Awning windows feature a top hinge and open outwardly from the bottom. These windows are made either from aluminum, wood, vinyl, or fiberglass. They also come with either of the following mechanisms for opening and closing: a sash, crank or handle.

Awning windows are wider than they are tall and also come in one, two, or three lite configurations. In essence, they are perfect for shorter openings and spaces where the height of a wall is an issue. Awning windows are designed and built with the goal of providing complete unobstructed views of the outside. They are perfect for keeping a good healthy airflow in a room and won&#;t fill your home with water while doing so.
Specifically, these windows easily shed water, so you could even keep an awning open during light rainy weather and your floors won&#;t get wet. The reason Awning windows are some of the most energy-efficient windows out there is that they actually use the power of the wind to create a firmer, more airtight seal.

A study by the University of Minnesota and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) initiated by the Professional Awnings Manufacturers Association (PAMA) (www.awningstoday.com) reports that awnings save energy on air-conditioning. Another benefit is that awnings also reduce maximum electricity demand, which potentially results in lowered mechanical equipment costs. The study showed that savings of cooling energy from awnings vary from 10% to 69% and peak electricity demand is reduced by 15% to 49%, depending on the location. This makes your awnings an investment that will save you money year after year.
Studies conducted by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) show that window awnings can reduce solar heat gain by up to 65% when installed on the south side and up to 77% when installed on the west side of the building.
