Do you have an awning window? If so, are you wondering if sliding windows should be considered? ?Whether you have an awning or sliding window in your home, there are benefits to both options ’ and choosing the right one can be crucial to saving energy and money (in addition to providing security against bugs!). In this blog post, I'll break down some of the differences between awning windows and sliding windows, as well as discuss their pros and cons
Benefits of awning windows
Security: Awnings are often installed over the front door, which makes them ideal for preventing unwanted visitors from entering your home. They also provide access to the second floor of your home if you want to access a room from there ’ no more climbing steps
Privacy: If you're looking for privacy from prying eyes, then an awning window is a great option. You'll also enjoy extra insulation because no one will be able to see inside your home without being invited in first
Costs: Awnings cost significantly less than sliding windows, though they may still require additional work like painting or replacing hardware in order to install them properly. They're also more expensive upfront than sliding doors due to their custom design
