Old scratched and warped windows distort your view of the outside world and allow
outside air to flow into your home at will; reducing your heating and cooling effectiveness. Replacing those old windows with new awning windows will increase light, decrease air leaks and allow you to view the outside world without distortion.
Offering architectural design and style, many manufacturers of awning windows offer styles that have decorative grids in between the panes of glass (rather than attached to the outside) for ease in cleaning. Another inside the window option would be one of several styles of blinds built right into the panes of glass. Imagine never having to clean your blinds again. Imagine never having to move your blinds while washing your windows. All this is available to you when you decide to install awning windows on your next project.
Further increasing the design flair, you may combine awning windows with other window styles. Picture windows paired with awning windows make an especially attractive design combination. Intended to open from the bottom, awning windows provide ventilation and you do not need to be concerned about light rain coming into your home through the open window and ruining your belongings. Where you choose to place your awning windows depends on the airflow and design of your project. You may choose to position the awning windows either on top, below or beside other windows. Awning windows placed above an outside door adds additional light and ventilation.
Proper planning of window placement will save you time and effort once you begin your window replacement project. Replacing old windows with awning windows for your next DIY project will bring life and style to your home while increasing its value.
