Awning windows are well suited for openings in which the width is greater than the height. Hinged at the top, awning windows open effortlessly outwards from the bottom with a crank and are easily secured with multi-latch locks on the sides.
Awning windows can be installed above, below or beside other types of windows or over entrance and patio doors. On their own, awning windows can be positioned higher on walls to provide great ventilation. Removable screens are affixed to the inside of the window, making it easy to remove from inside the home. Awning windows are an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms.

When it comes to windows, much of their energy-saving performance starts with the quality of the glass. While factors like framing materials, insulation, and installation also play important roles, the glass itself has a significant impact on overall efficiency. That’s why it’s essential to pay close attention to the glass details when comparing quotes.
Lower-cost glass options may reduce the initial price, but they can lead to higher energy bills over time and may cause other issues down the road.
Together, these elements play a major role in a window’s energy efficiency and overall Energy Star Performance Rating (ER). For more information on window energy efficiency options, tips and insights, check out our Window Energy Efficiency articles.
The table below provides an example of how different glass options compare in terms of energy efficiency. There are so many glass options available.
