Frequently Asked Questions

Awning Window FAQs

An awning window is a top-hinged window that opens outward from the bottom, allowing fresh air to flow in while helping shield the interior from rain. This design makes awning windows ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas where controlled ventilation and weather protection are important.

At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, our aluminium awning windows feature durable frames, smooth chain winders, and toughened safety glass, making them a practical choice for Perth homes.

One disadvantage of awning windows is that they open outward, which may not suit areas close to walkways, patios, or external paths. They may also be less suitable for very wide openings than sliding or fixed window combinations. However, modern aluminium awning windows minimise these drawbacks through compact opening angles and secure hardware.

For a balanced overview, see the Pros and Cons of Awning Windows.

Awning windows and double hung windows differ mainly in how they open and manage airflow. Awning windows hinge from the top and open outward, offering excellent rain protection and directional airflow. Double hung windows open vertically from the top, bottom, or both, allowing warm air to escape and cooler air to enter. Each suits different spaces and design preferences.

A full comparison is provided in our article, Awning Windows vs. Double Hung Windows.

Awning windows aren’t necessarily better than sliding windows—they simply serve different purposes. Awning windows excel in areas where ventilation is needed during wet weather, while sliding windows are ideal for wide openings and spaces where outward-opening sashes aren’t practical. Many homes use a combination of both styles to balance airflow, usability, and design.

Yes, awning windows allow excellent airflow, especially when positioned to catch prevailing breezes. Because the sash opens outward, air is directed into the room rather than deflected away. When installed higher on walls or paired with fixed panels, awning windows can significantly improve cross-ventilation throughout a space.

Awning windows are well-suited to rainy conditions because the outward-opening sash acts like a shield, deflecting water away from the opening. Jason Windows’ awning windows are designed with quality seals and precise framing to reduce water ingress, making them a reliable option for Western Australian weather when installed correctly.

Awning windows are a popular choice for bedrooms because they provide secure ventilation, privacy, and weather protection. They can be installed higher on walls to allow airflow without compromising security, and they work well alongside fixed or sliding windows to create balanced light and ventilation in sleeping areas.

Jason Windows’ awning windows are built specifically for Australian conditions, combining strong aluminium frames, smooth chain winder operation, and toughened safety glass. They offer excellent sealing, optional flyscreens, and compliance with Australian Standards, making them a durable and reliable choice. Backed by Jason Windows’ 10-year warranty, these awning windows deliver long-term performance, comfort, and peace of mind.

Doors & Windows BAL Rating

Bush Fire Rating

In Western Australia, new construction work is required to comply with the performance requirements of the Building Code of Australia. The Building Code contains specific bushfire construction requirements for buildings in designated bushfire-prone areas that aim to reduce the risk of ignition from embers to minimise risk to lives and property. The primary concern of Australian Standard AS3959:2009 is to improve buildings in bushfire-prone areas to withstand attack from a bushfire and provide a level of protection to the building occupants, as well as the building itself. If you are not sure of the requirements for your area, you can check with your local council or fire authority. As a standard, Ross’s Discount Home Centre provides all Windows and Doors with a minimum standard BAL Benchmark rating of 19. For detailed explanations of what is specifically required for windows and doors for each of these ratings, please refer to the Australian Glass and Window Association: www.awa.org.au

BAL Rating

Ross’s Discount Home Centre provides high-quality windows and doors designed to meet BAL-19 residential standards. Our Benchmark Product Range ensures that all our windows and doors are fully equipped with external protection, featuring a minimum mesh with a maximum aperture of 2mm, meticulously crafted in accordance with AS 1530.8.1 regulations. With a BAL-19 rating, our products are engineered to safeguard your building against ember attack, burning debris, and radiant heat up to 19 kW/m2, providing you with peace of mind and superior protection for your home.

Aluminium Frame & Screen

With a BAL-19 rating, our supporting frames are expertly crafted from aluminium, a material renowned for its exceptional fire-resistant properties. Aluminium possesses a natural oxide layer that effectively inhibits its reaction with oxygen, thereby preventing ignition. Notably non-flammable, solid aluminium does not combust; instead, it withstands extreme temperatures up to approximately 600°C without catching fire. Rest assured, our aluminium frames offer robust fire protection, ensuring the safety and security of your home.

5mm Toughened Glass

All our windows feature a minimum of 5mm toughened glass, ensuring durability and safety. Toughened Glass is 4-5x tougher than normal glass. Our toughened safety glass boasts a nominal thickness of 5mm, suitable for blade widths up to 230mm and blade lengths up to 1000mm, providing reliable performance and peace of mind.
