Why choose Awning or Casement Windows?
Awning windows are tailor-made for New Zealand’s changeable weather – they push out from the bottom and thus can be left open and still provide some rain protection. They can be used in most positions but are not recommended where windows open on to a deck or walkway due to their projecting nature.
Casement windows are side opening to catch the breeze and direct air inwards. Like awning windows they can be used in most positions but are not recommended where windows open on to pedestrian areas. French casements can be provided with no centre post to obscure the view when open.
- Awning windows push out from the bottom allowing fresh air but block rain
- Casement windows a side hung an offer directional airflow
- They are can be combined with other window and door formats in a variety of configurations
- The windows have the option of passive vented handles
Awning Windows
Awnings are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, creating a small canopy effect. That makes them great for retaining airflow, even during rainy weather. They work particularly well in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens. Generally they offer a great fit for anywhere you want ventilation without losing privacy.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged on the side and open outwards, much like a door. They’re perfect for bringing in fresh air and framing outdoor views, especially in bedrooms or living spaces. Their wide opening makes them easy to clean and perfect for catching the breeze, whether your home’s modern or more traditional in style.
Awning & Casement FAQs
What is the difference between awning and casement windows?
Can I use a mix of awnings and casements in the same house?
Are awnings or casement windows better for airflow?
Do awning or casement windows work better in high wind areas?
Awning windows can be an ideal choice for windy spots. This is because they open at the bottom and can be kept slightly open without rattling or catching too much wind. Casement windows also perform well. However, they may need to be fully closed in strong gusts, depending on their size and position.
