Newly renovated property with awning windows

Awning Windows

Awning windows are hinged at top and can be opened slightly for fresh air and ventilation. Often used in combination with other window types including fixed frame windows, awning hardwood windows deliver an abundance of light and fresh air. Multiple awning hardwood windows arranged in columns or rows create confident, modern designs.

Glazing

Dry Glazing

Specially developed extruded silicone gasket sets the glass by compression. Our proprietary system is long-lived, low maintenance and water resistant.

Wet Glazing

Our special silicone wet glazing compound bonds to the glass for long-lived sealing. Plus, our continuous extruded silicone weatherstrip runs around the frame perimeter and the seal is not compromised by seasonal expansion and contractions of the sash and frame.
