-pane combinations, maintaining perfect structural symmetry across your facade. Because they remain completely sealed with no moving parts, they provide an absolute barrier against air infiltration, delivering elite thermal performance tailored for the demanding Canadian climate. Blue Door & Window provides expert, factory-precision installation of custom fixed window systems throughout Edmonton, Calgary, Kelowna, and surrounding municipalities across Alberta.
Seamless Configuration Layouts
Available in an array of modular configurations to fit alongside operable windows, allowing for custom multi-lite architectural patterns
Certified Thermal Defense
Built with a continuous structural frame seal that completely eliminates drafts, exceeding strict ENERGY STAR standards to cut down your energy bills
Day-Lighting Efficiency
Engineered to let crisp, panoramic daylight flood deep into interior living spaces without compromising the structural integrity of the home
High-End Exterior Foils
Finished with top-tier, factory-applied REHAU laminate foils in modern dark charcoals, architectural mattes, or classic, deep wood grains
Benefits of Fixed Window Systems
Cost-Efficiency: Because they do not require complex mechanical opening hardware or operational sashes, stationary units offer a highly cost-effective method to glaze massive architectural openings.
Maximum Airtightness: Fabricated without moving seams or perimeter joints that can loosen over time, fixed units deliver a continuous frame seal to completely eliminate drafts and lower heating demand.
Thermal & Acoustic Insulation: The heavy-duty, multi-chambered structural profile minimizes thermal bridging while significantly attenuating high-frequency exterior city or traffic noise.
Low-Maintenance Interior Care: The absence of tracking tracks or mechanical hinges creates an entirely smooth frame surface for effortless interior wiping and maintenance.
Aesthetic Integration: Available across an extensive spectrum of REHAU color profiles, laminates, and textures to seamlessly match surrounding operable architectural profiles.
Architectural Planning Considerations
Passive Ventilation Strategies: Because these units are non-operable, they must be strategically arranged alongside venting windows or balanced mechanical HVAC systems to maintain proper indoor fresh air exchange.
Exterior Accessibility: For upper-floor installations or hard-to-reach multi-story configurations, long-term exterior glass cleaning paths should be planned during the early design stages.
Optimal Placement & Spatial Applications
Fixed windows excel in architectural zones where panoramic daylighting and sightlines are desired, but mechanical ventilation is unnecessary. They are frequently configured in multi-pane geometric arrays alongside high-performance tilt-and-turn or casement systems, establishing a striking uniform facade that balances expansive views with on-demand airflow.
These non-operable profiles are an ideal selection for soaring double-height great rooms, multi-story stairwells, transitional corridors, and dining spaces. They are also widely utilized with premium frosted or textured privacy glass in modern bathrooms and secondary zones where an opening sash is impractical or structurally unnecessary.
Premium Architectural Finishes & Colour Profiles
We offer an extensive curation of advanced decorative surface technologies for our high-performance REHAU vinyl window and door systems. Our curated Standard Collection features seven signature architectural colours alongside highly realistic, tactile woodgrain textures designed to complement classic and modern facades alike.
For architects, builders, and discerning homeowners seeking a bespoke aesthetic, our Custom Portfolio provides 13 premium colour formulations. Available across smooth, matte, or striking metallic expressions, these factory-applied architectural foils are engineered for maximum UV-resistance, exceptional thermal stability, and long-term, low-maintenance durability in severe climates.

Fixed Window Size in Canada
Like all windows, fixed styles have size limitations based on structural requirements and performance standards. Below is a table of the most popular standard sizes and their typical applications for 2026 based on windows crafted from our REHAU Brillant profile.
| Size | Width (in/mm) | Height (in/mm) | |
| Small Fixed Windows | 18″ – 30″ / 460 – 760 mm | 24″ – 36″ / 610 – 915 mm | |
| Medium Fixed Windows | 30″ – 48″ / 760 – 1220 mm | 36″ – 60″ / 915 – 1525 mm | |
| Large Fixed Windows | 48″ – 72″ / 1220 – 1830 mm | 60″ – 84″ / 1525 – 2130 mm | |
| Panoramic (Picture) | 72″ – 96″ / 1830 – 2440 mm | 72″ – 108″ / 1830 – 2740 mm |
