WHEN DO YOU NEED AWNING WINDOWS?

Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward, creating a “roof” over the window that allows fresh air in while keeping rain and snow out. They effortlessly open and close with a crank handle and are typically wider than they are tall, giving them some unique benefits.

Awning windows provide better airflow than many other styles. Plus, small awning window sizes mean they can fit into tight spaces. They’re perfect for areas that need good ventilation but where larger windows aren’t practical, like basements, laundry rooms, and bathrooms.

Awning-style windows are also a good choice when you want to place a window high up on a wall, due to design considerations or for privacy. They can be stacked on top of each other, combined with other window styles, or placed around nonopening windows.

With options for vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum awning windows, you can find a style that suits your home. Aluminum frames are strong and sleek, while vinyl awning windows are popular for their insulation properties and low maintenance.

FAQs About Awning Windows

What are awning windows?

Awning windows are a style where the window is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom. This design allows for ventilation while resisting high winds and protecting the interior of the home from rain and snow, making these windows ideal for use in various climates and weather conditions. They’re very versatile and can be combined with other styles or installed above doors or other windows.

How do awning windows work?

Awning windows operate with a mechanical crank or push-out mechanism, allowing them to open and close with ease. The outward opening feature is particularly beneficial for promoting airflow while preventing rain from entering the room. Small awning window sizes are suitable for hard-to-reach areas, providing accessibility and convenience in spaces like bathrooms and basements.

How far do awning windows open?

The extent to which awning windows open can vary depending on the model and the manufacturer's design. Generally, they offer a wide range of opening angles, from slightly ajar to fully open, allowing for customizable ventilation and control over airflow into the room.

How do I clean awning windows from the inside?

Cleaning awning windows from the inside is relatively simple, as many designs allow the window to pivot or tilt inwards. This accessibility makes it easy to clean both the interior and exterior surfaces without the need for special equipment or outside access. Opting for durable, easy-maintenance vinyl awning windows makes cleaning even more hassle-free.

How energy-efficient are single pane awning windows?

Single pane awning windows are less energy efficient compared to double or triple pane options, as they offer less insulation from outdoor temperatures. For enhanced energy efficiency, we recommend vinyl windows or our thermally improved aluminum awning windows, plus features like glazing, Low-E coatings, and insulated frames to reduce heat transfer and lower energy costs.
