Commercial Windows
Impact Fixed Windows
A fixed, or picture, window specified for impact resistance. It does not open.
An impact fixed window keeps the glass in the frame with no sash travel. Published layouts include a single panel, two to four panels, a corner condition, and a window wall. It can sit beside an operable neighbor, which is priced as its own line.
A fixed window has no handle, hinge, or crank. Florida approval FL40279 is the code published for this impact fixed product. Division 8 USA does not issue that approval.
Where it is specified
- Lobbies and living areas that need daylight in a debris region
- Combined units with a separate ventilator
- Elevations marked fixed or picture and impact

Confirm before pricing
- FL40279 is the approval code printed on the impact fixed product page. Division 8 USA does not issue that approval.
- The same general hurricane sentences about missile level, wind speed, and Miami-Dade appear on this page and are not tied to FL40279 in a test table.
- Source copy also says a fixed window is easy to operate. That sentence conflicts with a non-operable unit and is not used here.
- Operating screens are not part of a fixed lite unless the drawings show a screen on a neighboring ventilator.
