Description
Fixed Awning Window Features
Our fixed awning windows combine structural stability with permanent shading solutions, engineered for spaces requiring consistent light control and weather protection. Featuring reinforced aluminum or vinyl frames (1.8mm gauge, ASTM B221 compliant), these units deliver:
Permanent angled design – 15° downward slope blocks 78% solar heat gain (SHGC 0.22)
Seamless integration – Custom CNC-cut frames adapt to arched/rectangular openings (12″-96″ spans)
Thermal break technology – Polyamide insulation bars reduce condensation risk by 65%
Technical specifications include:
Impact-resistant glazing – 5mm tempered glass withstands 90mph winds (ASTM E330 certified).
Zero-maintenance operation – Fixed design eliminates moving parts for 25+ year lifespan.
UV-stable finishes – 50+ powder-coated colors retain vibrancy under 4500kWh/m² annual UV exposure.
Benefits of Fixed Awning Windows
1. Climate-Adaptive Performance
Year-round shading – Reduces cooling costs by 18-22% in sunbelt regions
Glare reduction – Micro-textured glass surface diffuses 63% direct sunlight
2. Architectural Versatility
Style continuity – Compatible with Craftsman, Mediterranean, and modern minimalist homes
Mixed configurations – Pair with casement windows below for hybrid ventilation
3. Enhanced Security
Burglar-resistant – 3-point steel reinforcement meets ANSI/WDMA I.S. 11 standards
Shatterproof design – Laminated interlayer holds glass fragments if impacted
4. Energy Efficiency
Insulated glass options – Double/triple glazing achieves U-factors as low as 0.28
Air infiltration <0.2 CFM – Compression gaskets exceed ENERGY STAR® requirements
5. Low-Profile Aesthetics
Slim 2.5″ frame depth – Maintains clean exterior lines vs traditional 5″ projection awnings
Historic compliance – Replicated Victorian-era profiles meet National Register standards
