Awning windows are designed to pivot at the top and typically feature an outward-swinging sash, although some models may have an inward-swinging option. The most common configuration is the outward-swinging sash.

These windows are usually operated with a roto-gear or a push-out lever, allowing you to adjust the opening to maximize fresh air intake while keeping rain out. One of the notable advantages of awning windows is their ability to provide up to 50% ventilation area, although it’s important to note that the hardware prevents them from fully opening.
