Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom. This window style allows fresh air circulation while helping protect the opening from light rain and debris. Built with durable vinyl construction, these low-maintenance windows provide smooth, easy operation for everyday use.
When closed, the sash compresses evenly against the frame, creating a tighter seal that helps reduce air leaks, limit heat transfer, and support long-term energy-efficient performance — making awning replacement windows a practical choice for Ontario’s changing weather conditions.
Their compact, space-efficient design makes them especially suitable for kitchen windows, bathrooms, basements, and other areas where ventilation plays a crucial role in keeping your home comfortable year-round in Canada.
Awning windows fit well in bathrooms, basements, and above larger fixed windows where vertical space is limited.
When closed, the sash compresses evenly against the frame, supporting consistent air and water resistance over time.
The cost of awning replacement windows depends on size, glass configuration, hardware, and installation type. Options such as triple-pane glass and upgraded locking systems may affect pricing. These high-performance replacement windows are designed to improve ventilation and reduce heat transfer in Canadian climates.
| Window Size / Style | Price Range (Installed) | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Small Awning (standard) | $500-900 | Basements, bathrooms |
| Mid-Size Vinyl Awning | $700-1200 | Kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms |
| Large / Premium | $1200-1800+ | Living areas, paired configurations |
| Custom / High-End Materials | $1600-2400 | Specialty or architectural openings |
Pricing for awning windows depends on window size, glass configuration, installation method, and the type of operating hardware used. Because awning windows open outward and rely on hinges and operators, larger units or triple-pane glass configurations may require reinforced hardware to ensure smooth operation and long-term durability.
Optional upgrades such as custom frame colours, or laminated or tempered glass can also influence the final installation cost.
Two exclusive lines designed for performance, aesthetics, and efficiency.

Learn how TotalSeal™ Technology is engineered specifically for outward-opening awning windows, ensuring structural stability, balanced compression, and long-term performance in Canadian conditions.
The multi-chamber vinyl frame is engineered for structural stability. Reinforced construction helps prevent twisting or sagging under increased glass weight.
Frame geometry is designed to maintain consistent gasket compression along the entire perimeter. This supports uniform air and water resistance over time.
Heavy-duty hinges and precision operators are selected to handle daily use and increased sash weight while preserving smooth operation and durability.
TotalSeal™ Technology is engineered to improve compression balance, structural stability, and long-term sealing performance. In awning windows, this system distributes locking pressure evenly across the sash, helping maintain consistent air and water resistance in Ontario’s changing climate.
Awning windows must support the weight of double- or triple-glazed units while opening from the bottom. The frame and sash are engineered to distribute load evenly, reducing stress on hinges and hardware components over time.
Precision hinges and reinforced operators are selected to handle daily use and increased sash weight while maintaining smooth operation.
Multiple locking points engage the sash along the perimeter, increasing resistance to forced entry while helping pull the sash tightly against the frame for consistent sealing.
Balanced compression and stable frame geometry help minimize air infiltration and support long-term thermal performance across different glazing configurations.
Revolutionary vinyl windows with sleek aluminum aesthetics. Ultra-slim 2 7/8″ profile, advanced multipoint security, and superior energy efficiency for Canadian homes.

Create windows that fit your home perfectly and reflect its unique style. Choose from an extensive array of design, performance, and finishing options to customize the look, comfort, and functionality of your windows.
Energy efficiency and indoor comfort can be enhanced with Low-E coatings and double- or triple-pane glass configurations. These upgrades help reduce heat loss in winter, limit heat gain in summer, and improve insulation. They also help minimize drafts and outside noise, creating a more comfortable living environment year-round while lowering energy costs.
Safety and security can be enhanced with tempered or laminated glass upgrades. Tempered glass is designed to break into small, blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injury if the glass is damaged. Laminated glass remains in place even when cracked, providing additional protection against impact and forced entry. These options add an extra layer of security while maintaining natural light and overall window performance.
Select from between-the-glass grilles for low maintenance, simulated divided lites (SDL) for a classic look, or TruLite premium divided glass for a true architectural pane appearance.
Interior jambs and casing define the finished look of your window from inside the home. Choose between wood and vinyl trim packages to match your interior style and wall construction.
Wood Package: Jamb extensions and a wide selection of casing styles, available in primed wood or stainable solid wood.
Vinyl Package: Vinyl or solid vinyl jamb extensions with Colonial, Flat, or Modern casing profiles, including decorative rosettes.
Exterior trim completes the outside appearance of your window and creates a clean transition between the frame and the surrounding wall.
Brickmould profiles are available in multiple styles to complement brick, siding, or stucco exteriors. Built for durability and long-term weather resistance in Canadian conditions.

Awning window size limitations depend on glazing type, glass thickness, hinge capacity, and structural performance requirements. Because awning windows open outward from the bottom and are supported by hinges and operators, their dimensions must remain within specific limits to ensure smooth operation, proper sealing, and long-term durability. The table below outlines typical minimum and maximum sizes for vinyl awning windows.
| Glass Type | Min. Width | Min. Height | Max. Width | Max. Height | Max Sq. Ft. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double Pane | 14.5" | 14" | 50" | 60" | 17 sq. ft. |

Windows can be installed using different methods depending on existing conditions and project scope.
Brick-to-brick installation entails the complete removal of old windows and frames, including surrounding brickwork, followed by the installation of new windows in freshly created openings. This method offers greater flexibility in window size and placement, allowing for customized designs to suit specific
preferences. However, the process is more labour-intensive and time-consuming, as it involves additional construction work to accommodate the new openings.
Stud-to-stud installation involves removing the existing window, frame, and interior finishes down to the wall studs before installing a new window into the structural opening. It allows installers to properly inspect insulation, moisture protection, and to achieve consistent air sealing around the entire window. In some cases, it may be performed using a split-frame method, where portions of the existing frame are removed to provide structural access while minimizing interior disruption.
Retrofit installation involves fitting new windows into the existing window frames without altering the surrounding structure. This method is characterized by its simplicity and efficiency, as it avoids the need for extensive structural modifications. Since it utilizes the existing framework, retrofit installation is generally easier to complete compared to brick-to-brick installation. Moreover, it often proves to be more cost-effective due to reduced labour and material requirements.
