What Are Awning Windows?

Awning windows operate similarly to casement windows, however, instead of hinging at the side, awning windows hinge at the top and open at the bottom. This window style is often found in bathrooms, hallways and basements, but can be placed anywhere in the home.

Featuring a dual lock system and a crank handle to open, these windows are easy to use and offer excellent security benefits to keep your home safe.  Pair your new awning windows with fixed windows for expansive views without sacrificing ventilation!

INSTALLATION CHOICES FOR AWNING WINDOWS

Full-Frame Vs Retrofitting

Full-Frame Replacement

Installing a new awning window with a full-frame replacement service includes removing the entire window, including the frame. This is a slightly more invasive window installation method, however, it offers our installers the chance to inspect the surrounding area for any potential issues, such as rot and mould.

Retrofit Installation

In comparison, installing new awning windows with a retrofit service involves only replacing the window sash and leaving the existing frame in place. This less invasive method is only advised for homeowners whose window frames are still in excellent condition.

FAQ

Questions About Awning Windows

What are awning windows?

An awning window is a type of crank window that is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom. It is often combined with large stationary windows for a better view. Because of their unique opening mechanism, awning windows allow for ventilation and protection from the rain.

Where to install them?

The awning window shares many similarities with the casement window. The main difference lies in the operational functionalities. For example, while casement windows allow for a full opening of 92 inches, awning windows have smaller openings that don’t allow for as much air circulation.

What’s the difference between awning and casement windows?

Both of these window types are commonly known as “crank” windows because they open using a cranking mechanism. Awning windows are hinged at the top and are made for openings in which the height is smaller than the width. Although both windows are extremely popular choices among Canadian households, there are differences in terms of where they are installed. For example, awning windows are usually installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements (due to their opening mechanism that prevents water from pouring inside during rain), while casement windows are placed in areas such as living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms.

What is a fixed awning window?

A fixed awning window is designed not to open and is often installed alongside other operational windows to allow for a better, unobstructed view.

What are the benefits of awning windows?

Awning windows come with many benefits. Because of their unique shape and design, awning windows can be placed higher in walls, and since they are hinged at the top and open outwards, they provide great protection against rain. They also have a modern, attractive look and look great as standalone windows, or combined with others.
