What are architectural windows?
Architectural windows are fixed, custom-shaped windows designed for style and natural light. They are typically non-opening and used to create a visual focal point, highlight architectural features, or bring more daylight into a space.
Do architectural windows open?

They are non-operable by design, which allows for better insulation, cleaner aesthetics, and uninterrupted views.
