When shopping for new windows with which to give your Minnesota home a facelift, one of the most unique and easy to use styles out there is the awning window. These windows extend out from the exterior wall instead of sliding up and down, because they open with the aid of a top mounted hinge. This unique property is only one of many that these types of windows have to offer.
Versatility
With more and more advances in technology being made, awning windows are now available in more styles now than ever before. In addition to their unique look, they can also be put higher in the wall than other windows, which opens your ideas for structural design to a whole new world.
Protection Against Weather
One of the nicest things about awning windows is that they can stay open during rain storms and still protect your home from excess moisture. Since it tilts out from the top, precipitation still hits the glass instead of getting into the room. This way, you can enjoy the wonderfully cooling scent of the storm without worry of water damage.
Privacy
Another advantage to installing new awning windows higher in the wall is added privacy. It’s harder for folks outside to see what’s going on inside, which makes this style a great option for floor levels and bathrooms.
Contemporary Feel
The wide variety of styles available in awning windows also work wonders if you want to give your home a sleeker, more modern look. The unique design stands out when compared to the range of other types of windows to choose from.
As you shop for windows and think about how you’d like your home to look, give awning windows some serious thought before making a final decision.
