Awning Windows
Awning windows are an excellent choice for Florida homeowners thanks to their suitability for the state’s warm and often humid climate. They offer excellent energy efficiency along with enhanced security and durability, especially when crafted by top manufacturers like Simonton and PGT and installed by our skilled professionals at FAS Exteriors.
Their tight seal and quality materials help minimize air leakage, improving your home’s insulation and reducing energy costs. Advanced locking systems provide added protection against intruders and harsh weather, while expert installation ensures a secure, precise fit. Trust FAS Exteriors to deliver awning windows that safeguard your property, boost energy efficiency, and stand the test of time.

What Makes Awning Windows the Right Choice for Florida Homes
Awning windows are hinged at the top and crank open outward from the bottom, creating a natural overhang that sheds rain while still allowing ventilation. That single design feature makes them uniquely well-suited to Florida’s climate; you can keep them open through a passing afternoon shower without a drop getting inside.
One of the most versatile window styles available, awning windows are equally at home above a kitchen sink, in a bathroom, paired alongside a fixed picture window, or installed in a row just below the roofline to draw hot air out of a room. Their compact footprint and limited outward swing also make them safer around walkways, patios, and landscaping than casement windows.
Impact-Rated Awning Windows for Florida’s Hurricane Zone
If your home’s within one mile of the Florida coastline, our state’s building code requires windows that withstand winds of at least 130 mph. Further inland, the threshold rises to 140 mph.
Every awning window that FAS Exteriors installs meets or exceeds Florida’s wind load requirements, and many qualify for the My Safe Florida Homes Wind Mitigation Grant, which provides up to $10,000 toward hurricane-resistant window installation for eligible homeowners.
FAS Exteriors is an approved My Safe Florida contractor. Call us to find out if your home qualifies before you buy.
Awning Windows vs. Other Window Styles
Not every window style suits every Florida home; see how awning windows stack up against the most common alternatives across the features that matter most in our climate.
| FEATURE | AWNING | CASEMENT | SINGLE-HUNG | SLIDING |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opens during rain | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| Full ventilation | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | Partial | Partial |
| Tight weather seal | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Excellent | Good | Good |
| Tight space-friendly | ✅ Yes | Limited | ✅ Yes | Limited |
| Impact-rated options | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
As the table above shows, awning windows are the only operable style that maintains a weather-tight seal during rain. That’s a practical advantage that casement, single-hung, and sliding windows simply can’t match on a Florida Gulf Coast afternoon.

What Does Awning Window Replacement Cost in Florida?
Awning window replacement in Florida typically ranges from $400 to $900 and up per window including materials and professional installation. The final cost depends on:
- Window size—Standard vs. custom dimensions
- Glass package—Standard insulated glass vs. impact-rated laminated glass
- Frame material—Vinyl (more affordable) vs. aluminum (higher durability, slim profile)
- Number of windows—Multiwindow projects often reduce per-unit cost
- Permit fees—Florida requires permits for window replacement; FAS Exteriors handles all permitting
Impact-rated awning windows cost more upfront, but qualify for the My Safe Florida grant and Florida’s Home Hardening Tax Exemption, making them tax-free at point of purchase.
