What Are Awning Windows?
These easy-to-operate windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom with the assistance of a crank. Awning windows provide adjustable ventilation and light without exposure to outside elements, allowing them to remain open during periods of rain or snow. More than practical, they can be installed alongside casement windows to accent homes with contemporary, breathable focal points.
Open your home to its full potential with awning windows from NEXT Door & Window.

Gave us great suggestions on window replacements. We love the picture windows and other suggestions he made. He is very knowledgeable and came to our house during the installation to make sure all was going well and we were happy with the windows and installation.
The installers were very skilled and knowledgeable. In my Family Room, the installer even took it upon himself to level the wood shelf under the window he was installing so the wood framing the window would be even and “look nice“ as he said. He didn’t have to put in that extra effort, but he did…he took great pride in his work.
Next Door & Window worked within my schedule and timelines. They are very professional. And Scott the salesperson inspected the installers work to make sure they were doing what they were supposed to. I have nothing bad to say about them.
Very professional, I enjoyed visiting the showroom and being showed around the shop to see how they prepare the windows for installation, and of course meeting those who run the show!
