What is the difference between fixed windows and picture windows?

For instance, it is difficult for most people to differentiate between fixed and picture windows. Picture windows usually have a sealed unit that is glazed into the window. These are non-operational windows that allow an unobstructed view and maximize the glass surface. Window Mart can as well customize them in such a way that they match with other operational windows such as fixed casement, casement, double hung or side-slider windows.
