Awning Windows
Enjoy Unparalleled Style, Enhanced Ventilation, and Effortless Operation for Your Home’s Comfort and Convenience.
Efficiency Meets Versatility
An awning window is a type of window that is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom, resembling the shape of an awning when fully opened. This unique design allows the window to pivot outward, creating a canopy-like effect that shields the interior from rain while still providing ventilation. Awning windows are typically operated with a crank mechanism, making them easy to open and close. They are often installed higher on walls or above other windows to maximize natural light and airflow while maintaining privacy. Due to their functional design, awning windows are popular choices for areas with varying weather conditions, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, where ventilation is essential but protection from the elements is also desired.

Energy Efficient Vinyl Windows
What Makes Our Windows Stand Out
Our vinyl windows are engineered with a high number of internal air chambers, strategically designed to trap air and create a barrier against heat transfer. This innovative construction provides superior insulation, keeping your home comfortable in any season while significantly reducing energy costs. With enhanced thermal efficiency, you can enjoy a more energy-efficient home and greater savings on heating and cooling expenses throughout the year.
The multiple internal air chambers in our vinyl windows not only contribute to superior insulation but also enhance the overall sturdiness of the window frames. This robust construction ensures long-lasting durability and structural integrity, providing peace of mind for years to come. Additionally, the inherent density of the vinyl material and the precision engineering of our windows offer excellent sound abatement properties, minimizing outside noise and creating a quieter, more serene indoor environment.
We prioritize convenience and durability in our window design, which is why we use maintenance-free PVC jamb extensions, corner blocks, and frame moldings. These PVC components offer added flexibility for interior finishing while requiring minimal upkeep. With their resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage, our PVC components ensure that your windows maintain their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity with minimal maintenance, saving you time and effort in the long run.
Our vinyl windows feature fusion-welded corners, a construction technique that enhances both the appearance and performance of the window frames. By fusing the vinyl profiles together at the corners, we eliminate the need for sealants and adhesives, creating a seamless and airtight bond that prevents air and water infiltration. This flawless surface is entirely airtight and watertight, providing maximum protection against drafts, moisture, and outdoor elements while enhancing the overall aesthetics of your windows.
We understand that every home is unique, which is why we offer a wide range of glazing options to suit your specific needs and preferences. Choose from single, double, and triple glazing options, each providing varying levels of insulation and energy efficiency. Additionally, our Low-E glazing options are designed to minimize heat transfer and UV radiation, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and protect your furnishings from sun damage. For those seeking decorative enhancements, we offer a variety of decorative glazing options with thicknesses ranging from 3/4” to 1-1/8”, allowing you to customize the look of your windows to complement your home’s style and architecture.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the quality and performance of our windows, which meet industry-leading standards such as AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-08 & A440SI-09 CSA A440.2-09. These certifications attest to the superior craftsmanship, durability, and performance of our windows, providing you with confidence and peace of mind knowing that your investment is backed by stringent quality standards and industry certifications.
