a non-operable window that does not open or close

A fixed window is a type of window that does not open or close and is designed to remain in a stationary position. It is usually larger than other window types and is used primarily to provide unobstructed views and allow natural light into a space. Fixed windows are often found in living rooms, sunrooms, and areas where ventilation is not a priority. They come in various shapes and sizes, contributing to the architectural style of a building. While they do not offer airflow, fixed windows are energy-efficient and can help reduce heating and cooling costs by providing solid insulation.
