Awning Window Quote

If you need awning windows in Canmore, you are probably looking for ventilation that does not compromise large view glass. Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward and downward, creating a small sloped overhang that sheds rain and light snow. That means you can crack them open in shoulder-season weather without water running down the interior wall. They share the compression-seal mechanism of casement windows, so most awnings hit Energy Star Most Efficient U-factors below 0.20 when configured with triple-pane low-E argon glazing.

Awning Window FAQs

Can awning windows stay open in the rain?add
Yes. Awning windows hinge at the top and open outward and downward, which creates a sloped overhang that sheds rain or light snow. They can be left open during all but the heaviest weather.
Where are awning windows commonly used?add
Above kitchen sinks, in bathrooms, paired with picture windows for passive ventilation, and along the top of tall window walls where view glass is the priority and operable sashes are only for venting.
Are awning windows as energy efficient as casements?add
Yes. Awnings use the same compression seal mechanism as casements and many models appear on the Energy Star Most Efficient list with U-factors below 0.20.
