Awning Windows
Superior Ventilation and Weather Protection in Every Season
Awning windows feature hinges at the top that allow the sash to swing outward from the bottom, creating a protective awning effect. This unique design creates a natural barrier that shields your home’s interior from rain while still permitting fresh air circulation. The operational mechanism provides exceptional control over ventilation patterns throughout your living spaces.
Installing awning windows delivers remarkable energy efficiency by creating tight seals when closed that prevent air infiltration. These windows excel in hard-to-reach locations like above kitchen sinks or in bathrooms where privacy and ventilation are equally important. The outward-opening design maximizes your interior space since no clearance is needed for window treatments or furniture placement.
Awning windows come in various widths and height configurations to suit different architectural requirements and room dimensions. Standard sizes typically range from 2 to 4 feet in width and 2 to 6 feet in height. Custom dimensions are available to accommodate unique openings or specific design preferences in your home.
Regular cleaning of the hinges and operating mechanisms ensures smooth functionality for years to come. Lubricating the hardware annually prevents friction and extends the lifespan of your awning windows. Inspecting the weatherstripping periodically and replacing worn seals maintains optimal energy efficiency and protection against the elements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Awning Windows
Before making your window investment, we want to ensure you have all the information needed to make a confident decision. Here are the most common questions our customers ask about awning windows:
Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, creating an awning-like effect. This design allows ventilation even during rainfall since the open sash shields the interior from the weather. They’re particularly effective in areas where you want airflow without compromising protection from the elements.
These windows work exceptionally well above kitchen sinks, in bathrooms, and in basements where wall space is limited. They’re also ideal for placement higher on walls where operation from floor level with a crank is convenient. Many homeowners combine them with fixed picture windows to create attractive and functional window walls.
The compression seal created when awning windows close provides superior protection against air infiltration compared to sliding window types. The sash presses firmly against the frame when locked, eliminating gaps that allow conditioned air to escape. This tight seal translates directly into lower heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Most awning windows feature easy-to-use crank mechanisms that require minimal effort to open and close. The mechanical advantage of the crank system means smooth operation even for larger window sizes. Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of the hardware ensure effortless functionality for many years.
Awning windows typically do not meet egress requirements for emergency exits due to their limited opening size and outward swing. Building codes specify minimum opening dimensions for bedroom windows that serve as emergency exits. We can help you determine which window styles meet egress requirements for your specific installation locations.
We offer awning windows in vinyl, fiberglass, and composite materials that provide excellent durability and low maintenance. Each material offers distinct advantages in terms of insulation value, strength, and aesthetic options. Our window specialists will help you select the best frame material based on your priorities and budget.
Quality awning windows professionally installed by Window & Door Professionals can last 20 to 30 years or more with proper maintenance. The longevity depends on material quality, installation precision, and environmental factors affecting your home. We back our installations with comprehensive warranties that protect your investment.
Cleaning awning windows is straightforward since the exterior glass is easily accessible when the window is opened. Wipe down the frame and glass with mild soap and water several times per year. Annual inspection and lubrication of the operating hardware ensures continued smooth performance.
Modern awning windows incorporate multi-point locking systems that engage at several locations around the frame perimeter. The hook-style locks make forced entry extremely difficult when the window is properly secured. The outward-opening design also makes it challenging for intruders to gain leverage from the exterior.
Awning windows pair beautifully with fixed picture windows to create expansive window walls with both view and ventilation. They also work well when stacked vertically or installed above or below casement windows. Our design team can show you configuration options that maximize both aesthetics and functionality.
