A-100 Impact Awning Window
A 100 mm impact-rated awning window: top-hinged and projecting outward, so it sheds rain and can stay open in a shower, approved for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone.
The awning hinges at the top and pushes out from the bottom, so the open sash sheds rain and gives ventilation even in wet weather. On a 100 mm aluminum frame with laminated impact glass, it holds up in a hurricane zone.

What is a awning window?
An awning window is hinged at the top and pushes outward from the bottom, so the open sash tips down and out like a small awning. That geometry sheds rain, which means an awning can stay open for ventilation during a light shower. Awning units work well set high on a wall, or stacked above fixed and operable windows.
