Awning windows open outward to welcome fresh air and natural light into your home. As their name suggests, they function similarly to an umbrella. While the window is open, its glass pane protects against your home from rainfall and moisture.

Awning windows are hinged at the top and swing open. Typically, you use the turn of a handle at the bottom of the window to open them. This allows for more energy efficiency because they close and lock tightly, helping to reduce air leaks.

They are not to be confused with casement windows, which open on side hinges and can leave your home exposed. As a result, these windows can be opened year-round, no matter the weather.

Additionally, they are a popular option for being placed above kitchen sinks, in bathrooms or in other central living spaces. Awning replacement windows work best in rooms where high placement is possible. Though that somewhat limits their ease of use, it affords a number of unique advantages over other styles of windows.

These advantages include, better ventilation, increased privacy and a more versatile design. Higher windows capture more sunlight and maximize wall space, while also protecting your home from being exposed to the outside world.
