Fixed windows, also known as picture windows, are windows that cannot be opened or closed. They are designed to provide unobstructed views and allow natural light to enter a room.
Fixed windows are generally more energy-efficient than operable windows because they do not have any moving parts that can allow air to leak in or out of a room. They can also be manufactured in larger sizes than operational windows and require very little maintenance, as they have no hinges, handles and movable parts to clean and oil. However, they cannot be used for ventilation purposes and may not be suitable for rooms that require frequent air circulation.
Fixed windows come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including rectangular, square, circular, and triangular and are often used in combination with operable windows or patio doors to create beautiful and unique glass features for your home.
VELFAC fixed windows are the ideal solution for modern and contemporary home designs to create a clean, minimalist look.
Minimum size
as an element with one sash, the minimum size of the fixed sash is 280mm x 280mm.
in an element with more sashes, smaller fixed sashes are possible: WxH ≥ 260mm x 230mm.
Top guided windows provide particularly good ventilation, as fresh air is able to enter from both above and below.
Also known as awning windows, Top guided windows are hinged at the top, perfect for wet climates as they block out rain.
One of the key benefits of top guided windows is their ease of operation. The sash is guided smoothly along the track, making it easy to open and close the window with minimal effort. This is especially useful for windows that are located high up or in hard-to-reach places, as the top guided design makes them easy to operate. Top guided windows also provide excellent ventilation control. The design allows for the sash to be opened at varying degrees, allowing for precise control over the amount of air that enters the room. This is particularly useful in hot or rainy climates, where ventilation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable indoor climate.
Finally, top guided windows are aesthetically pleasing and can add value to your property. The clean, sleek design of top guided windows is visually appealing and can complement a variety of architectural styles. Additionally, their energy-efficient features can help reduce heating and cooling costs, making them an attractive investment for homeowners.

Top guided windows are incredibly useful especially installed in places that are harder to reach. Think for example at windows installed above sinks or cabinet – in a top guided window, the handle is placed on the lower frame, making them easier to open and close.
Reversible windows, also known as tilt-and-turn windows, are a type of window that when opened can be rotated up to 170 degrees to be cleaned from the inside of the house.
Reversible windows are often used in modern homes and buildings because of their flexibility and convenience. The design of reversible windows includes a dual hinge mechanism that allows the window to be opened or tilted from the top, as well as a locking mechanism to ensure security when the window is closed. When closed, this type of window stays completely flush to their frame and the building, so it is utterly unobtrusive.
The mechanism makes for a smooth, sleek movement that is also a lot safer than stretching out of an open window at height, which can be needed to reach the handle to close the window. This pivot mechanism will also allow the window to be stopped at a whole range of angles, so you can take complete control of how far open your window is.
Reversible are especially useful in homes’ upper floors where cleaning the windows from the outside can be challenging, or for use near sinks, or other places where items near the windowsill might restrict opening.
Overall, reversible windows offer a practical solution for homeowners and building managers who want to maximize ventilation and ease of maintenance without sacrificing security or aesthetics.

Side guided windows are a popular type of window in many houses. They are designed to slide horizontally along a track, creating a gap on the side ideal for cleaning your windows from the inside of the house.

Sidehung windows, also called casement windows, are a type of window that opens outwards on hinges attached to the side of the window frame. They are a popular choice for houses as they provide good ventilation and the best “clear opening” area for the size of the frame.
Side hung windows are fairly versatile, so they’ll work in almost any window opening: they are ideal in spaces like living rooms or master bedrooms, and are also the best for fire egress routes. Another benefit of VELFAC side hung windows is their energy efficiency. When properly installed and sealed, they can help to keep a home comfortable and energy-efficient by preventing air leaks and minimizing heat transfer. Despite their many benefits they may not be suitable for areas where space is limited, such as patios or decks.
Despite their many benefits, there are some drawbacks to consider when choosing casement windows. One potential issue is their size and weight, which can make them difficult to open and close, particularly for those with limited mobility. Additionally, because they open outward, they may not be suitable for areas where space is limited, such as patios or decks.
In conclusion, casement windows offer a range of benefits, including energy efficiency, easy maintenance, and versatile style options. However, homeowners should consider their specific needs and limitations when choosing windows for their home.
