An awning window opens outward and is hinged at the top, so it creates a canopy over your window. The unobstructed opening it creates when fully extended allows in lots of fresh air and means you can even leave your window open in the rain. Its rectangular shape also allows it to fit nicely in some tricky places. Dig into everything you need to know about picking out an awning window. 

While there’s no wrong answer to where awning windows work best, there are a couple of places where they truly shine. For example, awnings windows can make a showstopping feature in a living or dining room when combined with picture windows to create a large window combination or even a window wall. They are also impactful when placed along the roofline (as clerestory windows), but that doesn’t mean they don’t work well on a smaller scale, too. They can absolutely make a bathroom or bedroom when they’re placed up high on a wall since they let in natural light in while still preserving privacy.
