awning windows

Outward-tilting glass panels

Awning windows are hinged at the top and swing outward from the bottom, creating an awning-like opening that allows ventilation even during light rain.

They're common in basements and bathrooms where privacy and airflow matter more than a wide view: The awning windows let in fresh air without letting in the storm.
