fixed window

Glass that stays

A fixed window is a window that doesn't open—it's set permanently in its frame, providing light and views but no ventilation.

Fixed windows are often used where opening isn't practical or necessary: large picture windows, skylights, or architectural features.

In computing, a fixed window refers to a time interval with rigid boundaries, as opposed to a sliding or rolling window.
