Fixed uPVC Windows Melbourne
Fixed uPVC windows do not open — they are designed purely to admit light, frame a view, or serve a structural or architectural role in a building. Because there is no operating mechanism, hardware or hinge, fixed windows can be manufactured in shapes that operable windows cannot: large rectangles, wide bays, ovals, arches, circles, triangles, trapezoids and fully custom profiles. For heritage feature windows, dramatic view frames, light wells and architectural accents, Novalite fixed uPVC windows provide the same double glazed performance as our operable styles in any shape your design requires.

Custom Shapes for Any Application
The absence of an operating mechanism means fixed windows are not constrained by the engineering requirements of hinges, hardware and frame strength. Novalite can manufacture fixed uPVC frames in square, rectangular, bay, arched, oval, circular, triangular, trapezoidal and fully custom profiles. Heritage arch windows above doors, feature ovals in gable ends, wide picture windows framing garden views, clerestory strips above door heads — fixed uPVC delivers all of these with double glazed thermal and acoustic performance.
Combination with Operable Panels
Fixed windows are commonly combined with operable panels within the same frame or adjacent frames. A large fixed centre panel provides an unobstructed view with maximum glass area while flanking awning or casement sashes provide ventilation. This combination maximises both the visual connection to the outside and the practical utility of the window — popular for living areas, bedrooms and any room where both light and ventilation are priorities.
