A Popular Choice for First-Floor Bathrooms & Basements
If you’re looking to add light and ventilation to first-floor bathrooms or basements, consider installing awning windows. Nothing is worse than small, dark, stuffy rooms in a house. These unique windows allow even the spaces below your home to embrace the sunlight and gentle breezes. But are awning windows the right choice over hopper windows or casement windows? This page lays out all the pros and cons of awning window installation and replacement so you can make the best decision for your home.

What Are Awning Windows?
Hinged at the top, awning windows open out from the bottom to save space. You will typically see awning windows installed much higher up on basement walls and first-floor bathrooms, providing light in dark spaces and privacy, respectively. Awning windows are different than casement windows because casements are hinged at the side, open inward, are crank-operated, and come in larger sizes that wouldn’t be appropriate for basements or private rooms.
Hopper windows, while very similar, are hinged at the bottom and open outward. These are also a good option for basements and first-floor bathrooms; however, these windows have a tendency to trap rainwater due to their V-shaped opening and can cause unwanted water to gather indoors.
Awning Windows Pros & Cons
There are plenty of benefits to having an awning window installed in your home. Because they open outward at the bottom, they save space indoors while allowing light and ventilation into the home. Awning windows can also be left open in inclement weather because their design allows water to run down and away from sashes, leaving the inside of your home dry. Due to their small size and latching system, these windows offer more security to homeowners at an affordable price.
Be aware that awning windows require unobstructed outdoor space in order to function properly. Depending on your home’s walkways and space limitations, you may want to consider other options if awning installation will impede on outdoor comfort. Additionally, these windows require more frequent cleaning.
