Window dilemma – how to add the maximum light and ventilation in a tight space. Solution? Awning windows. Window Outfitters, Inc., THE replacement window company in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, offers awning windows as well as a wide variety of other window styles – just the right solution for every window dilemma.
What makes awning windows the right choice in this situation? Unlike sliding windows and double-hungs, awning windows don’t require extra space to slide open a window sash. And because they crank up and out, they can direct airflow down and through the window opening. Lastly, because the entire window surface area opens, you get the maximum light and ventilation available.
Awning windows are often used in garages because they are on average less expensive than other window types. But the most common and appropriate use of awning windows is in basements and lower level areas where there is limited space between the ceiling of the lower room and the outside ground level. Small sliding windows might also work in this situation, but you’ll only air flowing through half the window opening. If ventilation is your main concern, awning windows are the best solution.
Consider some of the other possibilities for awning windows like in a bathroom where you need air and light but want to retain privacy. Awning windows placed up high such as above a tub wall or over a toilet can provide light and ventilation without exposing the room to view. Like casements, awning windows are also highly energy-efficient since the entire window panel closes tight against the frame. Awnings and casements are the best window choices if eliminating drafts is a major concern.
