WHAT ARE AWNING WINDOWS?

Set on a vertical hinge, normally at the top, these windows are a type of casement, that opens up to the outside and are very common above sinks, especially in kitchens. But they will also benefit you during snowstorms — which average over 3 feet in Wisconsin —  because their strong seal keeps the cold air and snow out of your home.

WHY CHOOSE AWNING WINDOWS?

Awning windows are often used as double windows set next to each other, and you can use a hand crank to open them up and down. This includes Pella’s locking system, which pulls the window sash up and in, fastening it tightly against the weatherstripping to create a seal. They also have a double sash.

These windows will provide a clear view of the outside and protection from the rains and storms, even when open, giving your home more airflow during inclement weather. The ease of use by simply turning a hand crank makes them easy to adjust as the day warms or cools.

“Jake came out and gave us a consultation, explained the different options we had for windows. Our home has been around since the late 1800s and we definitely needed new windows! The crew showed up on time, and killed it! They were very professional, courteous of our home, clean and just did a great job! We went for a modern black fiberglass window with a big grid… and I am in LOVE!”

“Fantastic experience working with Pella, we’re so happy with how our windows turned out! I worked with Matt from the start and it was an easy process (not the cheesy strung-out sales pitches like most companies) with good communication. We got all new good work and changed some window designs, which was a big project for the size of our windows. The crew who installed them did an impeccable job and were very fast.”

“Tim did a fantastic job. He was very  honest and knowledgeable and asked what we wanted and what our goals were for the windows and the house. No upselling and he was not pushy at all. I  felt like we got a great quality product at a great price. I also feel really good about their install process which a lot of other companies do not talk about. We definitely will be calling Tim when we need more windows at this house or the next.”
