What Are Awning Windows?
Posted in Window Parts, on April 09, 2021
Spring is just around the corner, and it’s becoming more normal to open up the windows and allow some fresh air into the home. As the season progresses into the summer, your windows are likely going to be left open for most of the day. Windows plays a huge role in the aesthetic of any room in your home, and choosing the right window can help bring out the room. Awning windows are a perfect addition to any home, as they come in a variety of options and colors which can fit with the interior design of your home. At Truth Distributors, we provide a variety of awning window hardware and can help you select that best matches your home.
What Are Awning Windows
Awning windows are typically hinged at the top of the frame and can either open outwards or inwards, providing ventilation into your home while also providing protection from rain and snow. Awning windows are a great way to get a better view of the area as they have fewer frames inside the window and also can save space on the wall. In addition, awning windows typically open outwards, allowing you to open your window and save on interior space.
How Do Awning Windows Work
Most awning windows have a crank at the bottom of the frame, which can be turned. As the crank turns, the lift at the bottom of the window extends the window outwards. Awning windows are typically found in kitchens right beside the sink but have applications everywhere.
Pros and Cons of Awning Windows
As mentioned above, awning windows provide better ventilation and protection than regular windows when opened. Due to the way they open, awning windows can easily be opened during a rainstorm and prevent rain from getting inside at the same time. During the summer, this will let cool air into your home while also keeping the rain out. Awning windows also have a more modern look and provide excellent energy efficiency.

One of the main cons of awning windows is that they can be difficult to clean. These windows have a number of different components, including the crank, lift and slant, which all need to be cleaned to allow for good function. Cleaning the awning window may take a little longer than usual, but the results are more than worth it.
