Best Uses for Awning Windows

Awning windows are very versatile windows that have a variety of uses. Whether on their own or in combination with other window types, awning windows provide you with many benefits over other styles of windows, including ease of use, improved ventilation, and design versatility.

There are a number of ways to use awning windows in your home. Below are some of our favorites, found on Houzz.com.

Awning Windows as Standalone Units

Many people envision small rectangular windows when they think awning windows, but, in fact, they can be very traditional in appearance. Awning windows are attractive as standalone units because they offer versatility that other types of windows cannot match.

Awning Windows in Bathrooms

Want to improve the natural ventilation in your bathroom without sacrificing your privacy? No problem. Awning windows can be installed higher on walls than most standard windows—and with easy hand crank operation, they give you the ventilation you desire with the privacy you need.

Awning Windows in Kitchens

Awning windows are popular—and smart choices—for kitchens, particularly in the sink area. Leaning over the sink or counter to open traditional windows in a kitchen setting can be difficult, but with awning windows, letting in air is simple. A simple crank allows you to quickly and easily open your awning windows—making them ideal for hard-to-reach areas in the kitchen.

Awning Windows as Accents

Awning windows make an excellent accent window. Popular above doors, fixed pane windows, or as part of a bay or bow window, awning windows give you additional ways to increase natural lighting and more versatility in ventilating a room in all weather conditions. In this image, we see awning windows installed in a sun room over French doors and fixed pane windows—maximizing natural lighting and ventilation.

Great company that backs their product. We built a new house and Quality Window & Doors was the subcontractor for our Weathershield windows and doors. Wayne and Noe came out to service a broken handle on our 16' Weathershield sliding door. We were technically beyond the warranty period but they repaired the handle for free. They also took the time to go around and adjust our other exterior doors to make sure they were well aligned now that the house had settled a bit. Wayne was a real expert and got all the doors adjusted and working perfectly!

Great service. I highly recommend Quality Window and Door for information, purchasing and service. I have used this firm for a number of years both as an architect and as a client. I've always been very satisfied with their products and service.

We are thrilled with our new windows and door! Excellent job from estimate to completion! The install team was fantastic and I loved that the lead installer was also present during the initial measurement phase. It took a few months for the windows to arrive so it was really nice to see a familiar face for the install and he knew exactly what to do! Highly recommend!!

QWD is a first rate company. The staff from product selection, estimate, showroom, measurement and installation were professional and highly competent. The installation crew paid attention to detail and went through great lengths to ensure our satisfaction. I love the new windows and I recommend them without reservation.
