What are awning windows?
They are a type of window that is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom. When opened, the shape of the tilted window represents an awning-shaped structure. The window can be operated with a handle (or crank) and essentially winds outwards as far as you would like the window opened.
Why use awning windows?
Awning windows are designed to optimise airflow, light and ventilation in your home. This allows fresh air to come in, stale air to move out and you can still keep them open during rainy weather instead of having to shut them. Their slanted design also creates a higher amount of privacy depending on where you have them installed.
Best places to install awning windows
Awning windows are suitable for installation in hard-to-reach areas, they can even be placed high on walls, in small spaces or even narrow areas (think stairway or end of a hallway) where there isn’t much room for a window. Their versatility and unique features make them an excellent choice for a variety of locations in your home.
Bathrooms and kitchen areas are top choices for awning windows. As parts of the home that experience heat or steam, this style of window is great for ventilation to prevent the build-up of grease or mould. They can also be placed high on walls to allow natural light, while preserving privacy.
Awning windows are often used in combination with fixed windows or other window styles in bedrooms and living areas of homes to help filter light and keep rooms feeling airy and fresh.
In a business or office environment, this style of windows work well as they create a hub of style and privacy along with acting as a buffer to outside noise.
