Awning Windows for Saskatchewan Homes

Imagine being able to leave your windows open for fresh air during a summer rainstorm without worrying about water ruining your floors. That is the genius of the awning window. Hinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom with a smooth hand crank, an awning window acts like a protective glass roof over the opening.

Sask Windows & Doors installs premium vinyl awning windows that offer this incredible ventilation flexibility while maintaining an airtight, highly insulated seal against the brutal Saskatchewan winter cold.

Awning windows share the same incredible energy efficiency as casement windows. When you crank the window closed and lock it, the multi-point locking system pulls the entire sash tightly against the frame's weatherstripping on all four sides. This creates a compression seal.

When the harsh Prairie winter winds blow against the outside of your house, it pushes the awning window sash even tighter against the frame, reinforcing the seal and completely eliminating drafts. This makes them a vastly superior choice for energy efficiency compared to older sliding or hung windows.

The Perfect Companion Window

While awning windows look great on their own, they are most frequently used as 'companion windows.' We often install a large, fixed picture window to capture a beautiful view, and place a wide awning window directly underneath it. This gives you the massive, unobstructed view of the picture window, combined with the rain-proof ventilation of the awning window at the bottom.

Because awning windows hinge at the top, the frame must be installed perfectly square and plumb. If the frame is twisted even slightly during installation, the heavy glass sash won't close evenly, and the compression seal will fail. Our expert local crews use meticulous shimming and low-expansion spray foam to ensure a flawless, draft-free fit.

Awning windows are incredibly versatile and work beautifully in specific areas of your Saskatchewan home. They are the perfect choice for bathrooms, where you want ventilation and privacy. Placed high on the wall, they let steam escape after a shower while keeping prying eyes out. In kitchens, they are ideal above sinks and counters where a sliding window's center rail would block the view.

In basements, awning windows provide excellent ventilation and natural light while maintaining their weather-deflecting properties. But their most popular application is as a companion window. We frequently install a large, fixed picture window to capture a beautiful view, with a wide awning window placed directly underneath it. This gives you the massive, unobstructed view of the picture window, combined with the rain-proof ventilation of the awning window at the bottom.

Awning windows are a premium window style, similar in price to casement windows due to their complex crank hardware and compression-seal technology. Saskatchewan homeowners typically pay between $800 and $1,500 per awning window installed, depending on size and custom features.
