What are awning windows?
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom using a crank handle. This design allows fresh air to enter the home while helping protect the interior from rain.
Where are awning windows usually installed?
Awning windows are commonly installed in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and other areas where ventilation is important. They are also often combined with larger fixed or picture windows.
Are awning windows energy efficient?
Yes. Because the window opens outward from the bottom, it creates a small cover that helps prevent rain from entering while still allowing airflow.
Can awning windows stay open when it rains?
Yes. Modern vinyl awning windows with double or triple-pane glass, Low-E coatings, and argon gas provide excellent insulation and help reduce heating and cooling costs.
Are awning windows secure?
Awning windows are designed with multi-point locking systems and durable hardware, providing strong security and a tight seal when closed.
