Impact awning windows are similar to impact casement windows in that both designs use a crank to open and close. They are also hinged and open outward, but they differ in where they’re hinged. Casement windows are hinged on either the left or the right, while awning windows have a hinge at the top.
Awnings don’t have as many lite configurations as casement windows. Casement windows typically have between one and five lite configurations. Awning windows are only available with one to three configurations.
Since impact awning windows are hinged at the top and swing outward, you can open up the window when it’s raining, allowing you to enjoy fresh air even during a storm. Plus, they typically have screens to keep leaves and debris outside.
While impact-resistant awning windows can be used anywhere, they’re often placed in the basement since they crank outwards. You can also place awnings high in a wall, such as over the kitchen sink or even in the bathroom. They can be paired with other windows, especially non-operable ones like picture windows.

Before any work begins, our team conducts a thorough assessment of your home or commercial property. We carefully examine your existing windows, take precise measurements, and identify any structural concerns that may need attention. This stage ensures that we tailor your replacement windows to fit perfectly and perform optimally. We also discuss aesthetic preferences, building codes, and energy efficiency goals to guarantee your new windows align with both functional and stylistic requirements. Our preparation phase sets the foundation for a seamless, customized installation.
Once your windows are custom-ordered and ready for installation, our professional team arrives on-site fully equipped. We protect your home by covering furniture, flooring, and surrounding areas with drop cloths and protective materials to minimize dust and debris. Each work zone is clearly marked, and safety is a top priority throughout the process. Our installers verify window specifications one last time before beginning, ensuring accuracy and readiness for a smooth transition. The installation setup is about creating a clean, efficient, and safe environment for the work ahead.
With all preparations complete, our experienced technicians begin the precise removal of your old windows, taking care not to damage any surrounding trim or structure. We then fit your new hurricane impact windows into place using industry-best tools, hardware, and sealing techniques to ensure maximum performance. Our team double-checks all alignments, insulation, and fasteners to secure a weather-tight and energy-efficient fit. We take pride in zero-defect workmanship, so every step is completed with meticulous attention to detail.
After installation, we perform a full inspection to confirm the new windows meet our strict standards for quality and function. We clean the glass, remove all debris from the workspace, and reinstall any necessary trim or finishes to restore the appearance of your space. Our team walks you through the operation and care of your new windows and answers any questions you may have.
