Window Type · Awning
Ventilation. Rain or shine.
Top-hinged steel awning windows provide continuous ventilation while helping protect against light rain. Built to your exact opening using original European profile systems, they combine clean sightlines with dependable everyday performance.
Why Awning Windows
Fresh air, without compromise.
Awning windows are ideal where ventilation is important but space is limited. Their outward-opening design allows airflow while helping shield the opening from light rain — a practical choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-level windows.
Continuous Ventilation
Allows fresh air to circulate while maintaining clean architectural lines.
Weather Conscious
Top-hinged operation provides ventilation during light rain when conditions allow.
Custom Fabricated
Every awning window is built to your exact dimensions, glazing specification, and finish.

Common Questions
Awning windows,
answered.
The questions we hear most from homeowners, designers, and architects specifying steel awning windows.
An awning window is hinged at the top and swings outward from the bottom, forming a small awning over the opening when open. Built on a steel profile, it pairs continuous ventilation with the slim sightlines and durability of traditional steel — fabricated to your exact opening.
Awning windows are ideal where ventilation matters but space or privacy is limited — above a kitchen counter or sink, in bathrooms, or high on a wall for daylight and airflow without sacrificing wall space. Because they open outward from the bottom, they also help shed light rain away from the opening.
Yes. For exterior and conditioned spaces we specify thermally broken profiles — W50-TB or Secco OS2 75 — which place an insulating barrier inside the steel section to reduce heat transfer and condensation. For covered or interior openings, the slimmer non-thermal W40 is often the right call.
They're one of the best options for both. Positioned above a counter, backsplash, or high on a bathroom wall, an awning window ventilates moisture and cooking odours while maintaining privacy. Paired with reeded or frosted glazing, it lets daylight through without a direct sightline into the room.
Absolutely — it's one of the most common configurations. A large fixed panel carries the view while an operable awning unit, placed where you need airflow, provides ventilation. Because they share the same steel profile, the whole assembly reads as one seamless steel window.
Every BlackFramed awning window is made to order — never from stock sizes. Dimensions, opening operation, hardware, glazing, and finishes are all specified to suit your architectural intent and performance requirements, then fabricated to approved shop drawings.
