AWNING REPLACEMENT
Awning windows hinge from the top and open with an operator arm on the bottom. Andersen offers awning windows in several different configurations throughout their full-line of windows. Unique to the awning is the ability to shed rain with the window cracked. Because of the positioning of glass, awning windows are common as higher windows in mid-century modern homes as well as in picture-awning window combinations in many living rooms throughout the Twin Cities. Catch a breeze with an awning window or simply add viewing above your sink with Andersen awning replacement windows.

AWNING WINDOW BENEFITS
A WHOLE NEW KIND OF WINDOW WITH GREAT PLAINS
Good Ventilation – Awning windows can be placed higher in walls than many other types of windows. When placed high, awning windows can provide natural light and ventilation, without compromising privacy. High placement also allows for maximum wall space for design aspects such as art and furniture placement.
Privacy – Because awning windows can be placed higher on walls, they can allow for a degree of privacy without requiring window shades.
Beautiful views – finally open up your view from kitchen sink with obtruded glass.
Weather-tight construction, good choice in damp climates – Awning windows can protect your home against moisture, even when they’re open during a rainstorm. Because of the way awning windows hinge from the top, they allow for nearly 100 percent of viable ventilation, without the threat of water seeping into the home. Awning windows also offer a superior seal against air pass through.
Attractive, contemporary look. A clean look of a casement without the full-time concern about water intrusion. Awning windows also offer a full-viewing.
