A fixed window is a non-operable window, a sheet of glass held permanently in a slim steel frame, built to do one thing perfectly: frame a view. It is the simplest, purest expression of the steel-and-glass language, and with no operable hardware to interrupt it, the sightline is as thin and the glass as large as the opening allows.
We draw fixed windows to the architecture, not the other way around. Tall and narrow beside a door, wide and low over a kitchen run, or assembled into a full wall of light, each is welded and finished by hand in Mod Metal Doors' Central Texas shop and set true so the glass reads flat and clean.
Fixed windows are the workhorses of a steel facade, and combined with operable casements and corner units, they let us glaze an entire elevation in one consistent steel profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fixed window used for?
A fixed window frames a view and admits light where ventilation isn't needed: tall and narrow beside a door, wide and low over a kitchen run, or assembled into a full wall of glass. Because nothing operates, the steel sightline stays as thin as possible.
Can fixed steel windows match my steel doors?
Yes. Mod Metal Doors builds windows and doors in the same shop and the same steel profile, so fixed windows, casements, corner units, and doors read as one system across an elevation.
Do fixed steel windows come in standard sizes?
No. Every fixed window is drawn to your specific opening and welded to order in Central Texas, then installed anywhere in Texas by the same team that built it.
