Vinyl Series 2020 Awning Hardware

Operator

Awning window sashes open and close using a hand-cranked, gear-driven operator that is connected to a glide hinge system. The operator is located on the sill. An Awning sash is pivot-hinged near the top of the window and the sash opens towards the exterior.

Glide Hinge System

Our Glide Hinge System consists of left and right glide arm assemblies.  These glide hinges create pivot points at the top of the sash to achieve upward hinging. A pair of left and right sash levers secure the closed sash.
