Awning Window Series

Homeowners often use awning windows in bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, stairwells, and high wall openings. They’re also popular combined with large fixed windows in living rooms and bedrooms for extra ventilation.

In light rain, yes—this is one of the key benefits. Because the sash tilts outward, the glass helps protect the opening so you can still get airflow without water coming straight in, as long as the rain isn’t blowing hard toward that wall.

When closed, the sash compresses tightly against the weather seals on all sides, creating a strong air and water barrier. Paired with Low-E insulated glass, awning windows can be very energy-efficient.
