Awning Windows for Improved Ventilation
Awning windows are similar to casement windows in that they swing open on a hinge. Unlike casement windows, which are hinged on the side, awning replacement windows are hinged at the top. They are frequently installed in hard-to-reach areas such as above the kitchen sink, or above a fixed unit like a picture window.
Features & Benefits of Our Awning Windows
- Refreshing Ventilation Even on Rainy Days: Awning windows swing open from the top, allowing you to angle the window however you like to control the amount of airflow coming into your home. Because they are hinged at the top, they create a sort of “shield” when open, which means you can keep them open on rainy days without worrying about moisture entering your home.
- Convenient Operation: Awning replacement windows are conveniently operated using a crank. This makes them a great choice for places that are hard to reach, such as above the sink, a counter or even another window.
- Can Be Paired With Other Windows: Fixed window styles like picture and specialty windows provide stunning panoramic views of the outside, but they don’t ventilate. You can enhance the view while also giving your living space much-needed ventilation by hiring a trusted window company to install an awning window under any fixed window in your home.
- Fibrex® Frames: All our windows are built with our exclusive composite frame material, Fibrex®. This innovative material combines the best qualities of vinyl and wood without the weaknesses, resulting in windows that deliver unparalleled durability, energy efficiency and longevity, while also being very easy to maintain.

Renewal by Andersen® introduces the next generation of low-maintenance, energy efficient glass with High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™, furthering the Andersen® advantage.
Easier Cleaning and Fewer Water Spots
Andersen® High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass employs a revolutionary titanium dioxide (TiO²) exterior coating, making it easier to clean. Upon activation, sunlight loosens any dirt adhered to the surface which can then be washed off by natural rain water. The coating also enables the glass to dry more quickly with as much as 99% fewer water spots. *
Increased Thermal Protection
Our Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass features an airtight seal, impervious to the entry of outside air around the panes, for maximum insulation from heat and sound transfer. In addition, the panes are optimally separated with a patented low conductivity spacer and filled with a blend of argon gas to further reduce thermal transfer. These features make High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass 70% more efficient than ordinary dual-pane glass in the summer and 45% more efficient than its counterpart during the winter. This can cut your energy spending by up to 25% depending on where you live. **
**A study comparing Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass to ordinary dual pane glass revealed a 25% savings on cooling bills and 10% savings on heating in identical homes. Savings may vary.
Keeps UV Rays Outside
High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass works much like sun block lotion to reflect ultraviolet (UV) rays that can fade fabric coloration and damage furniture. Ordinary dual-pane glass lets as much as 63% of UV rays enter the room. High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass is comprised of 11 microscopic layered coatings that cut UV transmission down to just 5%, while retaining the clarity or color of the light that enters your house.
Reduces Sound Penetration
Sound penetration is also significantly reduced when compared to single and double pane glass of other makers.
Standard Feature
Every single Renewal by Andersen of Central NC® window selection comes standard with our Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass, and the technology is exclusive to Andersen® windows and doors.
*On exterior surface when activated by sunlight.
