Why choose awning windows?

To maximize the glass

With their sleek design, awning windows work well in large window combination units. Often, they’re paired with picture windows to expand views and bring in fresh air thanks to their operability.

To increase ease of use

With a crank opening and the option to add power operation (so you can click a button to open and close), awning windows can be opened with minimum effort — even when placed high on a wall.

To improve efficiency

With their single sash design that seals like a refrigerator door, awning windows are one of the most energy efficient types of windows. Their seal tightens when the wind blows against them.

To fit challenging spots

With their compact, rectangular shape, awning windows fit well in high spots. They can provide privacy in bedrooms or bathrooms. They also fit well in basements with little above-ground wall space.
