Awning Windows

Looking for a window that provides both privacy and ventilation, even when it’s raining? Awning windows offer a practical, stylish solution that works well in a variety of rooms and layouts. With their top-hinged design and outward swing, they allow airflow while shielding your interior from the elements.

At North Country Windows & Baths, we install high-quality awning windows from MI Windows and Doors, designed for performance, efficiency, and durability. Whether you’re replacing a small bathroom window or adding airflow to your basement, we’ll help you find the right fit for your home in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, Sioux City, or the surrounding areas.

What Are Awning Windows?

Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom using a crank handle. This unique design allows for ventilation in various weather conditions, without letting in rain or debris. They’re typically wider than they are tall and often installed in spaces where traditional windows won’t work as well.

They can be used on their own or paired with other window styles, such as picture windows or casement windows, for added light and airflow.
