Awning Windows Replacement for Your Kitchen, Bathroom and Basement
Awning window is a specific kind of window which is hinged from the top and it opens outward, which results in an awning-like effect. They are often used in rooms where it is recommended to maintain ventilation when the window is open in all type of weather, since this window provides excellent protection from outdoor elements as well as noise-reduction.
Awning windows are used where traditional uPVC windows may not be useful, such as over a sink, countertop, or in your building’s basement where a standard window may be too high off the ground. Everest allows you to use Awning Windows in combination with other types, such as fixed or casement windows, to provide a mix of ventilation and natural light.
Awning windows are considered to be one of the top windows with regards to energy efficiency. It performs better than traditional windows because they can be opened to allow for ventilation without letting in as much heat or cold as a traditional window would. Our windows are also very easy to operate, as they can be opened and closed using a single crank handle.
