Awning Windows
Top-hinged outward-opening windows you can leave open in light rain. Perfect above sinks, in bathrooms, and as transoms. Built for Canadian and American homes.
Why Choose Awning Windows?
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, so the sash acts like a small canopy. You can leave them open during light rain for continuous fresh air—ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Crank operation makes them easy to use in high or hard-to-reach places, and they take up no interior space. Often used above or beside picture or casement windows, or as transoms over doors.

Engineering & Specifications
VDK Ultra Awning Windows are built to the same high standards—fusion-welded corners, multi-chamber frames, and premium uPVC construction for lasting performance and energy efficiency.
Fusion-Welded Corners
Frame corners are heat-fused into a single, seamless piece — not screwed or glued. This creates an airtight, watertight joint that maintains structural integrity for the life of the window.
Multi-Chamber Frame Design
The frame profile contains multiple hollow chambers that trap air, creating a natural thermal barrier. This design significantly reduces heat transfer through the frame itself.
Premium uPVC Construction
Made from high-quality unplasticized PVC that resists fading, warping, cracking, and rot. Unlike wood, it never needs painting or staining. Unlike aluminum, it won't corrode or conduct cold.
Warm Edge Spacer System
Advanced spacer technology between glass panes reduces condensation at the glass edge and improves overall thermal performance, keeping the interior glass surface warmer in winter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, so the sash acts like a small canopy. You can leave them open during light rain for fresh air. They are operated by a crank, take up no interior space when open, and are ideal for bathrooms, kitchens (especially above sinks), basements, and as transoms above doors or beside picture and casement windows.
Yes. Because they open from the bottom with the sash above, awning windows can stay open in light rain while still allowing airflow. They are often paired with picture or casement windows to add flexible ventilation without sacrificing views. Crank operation also makes them easy to use in high or hard-to-reach places.
Awning windows work well above kitchen sinks and in bathrooms where humidity and odors need to escape; above or beside entry and patio doors as transoms; in basements and lower levels for high placement with privacy; and in combination with fixed picture windows for light and ventilation in one unit.
