With a crank operation, the awning windows open outward. Like casement windows, they are hinged from the top rather than the side. Awning windows are a perfect choice for letting air flow in because of the way they open. They are also an ideal option to let in natural light and ventilation while maintaining privacy — particularly when mounted higher on the wall.
Awning windows are popularly used in combination with other windows to increase visual variety and ventilation above or below a stationary window. They also appear attractively in areas that are hard to reach like above a kitchen sink, or even above a door as an operable alternative to a transom window. Awning windows are also perfect for rooms that require privacy like a bedroom or bathroom that can be enhanced with natural light inside.
