Acclaim™ Awning Window - Renewal by Andersen

Acclaim^® Awning Window

Functional Design with Lasting Appeal

The Acclaim^® Awning Window is built to combine practicality with elegance. Hinged at the top and opening outward from the bottom, this design makes it possible to bring fresh air into your home even during light rain. The sash creates a protective cover when open, channeling water away while allowing continuous ventilation. Awning windows are versatile in their placement. They are often used above sinks, counters, or doorways where reach can be an issue. They also pair beautifully with large picture or fixed windows, adding both function and architectural interest.

Effortless Operation

The hardware system is engineered for smooth and reliable performance. A folding handle makes it easy to open or close the sash with a single hand, then tucks neatly out of sight when not in use. This design avoids interference with blinds or curtains and creates a clean, uncluttered interior look.

Slimline locks secure the window at multiple points, ensuring a weather-tight seal and enhanced security. The locking system is easy to operate and adds confidence to the overall performance of the window.

Comfort in Any Weather

Awning windows are one of the few styles that can remain open during rain showers without concern for water intrusion. Their unique top-hinged operation provides ventilation and protection at the same time. When fully opened, the entire sash area contributes to airflow, creating comfort in any season. To enhance insulation, Acclaim^® Awning Windows are constructed with a tight weather-stripping system. Together with Fibrex® composite frames and advanced glass options, these windows block drafts, reduce noise, and improve energy efficiency.

Built With Strength and Elegance

Every Acclaim^® Awning Window features mortise-and-tenon joinery that reinforces structural integrity while giving the frame a handcrafted appearance. Fibrex® composite material provides additional strength and durability, resisting rot, decay, and warping over time. The horizontal orientation of the sash creates distinctive architectural lines. Used on their own, they deliver a modern, streamlined look. When combined with other windows, they add balance, variety, and visual interest to the façade.

Customization Options

Ideal Placement in the Home

Awning windows are particularly useful in spaces that require both ventilation and privacy. Bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms benefit from their placement high on walls, where they admit light and air without sacrificing wall space.

They also work well in combination with picture windows, where the fixed glass frames the view and awnings below or above provide airflow. In living rooms and bedrooms, they add dimension to window groupings and create design flexibility.
