Awning Windows Defined
Like casement windows, awning windows open outward with a user-friendly folding handle to enable ventilation. The difference with awning windows is they are hinged at the top of the frame and swing outward from the bottom, making them an excellent window choice for homeowners who desire additional airflow while protecting their home’s interior from the exterior elements.
Best Applications
- Excellent window choice for rooms requiring additional privacy, such as bathrooms
- Perfect for protection from rainy climates
- Great window style for small and hard-to-reach spaces, like those above sinks
- Excellent for areas requiring year-round ventilation
- Great style choice to use in combination with non-operable windows, such as picture windows
- For homeowners working on a tight budget
Awning Window Maintenance Tips
Although your new awning window replacements will last a very long time without any maintenance, proper care will help you extend the life of your windows and keep your home comfortable and energy efficient for years to come. Here are some tips to keep your awning windows, and all other windows, in top shape:
-
Clean the windows often: Regularly cleaning your windows and frames can help prevent the buildup of dirt, debris, and mold.
-
Inspect hardware: Check your windows’ hinges, locks, and handles periodically to ensure they’re well-lubricated and in good working order.
-
Inspect caulking: After a couple of years, inspect the weatherstripping, caulk, and sealant annually and reseal if necessary.
-
Double-check locks: Over time, test the locks on your windows to ensure they’re in good working order and secure.
-
Replace weatherstripping: After a few years, check weatherstripping for signs of tearing, cracking, or peeling and replace it as needed to ensure an air-tight seal.

Milgard C700 Series
Fiberglass Awning Windows
Milgard C700 Series Fiberglass Awning Windows
The Milgard C700 Series awning window delivers the strength and efficiency of fiberglass in a versatile venting design. Fiberglass is one of the most durable window frame materials available, made primarily from silica sand and engineered to expand and contract at nearly the same rate as glass. This helps maintain tight seals, reduce drafts, and limit long-term wear on caulking. With a slim modern profile, expanded color options, and improved energy performance, the C700 awning window is a premium replacement choice designed for the demands of Pacific Northwest homes.
Key Features
Durability designed for the long haul. Fiberglass frames are built to handle decades of Pacific Northwest weather, resisting swelling, rot, and warping even through constant rain and shifting temperatures. Once installed, they require very little maintenance to keep performing well.
Strong energy efficiency from day one. Every C700 window is equipped with Milgard SunCoat® Low-E2 glass and provides up to 10% better thermal performance than the previous generation, helping keep indoor temperatures more stable and energy use lower.
Quieter interiors when you need it. Laminated glass options are available to help reduce exterior noise. Homes near highways, flight paths, or active streets can enjoy a noticeably calmer indoor environment.
A design that fits many home styles. With six frame color choices, coordinated hardware finishes, and a clean modern frame shape, the C700 works well with everything from classic Craftsman architecture to modern homes.
An Energy Star package tailored to the Seattle region for optimal energy efficiency.

Awning Window FAQs
What is the difference between casement and awning windows?
Casement windows are hinged on the side and swing outward like a door, while awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. Both use a crank mechanism, but awning windows provide better rain protection when open.
How safe are awning windows?
Awning windows are very safe. Their design makes them difficult to break into from the outside, and they feature multi-point locking systems for added security. Their smaller size also limits access compared to larger window styles.
How far out do awning windows open?
Most awning windows open to about a 45-degree angle, providing ample ventilation while maintaining structural integrity. Some models may open wider depending on the manufacturer and hardware configuration.
Are there any disadvantages of awning windows?
Awning windows project outward when open, which can be an issue near walkways or patios. They also tend to be smaller than other window styles, limiting their use as primary windows in large openings. Regular maintenance of the crank mechanism is important for long-term performance.
Aren’t awning windows a bad idea in Seattle?
Actually, awning windows are an excellent choice for Seattle! Since they hinge at the top and open outward from the bottom, they create a natural awning that deflects rain while still allowing fresh air into your home. You can ventilate your space even during a light rain without worrying about water getting inside.
