Professional Awning Windows Replacement & Installations

Awning windows are designed to increase airflow while excluding the entrance of rain. 

Awning Window Features

Awning windows are hinged, crank operated windows. The hinge is at the top of the frame, and the window swings outward from the bottom.

To open an awning window, you need to unlock both sides of the window. Unfold the handle and begin to turn it clockwise until it reaches your desired angle. Some awning windows can open to 90 degrees, but homeowners often keep then at a 45-degree angle. To close the window, you turn the crank the opposite way and lock it on both sides.

In addition to increased ventilation that awning windows bring, they also provide privacy when they are placed high up on the wall. You can enjoy this window anywhere in your home while maintaining your safety and security. This window can be open all year round. Since awning windows do not have rails or bars on the glass, it provides homeowners with an unobstructed view of the outside.

Benefits of Awning Windows

The hinge at the top allows for more ventilation and protection from unfavorable weather such as the rain. Due to the outward tilt at the bottom, it makes for the perfect window to bring in a breeze when it rains. This is where the awning window excels.

Awning windows are versatile and can be ideal for several locations in your home. Homeowners often place their awning windows in their bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen, and sometimes paired with a fixed window.

Awning windows are great for bathrooms! When the steam from a hot shower starts to take over the bathroom, you can simply open your awning window. This is when hot, stagnant air flow is guided out of your bathroom and more air can circulate. Another great location for awning windows is the bedroom. You can peacefully enjoy the breeze from a rainy day while listening to the soothing sounds of rain.
