Design and Functionality: Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. This design allows them to be opened even during rain, as the window itself acts as an “awning” to keep water out.
Ventilation and Natural Light: These windows are great for ventilation because they can be opened fully, allowing fresh air to flow into a room while keeping rain out. Their design also maximizes the amount of natural light entering the space.
Installation Locations: Awning windows are often installed higher on walls or in combination with larger, fixed windows to provide both ventilation and an unobstructed view. They are commonly used in basements, bathrooms, and kitchens due to their versatility and weather-resistant design.
