Albany Awning Windows

Improve Your Home’s Airflow and Natural Light With Awning Windows

Albany, the capital of New York State, is a vibrant city with a rich arts and culture scene. As the oldest city in the state, Albany has vast historic architecture – you can find many historic homes in a range of styles. As you explore areas like Saratoga Springs, Lake George, Troy, Lark Street, and more, you’ll see that many homes have Ranch, Farmhouse, Colonial, Craftsman, and Victorian architecture.

Whether you’re building a new home or are looking for window replacements in Albany, awning windows are a popular choice for locals. These windows are hinged at the top and swing outward from the bottom, allowing for great ventilation and making it easy for locals to enjoy Albany’s beautiful warm season. You can choose awning windows in various sizes and you can install them in unique places, like in your basement or bathroom, above your patio doors, or in combination with other windows, to maximize your home’s beauty and natural light.

Commonly known as: top hung windows, crank-out windows, retractable windows and top-hinged windows.

Popular Local Trends & Styles

Triple-Pane Awning Windows

Glass types are just one way you can customize your awning windows, and the type of glass you choose is important. Triple-pane (three-pane) awning windows offer many sought-after benefits to Albany homes. At Pella, our triple-pane glass has insulating gas between its panes, which helps keep your home’s temperature comfortable and consistent – an especially helpful feature during Albany’s cold winter weather. It also dampens the outside noises that come with living in a major city, which will be much appreciated when you are sleeping or trying to relax.

Black Awning Windows

Black windows are a popular home design choice as they enhance curb appeal by creating contrast. This window color is trending in Farmhouse or Ranch style homes, however, it can suit many different home styles like Colonial, Craftsman, and Victorian. You can spruce your black awning windows up with grilles to complement your home’s traditional style, or if you’re going for a modern look, go grille-less.

Fiberglass Awning Windows

When it comes to window materials, fiberglass is known for being low maintenance and durable. Pella’s proprietary fiberglass material is the strongest material for windows.9 Fiberglass enhances energy efficiency and endures well against the elements and extreme temperatures, making it a great option for Albany’s snowy winters – especially when used in combination with our energy-efficient window glass.
