Awning Windows

1. 1. Top-Hinged Design:
      • Awning windows are hinged at the top of the frame and open outward from the bottom. This unique design creates a sloping effect that provides protection from rain.

1. 1. Crank or Lever Operation:
      • Most awning windows are operated using a crank handle or a lever. This mechanism makes it easy to open and close the window, even when it is installed in higher or hard-to-reach places.
   2. 
      Weather Protection:
      • When opened, the sash of an awning window acts as a shield, diverting rainwater away from the opening. This makes awning windows ideal for use during inclement weather.

Unobstructed Views:

• • Similar to casement windows, awning windows do not have muntins (the strips that divide the panes of glass) or bars across the glass, allowing for clear, unobstructed views.
