Privacy & Security:
Awning windows do not compromise the security and privacy of a space while allowing natural light and air to enter. If you mount them high on the wall, people will not be able to look inside or easily use them to enter your home because they cannot see through them.
Rain-Ready:
They perform very well in wet conditions. Due to the design of awning windows, many homeowners choose to keep their windows open during inclement weather, even though this increases the risk of rain entering the home.
Variety of Options:
Awning windows are adaptable and can be purchased in a variety of configurations, styles, forms, and materials. Awning windows start at a fairly low price, making them a perfect choice for those with limited financial resources.
Sliding Awning Windows:
Sliding windows have their operating and locking hardware located at the bottom of the window, making them easy to use even in hard-to-access areas. This allows the window to be opened quickly, providing fresh air even in wet weather.
Swing-Out Awning Windows:
Swing-out windows swing outward and can be operated by turning a swing arm inside the window. Most of the time, these swing arms allow the window to open to a wide angle, maximizing the amount of fresh air that enters and leaves the house.
Standard Sizes of Shade Windows:
The choice of the size of the shade window can have a significant impact on how inclined you are to choose a shade window over a similar option, such as a casement window. If the shade window is too large, opening the window may be difficult; if the shade window is too small, the homeowner may not be able to meet your requirements. The standard sizes of shade windows can be relatively flexible, providing a lot of flexibility to meet a variety of different spaces.
The width of most shade windows averages about 2 inches to 3 feet 10 inches. The height usually ranges from 20 inches to 7 feet 8 inches, ensuring that both large and small windows can be installed regardless of the size of the house.
For those who have this need, additional replacement windows can be installed side by side to create a larger shade window. This practice may be common, for example, in restaurants that want to use outdoor space during the summer while protecting against light rain. In such venues, umbrellas or other forms of light rain protection are often used. Some homeowners in warmer climates may also choose to group multiple awnings together to create a room that can be used both indoors and outdoors.
However, if you want something unique, you may want to consider a custom design. This option may be the best choice if you don’t want a traditional product, although it is usually more expensive and takes longer to make.
