Did you know that the position of a window opening is just as important as the location? Awning windows are one of the most efficient window options for your home, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms where there can be a build-up of moisture. Awning windows provide enhanced airflow, eliminating condensation when open and an airtight and waterproof seal when closed. They are also ideal for areas that get a lot of rain and wind as the 45-degree angle provides added protection. Due to their narrow design, awning windows are also a great choice to enhance security and prevent break-ins.

Do not use awning windows in spaces where the window may be a fire escape as they do not offer a lot of space to crawl through.
