Awning Windows

Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, like a small awning. That lets you leave them open for fresh air even when it’s raining, which makes them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and spots high on a wall.

How They Work

Hinged at the Top, Open in the Rain

An awning window opens with a crank or push handle, swinging outward from the bottom edge. The open sash acts like a little roof, so light rain runs off instead of coming in.

Like casements, awnings close against weatherstripping on all four sides, so they seal tightly. They’re often combined with a picture window above or below them for light plus ventilation.
