Ensuring that Awning Windows Are Energy Efficient
As air is heated or cooled in your home, the purpose of energy efficient windows is to prevent that air from leaving. This helps regulate the temperature of the home, lowering winter heating and summer cooling costs. These windows also have the added benefit enhancing indoor comfort, but the primary advantage of installation is the annual savings on utilities.
Awning window hardware in newer awning windows are increasingly designed to improve energy efficiency in the home, making for a big difference when older windows are replaced.
Comparing Awning Windows and Casement Windows
Casement windows and awning windows are the most commonly installed window styles. Both awning windows and casement windows are considered “crank windows” because they open and close using a cranking mechanism. Both window types are easy to open and close simply by turning an easy-to-reach handle.
While these window types are similar in style, they do have differences. Casement windows are typically hinged at the side, opening outward, either to the left or the right. An awning window is hinged at the top and opens accordingly.
Since both awning windows and casement windows open outwards, they provide optimum ventilation, which offers indoor air circulation that contributes to better energy efficiency. The glass is also a factor in better energy efficiency.
