Where Should I Put My Awning Windows?
The Top Places to Install Awning Windows include;
The Bedroom: Bedrooms are the perfect place to install awning windows. These usually small rooms often have an overhead light source and are only used at night. Since the room isn’t being used much during the day, you want to take advantage of natural sunlight as much as possible.
The Kitchen: Many kitchens have windows that look out over a backyard or patio. These spaces often provide the perfect spot for awning windows, since these spaces tend to get lots of sunlight both during the day and after the sun goes down.
The Basement: Basements tend to be dark, damp spaces. This often poses a problem for homeowners who want to turn their basements into usable rooms during the day. This is where you need awning windows if you are working on creating usable spaces that function well during the day.
The Living Room: The living room is one of the best places to install an awning window. Many living rooms simply have a wall of windows that serve as a visual barrier, without any ventilation.
The Bathroom: Many bathrooms are also perfect spaces to install awning windows. These rooms often lack natural light, but they do have plenty of sunlight during the day.]
Awning windows can help provide natural light and ventilation which will go a long way in making these spaces more functional and pleasing.
Other areas:
- The easiest and most obvious place to install awning windows is on the window wall. This can be done in several ways, from using full-length frames that are mounted at the top of the window frame, to using half-length frames that are mounted at the top of the sash.
- Awning windows can also be installed on a sloped wall or on an angled wall. The image below demonstrates how this works.
- Awning windows can also be installed on a corner or in an end-wall location as long as they are positioned so as not to intrude upon natural light and ventilation
- Awning windows can also be installed on the ceiling. In this case, they would be installed at the top of a wall with a simulated ceiling.
- Awning windows can be installed in an unusual location by temporarily mounting them on a wall or ceiling with brackets or plates and then removing them when the final installation is completed.
