Awning Window Replacement

Casement and double hung windows are arguably the easiest windows to clean, but most newer awning windows feature functional mechanisms that allow for the full window to be cleaned from the comfort of the inside of your home. This means you do not need to pull out your ladder to fully clean your awning windows.

The main benefits of installing awning windows in your home include:

1.Increased Ventilation: Awning windows open outward allowing for better circulation of
air. Due to its design, awning windows shield the window opening from rain fall allowing you to keep fresh air flowing throughout your home, even during a rainstorm.

2.Unobstructed Views: Awning windows are designed in a way that they maximize the amount of glass utilized, allowing for clear views of the outside and also allowing for plenty of natural light to enter your home.

3.Energy Efficient: Awning windows typically have multiple locking points, creating a tight seal between the sash and the frame. This reduces the amount of heat loss in the colder months and heat gain in the warmer months, increasing your home’s energy efficiency.

4.Security: Due to their design and locking system, awning windows are difficult to penetrate and are less likely to compromise your home’s security.

5.Versatility: Arguably one of the most important benefits of awning windows is their versatility. They are available in a wide range of sizes, styles, materials and can be used in rooms throughout your home to increase natural light and ventilation.

There is no hard-fast rule about when and where you should use awning windows, in fact one of the appealing factors of this window type is its versatility. With that being said, it is popular to use awning windows in conjunction with larger picture windows to maximize views while still allowing for ventilation. They are also commonly used higher up on walls for privacy or on top of doorways to allow for light and ventilation when the doors are closed.
