Awning
Windows
One of the most efficient operating windows, awning windows are hinged at the top and swing open at the bottom to provide ventilation – even when it’s raining out! We often see awning windows used in bathrooms, over the kitchen sink and above or below a picture window.
Awning windows trace their origins back to medieval Europe, where hinged wooden shutters were used to allow air flow while keeping out rain. These early versions evolved with the introduction of glass panes in the 17th century, enhancing their functionality. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the design had progressed significantly, becoming popular in residential architecture for their superior ventilation and protection from the elements. The modern awning window, typically hinged at the top and opening outward, combines traditional concepts with contemporary materials and technology, making it a versatile choice for both aesthetic and practical applications in buildings.
