Awning Windows
The Best Awning Windows On Long Island
Superior Awning Windows
Awning windows are very similar to the casement windows, but not as popular. Instead of cranking outwards vertically, like the casements, these crank out horizontally. However, the most important difference is how far out they open. The awning windows we install open 45° from the frame. This means that it will only open 6-12 inches from the frame. There are larger windows that can open farther, but this is the general metric. The benefit is that you can open awning windows in the rain. Water can’t get in due to the angle, so you can feel the fresh air and hear the rain.
Where To Use Them
Since these windows tend to be smaller and open less, there’s a few common areas for them. The general trend is for higher-up areas on the wall. This typically means bathrooms, showers, basements, and kitchens. Due to the small size and ease of operation from inside, awning windows are great for privacy.

Windows That Will Last A Lifetime
Awning windows are very unique and situational windows. They’re great for keeping out intruders due to the fact that there’s no hardware outside, and that they’re small. If you’re looking for a window for your bathroom or shower that offers total privacy, we’d recommend an awning window. The window is super easy to use, and is one of the few that only opens several inches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Windows
Are Awning Windows Expensive?
Despite being situational windows, no. Awning windows are relatively inexpensive. The reason is that they’re normally smaller in size. There are many modern awning windows that may be more expensive, but typically they are cheaper than others.
What Is The Difference Between Awning and Casement Windows?
The primary two differences is the opening direction and size. Casement windows open vertically (like a door), whereas awning windows open horizontally. Awning windows are typically much smaller as well, and put high up on the wall. Casement windows are larger and lower on the wall, and allow for more ventilation.
Are Awning Windows Secure?
These are some of the more secure windows due to two main reasons. Reason one is that they are smaller in size. It’s highly unlikely someone could break in through these windows, even at a 90° angle. The second is that they operate from the inside, and there isn’t hardware outside for a possible intruder to manipulate.
