Features / Details
Maximum Energy Efficiency
Considered the best-sealing, most energy-efficient operable window style available. We pair this inherent design with specific glass options tailored to the regional Central Illinois, Greater Des Moines and Quad Cities climate for maximum thermal performance.
Design Flexibility
The adaptable, horizontally oriented design allows awning windows to be seamlessly integrated into a variety of spaces, fitting both wide and narrow wall openings.
Enhanced Security
When installed at ground level, the design's outward opening mechanism and robust locking system create a natural barrier, making exterior access virtually impossible and offering greater safety for your home.
Distinctive Aesthetic Appeal
The clean, classic lines provide a timeless, hand-crafted look that serves as an attractive architectural element, adding visual depth and character to your facade.
Quiet Performance
Built with high-quality, concealed stainless steel hinges that are engineered to eliminate rattling and vibration, ensuring exceptionally smooth and silent operation.
Simple Cleaning
All parts of the window glass can be safely and easily accessed and cleaned from the inside of your home, which is especially useful when the unit is placed in hard-to-reach locations.
