About ProGlaze Fixed Frame Windows
Fixed frame windows offer a simple way to increase the amount of glazing in your home, with no moving sections to disrupt the view.
Energy Efficiency
With no opening mechanism and energy efficient glazing, there are fewer areas where unwanted air movement can occur.
Totally Secure
The glazing is held securely within the frame, creating a naturally robust arrangement around the entire perimeter.
Long-Term Durability
The UPVC and aluminium materials we use are engineered to tolerate the Scottish climate and provide long-lasting performance.
Made to Measure
Each fixed frame window will be produced to fit the dimensions of your chosen opening, rather than off-the-shelf.
Choice of Colours

It’s all in the details
Nothing should be overlooked as every element contributes to a window design, whether it’s the handle chosen or the UPVC or aluminium colour. ProGlaze lets you dictate things by offering a licence to personalise our window solutions.
Multiple shades and woodgrain finishes
UPVC gives you plenty of scope to move beyond standard white, with a wide selection of colours, textures and woodgrain effects. You can also specify different colours inside and out, making dual-colour combinations an option when you want the exterior and interior to have their own look.
Powder-coated colour with depth
Eclipse aluminium frames are finished using an 11-stage powder-coating process, creating a durable surface with strong paint adhesion. If you want an aluminium frame with a timber-like appearance, sublimation fashions Rosewood, Oak and Walnut effects that reproduce the variation found in natural woodgrain.
Finishing touches that matter
Handles are an important part of a fixed window installation, even where the units themselves don’t open. ProGlaze offers hardware options that can be coordinated across the wider window scheme, helping maintain a consistent specification throughout the home.
Customise your fixed frame windows
Fixed glazing doesn’t have to mean a standard rectangular pane. There are different ways to alter the shape, layout and glass specification.

Common questions about fixed frame windows
Fixed frame windows are a useful option when you want to increase glazing, bring in daylight or create a clear view without an opening section. Find out more about the product with our common questions section.
1. What is a fixed frame window?
A fixed frame window is permanently closed, with the glazing held securely within the frame rather than attached to an opening sash. It’s a practical choice when your priority is increasing daylight and enjoying an uninterrupted outlook rather than enjoying ventilation.
2. Where are fixed frame windows normally fitted?
Fixed glazing is popular in stairwells, living spaces and other areas where making the most of available daylight is important. It’s often used in tandem with opening windows, giving you fixed glazing where views, ventilation and light matter.
3. Are fixed frame windows fully energy-efficient?
They can provide strong thermal performance, with the permanently closed construction avoiding the opening gaps associated with operable windows. With suitable high-performance glazing and an effective frame, they can help reduce draughts and limit heat loss.
4. Do fixed frame windows offer good security?
Their non-opening construction provides an inherent security advantage because there is no sash, handle or opening mechanism to force. The glazing is secured within the frame, creating a solid barrier around the perimeter.
5. Can fixed frame windows be customised?
Yes. There are numerous ways to tailor their appearance, from frame colours and finishes to different glazing specifications. Georgian bars, leaded glass and other decorative options can be used where you want the fixed glazing to reflect your property’s character.
6. If fixed frame windows don't open, how do you ventilate the room?
A fixed window isn’t intended to provide ventilation, so airflow needs to be supplied elsewhere such as trickle vents. An adjacent opening window can provide fresh air, while mechanical ventilation can also be used where appropriate.
7. Do fixed frame windows attract much light?
They can be effective at increasing daylight because there’s no opening hardware or sash taking up space within the glazed area. This allows a larger proportion of the opening to be dedicated to glass.
8. Could other styles exist alongside fixed frame windows?
Yes. They can form part of a mixed installation alongside casement, tilt & turn or sash windows. This allows you to use fixed glazing in locations where maximum light or views are wanted, while retaining opening windows elsewhere for ventilation.
