Available in both double and triple glaze.

Awning Windows

Awning windows are top-hinged operable units designed for controlled ventilation, weather protection, and flexible placement. Opening outward from the bottom, they allow airflow even during rain while maintaining a tight seal when closed. Awning windows are commonly used in bathrooms, basements, and high wall applications, and pair well with fixed windows in multi-unit configurations.

Available in double or triple glazing, Window Force awning windows are engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and consistent performance in demanding climates.
