Learn About Awning Windows

An awning window is a great option for those looking for a smooth yet functional design. Generally wider than they are tall, awning windows easily fit smaller wall sections, such as those in the kitchen. In addition to providing more light in areas above cabinets, countertops, and appliances, your awning window opens out for ventilation. A kitchen awning window is also grid-free, so you can enjoy stress-reducing wide views of the outdoors while you clean, cook, or entertain.

Not just for kitchens, an awning window can optimize light and air flow in any room—and in all weather. Its frame opens outward to let breezes in while keeping moisture out and-because it’s hinged at the top-that means it can even ventilate your house in heavy rain! When you do close your awning windows, you can be sure they’ll stay secure with a tight seal. A dual-armed crank mechanism ensures a complete close over the screen, but with little effort.
