Window styles
Awning windows.
Hinged at the top, opens out from the bottom. Air in, rain out.
What it is
The rain window.
Open when nothing else can be.
An awning window is hinged along the top and cranks out from the bottom, so the glass makes a little roof over the opening. You can leave it open in a shower and the rain runs off the outside.
Closed, it seals the same way a casement does, by compression, all the way around.
Where it fits
Where an awning belongs.
Small openings, wet rooms, high walls.
- Bathrooms. Vent the steam without anyone seeing in.
- Basements and crawlspace walls. Short wide openings are what awnings are made for.
- Under or above a big picture window, so the view stays clear and the room still breathes.
- High on a wall where you want light and air but not a big window.
Straight talk
What to know before you pick it.
Honest trade-offs.
- Screen on the inside, since the sash swings out.
- Not an exit window. It does not open far enough to climb through.
- Do not place one where the open sash would be at head height on a patio or walkway.
Fair questions
Questions people ask.
Do not see yours? Call or text (601) 966-0319 and ask.
Can I leave an awning window open overnight?
Many people do. It sheds rain and the opening is small. Lock it when you leave the house.
How is an awning different from a hopper?
An awning hinges at the top and opens out. A hopper hinges at the bottom and opens in. We install awnings.
Do awnings come in the same glass as the rest?
Yes. Low-E argon, warm-edge spacer, same as every window we sell.
Which one is yours?
Tell us how many openings and where. We measure, write one number, and install.
