Summary
Also known as an awning window, the Projected Window hinges outward from the top to a close 45° angle — ideal for ventilating a small opening (a kitchen, bathroom, or commercial storefront strip) while keeping rain out.
Overview
Distinctive in appearance and performance, this projected window — also known as an awning window — provides a great view when used in the main opening and good ventilation when just a small portion is needed. Same as the Casement, it contains corrosion-resistant concealed hardware.
Features

- Custom sizing — Built to the opening: 18"–48" wide, 12"–72" tall.

FAQ
What's the difference between a Projected and a Casement window? Both use the same 325 Series hardware and glazing, but the Casement hinges from the side and opens up to 90°, while the Projected window hinges from the top and opens to a closer 45° — better for venting a small opening while blocking rain.
Is it certified for hurricane impact? Yes — PSF +100/-100, approved for HVHZ, Florida Building Code #FL40555.
