AWNING WINDOWS
Modern vinyl awning windows
Awning windows feature a top hinge and open outwardly from the bottom. These windows are made either from aluminum, wood, vinyl, or fiberglass. They also come with either of the following mechanisms for opening and closing: a sash, crank or handle.
Awning windows are wider than they are tall and also come in one, two, or three lite configurations. In essence, they are perfect for shorter openings and spaces where the height of a wall is an issue. Awning windows are designed and built with the goal of providing complete unobstructed views of the outside. They are perfect for keeping a good healthy airflow in a room and won’t fill your home with water while doing so.
Specifically, these windows easily shed water, so you could even keep an awning open during light rainy weather and your floors won’t get wet. The reason Awning windows are some of the most energy-efficient windows out there is that they actually use the power of the wind to create a firmer, more airtight seal.
ARE THESE WINDOWS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Increase airflow and wall space
Thanks to their size, Awning Windows are perfect for tiny openings in rooms that need more sunlight and better ventilation. You could also install them closer to the top of a wall for more privacy and security.
They are typically installed in kitchens and bathrooms but could also come in handy in other rooms that don’t have a lot of usable wall space. Awning windows are also perfect for rooms, hallways, and staircases that need some light and fresh airflow. Also, you could set them up above a larger window or door to maximize the amount of natural light as well as improve the ventilation inside of a room.
Additionally, because they are so customizable and you can choose an opening and closing mechanism, they will likely fit into most homes and suit most homeowners’ needs.
