Impact Awning Windows for Florida Homes
Awning window installation in Fort Lauderdale solves a problem that every South Florida homeowner knows well — how to keep windows open for ventilation when afternoon thunderstorms roll in. Awning windows are hinged at the top and swing outward at the bottom, creating a canopy effect that lets air flow in while rain is deflected by the sash itself. In Fort Lauderdale's climate, where almost daily afternoon showers during rainy season can last 20–40 minutes, awning windows are the practical ventilation solution that keeps fresh air flowing without letting rain in. At Planet Construction FL, we install impact-rated awning windows throughout Broward County.
Standard Awning Windows Fail Under Florida Conditions
The Planet Construction Approach
Cheap awning windows leak air and water around the sash, develop hardware problems quickly in salt air, and offer no impact protection. They were never engineered for the conditions they face on the South Florida coast — and they don't last.

Call (754) 301-6747How much ventilation do awning windows provide?
Awning windows open the full width of the sash while the height of the opening is limited to the outward swing of the sash — typically 70–80% of the sash height. This provides good ventilation in smaller window sizes and excellent ventilation in taller awning units. For maximum airflow in a given window opening, casement windows (which open the full sash area) provide slightly more ventilation than awning windows of the same size.
Can awning windows be combined with other window types?
