Awning Windows
Awning windows open outward from the bottom, creating a sheltered opening that helps direct fresh air into the home while maintaining a strong closing seal. This style is ideal when you want dependable ventilation in compact spaces, higher window placements, or rooms where comfort matters most. Many homeowners choose awning windows for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and above picture windows — because you get airflow without giving up security, efficiency, or a clean exterior look.

Why Awning Windows Are a Smart Choice
Comfort-driven ventilation, stable hardware, and a seal you can rely on.
Airflow from both sides
Unlike a casement window that mainly “catches” airflow from one direction, an awning can vent effectively from either side. Crack it open and it helps pull in fresh air while still keeping the opening compact and controlled.
Hardware-built stability
Awning windows use a top-hinge system with a crank operator at the bottom, plus locking points on the left and right. That multi-point contact helps keep the sash stable and aligned as conditions change — especially during wind and seasonal temperature swings.
Comfort-focused closure
The crank pulls the sash in tight, and the side locks help “draw” the window into the frame for a consistent seal. The result is dependable weather resistance and everyday comfort — the kind of detail that supports long-term performance.
Performance & Glass Options
Choose the glazing and glass performance that matches your comfort goals.
Double or Triple (great for larger openings)
Double glazing is a strong all-around choice. If you’re planning triple glazing for added comfort, awning windows can be an excellent match for larger openings. Because the sash is supported from the top and the operator controls the movement, the window stays well-balanced and remains easy to open and close — even with heavier glass packages.
LoĒ performance available
LoĒ glass is a high-performance, microscopic coating applied to the insulated glass unit that helps manage radiant heat transfer. Depending on the LoĒ option selected, it can help keep indoor warmth where you want it in winter, reduce unwanted solar heat gain in summer, and support year-round comfort — while also helping reduce UV-related fading for many interior finishes.
