What are Awning Windows?
An awning window, or project out window, is a top hinged outward opening residential window that protects the window opening like an awning. Awning windows provide additional light and ventilation even during rainy weather. This type of residential window is suitable in nearly every style of home and is frequently used in bathrooms with obscure or textured glass to provide additional privacy.
CGI Sentinel Awning Windows – Residential Windows
CGI’s Sentinel Collection awning windows, or project-out window, not only look great but outperforms its competitors in quality and value. CGI‘s impact resistant 238 series of awning windows have matching sightlines that allow them to be used interchangeably, giving homeowners a consistent look throughout their home. CGI offers homebuilders and homeowners multiple options with their Sentinel awning windows. These residential windows include the following options:
- Awning Windows Finishes: white, bronze and clear anodized
- Glass Colors for Awning Windows: clear, gray, dark gray, bronze, solexia, obscure, mist, and rain
- Awning Window Glass Types: 5/16″ laminated and 3/4″ insulated laminated
- Glass Coatings for 238 Series Awning Windows: energy efficient LoE options
- Note: Lo E coatings exhibit specific color characteristics depending on viewing angles, reflected light, and time of day. For example, Cardinal LoE 366 shows a greenish hue. When Clear glass is coupled with an LoE 366 coating, the reflected color can appear green from the outside during certain times of the day. This LoE 366 coating offers an excellent combination of thermal performance, visible light transmittance, and value. When heat strengthened glass is used, roller wave distortion is an inherent possibility.
