Description of Awning Windows

Awning windows have a single glass panel (or sash) that is hinged at the top and swings open from the bottom. It swings outward, away from the exterior of the home. Awning windows are similar to casement windows in their operation, in that they use a cranking mechanism to open and close the window. The differences are that casement windows are horizontally oriented and awning windows are vertically oriented (they are wider than they are tall), and casement windows open via side hinges, while awning windows have hinges at the top. When closed, awning windows provide you with an airtight seal, making them extremely energy efficient.

Because the mechanisms in awning windows are a bit more complex than those in other types of windows, you want to make sure you purchase high-quality awning windows for your San Diego home. Cheap awning windows can break over time, leaving you with a window that is inoperable.

Common Applications

Since awning windows are horizontally oriented, they are typically placed higher up on the wall. This makes them great for rooms in which you want some privacy from those outside—such as in a bathroom. They also work well over top of countertops and other fixtures because they are easy to open using the crank at the bottom of the window. Some homeowners choose to place an awning window over top of a picture window, giving them the benefit of the viewing area that a picture window provides, with the ventilation you can get from an awning window. Finally, awning windows are great for basements because they are very secure, offer excellent ventilation, and can be placed high up on the basement wall so they are above ground level.

Operation of Awning Windows

Awning windows open and close via an easy-to-use cranking mechanism. You can open your awning window up just a crack or up to 90 degrees from the exterior of your home, depending on how much fresh air you want to allow in.

Benefits of Awning Windows

Awning windows have many great benefits for San Diego homes. They:

• Can be placed higher up on the wall, so they are great for rooms in which you want added privacy.
• Are easy to open, even when placed over countertops or fixtures.
• Allow in a good amount of fresh air.
• Provide an unobstructed view of the outdoors since there is a single sash.
• Are very secure and airtight.
• Can be left open, even when it’s raining.

Considerations for Awning Windows

As with any style of window, there are some things to keep in mind with awning windows. Here are a few things to consider:

• They need proper clearance outside, since they open outward.
• They typically cannot be used as an egress window in a bedroom.
• They will have a screen on the interior side of the window.

Awning Windows That Are Made to Order for Your San Diego Home

All the replacement windows we sell at BM Windows, including awning windows, are made to order. This means you can choose any number of upgrades or features to add to your windows when you order them (although all the windows we sell come standard with many great features). Maybe you want your awning window to have obscured glass for extra privacy in your bathroom. That’s no problem! Or perhaps you want your windows to have a frame color other than standard white. We can do that too! If you’re not sure what types of features might be beneficial for your home, we can explain the various options and help you decide which ones to include and which ones you can do without.

We can also have windows made in any size you need. Replacement windows are designed to fit in the openings of your existing windows, so when we meet with you in your home, we will take careful measurements to ensure that your new windows will fit perfectly.

Awning Windows Installed by Replacement Window Experts

Did you know that some replacement window companies in San Diego outsource the installation of the windows they sell to subcontractors? In other words, after you sign a contract with them to purchase windows, the company then goes and signs a contract with someone else for the installation of those windows in your home. That’s not how we do things at BM Windows. We have our own team of dedicated window installers who have received extensive training. Most of our installers have been with us for many years and have installed thousands of replacement windows throughout San Diego County. They are some of the best installers in the business! We are so confident in their work that we guarantee it with our own installation warranty.
