Mannlee’s awning windows offer a great way to allow fresh air into your house. These windows have hinges at the top and swing outward. When open, they offer shade and keep out rain. Our awning windows are available in a number of shapes, sizes, and material options to suit all home interiors. The windows are simple to set up and use. With durable construction, our awning windows offer great airflow and last for many years. Provide your rooms with fresh air with these custom awning windows.
The main disadvantage of an awning window is that when opened, rain and falling leaves can easily blow inside. Additionally, these windows only allow partial views and light since the maximum opening capability is limited with the hinged design.
Awning windows tilt open outwards from the bottom when operated. For wider views and more secure ventilation, one may want to opt for casement or double-hung window alternatives instead.
This type of window gets its name from bearing similarity to canvas awnings used for shading commercial storefronts. On residential homes specifically, what identifies the awning style is its unique hinge system at the top, allowing the window sash to tilt outward from the bottom when opened. Awning windows will frequently have cranks for easy operation of these vertically oriented “awnings”.
Retractable canvas window awnings became less popular following the rise of residential air conditioning systems. However, exterior solar shades are now making a comeback as people aim to cut cooling costs and reduce bright glare.
New automated awnings deploy smoothly, may incorporate LED lighting, and feature metal frames that add aesthetic curb appeal. More homeowners are installing modernized coverings for improved functionality and charm.
The unique hinge and sash configuration of the awning window serves specific air circulation needs. By tilting open outwards from the bottom rather than lifting up, awning windows create convection air currents that allow hot air and gases to escape from a home while preventing exterior noise and rain from entering. This makes them well-suited for basement, bathroom, and kitchen ventilation.
For exterior shading that adapts to changing sun conditions, retractable pergola covers are superior to fixed frame canvas awnings. Pergolas feature adjustable louvers that filter sunlight smoothly to maintain comfort unlike plain awnings. Motorized aluminum pergola slats can transition from an open, airy feel to a sheltered, room-like space by tilting to block chill breezes or intense sunlight.
Casement windows that crank open gently outward serve as a better-ventilated alternative compared to awning windows. Hinged on the side, casements can open fully to maximize air circulation and natural light entry unlike cramped, top-hinged awnings.
Available up to 5 feet wide, casements also provide fuller views while still locking securely when shut. French casement style with two side-by-side sashed maximizes openings.
