− | + | Awning replacement windows are used by many homeowners to increase a room's ventilation. They are often used in conjunction with other window styles. Awning windows are often placed over sinks and in high areas because their opening mechanism is located on the bottom panel of the window frame. This mechanism is easily accessible in situations where it would be more complicated to open or close the window from its side or middle due to its height or its location being blocked by other furnishing. | |

− | + | There are replacement awning windows on the market made with many different types of materials. Less-expensive windows include those made with aluminum, vinyl and steel. Aluminum windows are sturdy windows which require little maintenance but do not insulate well, especially against the cold. Vinyl windows are good insulating windows and competitively priced but homeowners cannot always find the vinyl windows with the colors that they prefer. Steel windows are a durable and affordable choice but many customers find that the same concern that they have with aluminum windows -- lack of insulation -- is also a problem with steel windows. | |
Additional replacement awning window options include wood windows which can rot if not repainted frequently. Quality window manufacturers have developed an aluminum cladding which protects wood-frame windows and is, itself, insulated. A special thermal break material is inserted between the pane and the frame which further insulates the windows. These claddings come in many different colors, providing a replacement window exterior that matches the construction of any house. | Additional replacement awning window options include wood windows which can rot if not repainted frequently.
