Benefits of Awning Windows

Offers full ventilation. The entire sash of an awning window opens from the top to maximize airflow.

Privacy – since the awning window opens from the top, with obscure glass you can get air in a bathroom, while maintaining privacy.

Can be left open in the rain. Because an awning window opens outward, it prevents rain from entering. A crank at the bottom of the window allows it to be opened wide or only a few inches.

Increases light transmission. Unlike a horizontal or vertical sliding window, an awning window has a full sash without any bars through the middle to cut down light or views to the outside.

Works well in small spaces. A small awning window can be combined with other windows or placed above a sliding glass door. The smaller size of an awning window makes it perfect for use in bedrooms, dormers, kitchens, basements, showers and baths.

Reduces air and drafts. The sash compresses against the frame to provide a better seal than a sliding window.

Can provide shading from the sun. If you opt for tinted glass or internal blinds, an awning window can actually serve as a canopy window.

Step 1 – Set an appointment (live or virtual) to understand your needs – Our process begins by learning the problems with your existing windows and how you want your new ones to work (and look) better.

Step 3 – Your vinyl picture windows are manufactured to exact sizes with high quality standard features and decorative options– Your awning windows are custom made with standard features like fusion welded frames, a heavy-duty crank and thermal pane glass packages. And ask about our decorative glass, grids and woodgrain looks for a one-of-a-kind window. All units include an NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) label to verify their performance in your home.

Step 4 – Remove the old windows and install picture window replacement– During the removal process we’ll respect your property with tarps and surface protection systems. Once the old windows are removed, we’ll ensure the new windows are square and plumb in the opening.

Step 5 – Custom exterior capping installed (most installations)– Our installer will custom cut and fit aluminum capping around your picture window to protect water from coming in. In addition, you’ll never have to paint the exterior casings of your home.
