Drip Edge

These exterior steel awning windows with thermal break feature a welded drip edge directly above the operable awning window panel. This drip edge serves as an additional barrier, preventing descending exterior elements from entering your space between the frame and operable panel itself, while still allowing the awning window to operate without obstruction.

Weather Stripping

These steel exterior awning windows with thermal break come standard with pre-installed weather stripping around the entire perimeter of the awning window panel, as well as the frame. This creates a full seal and acts as a barrier from outdoor elements, helping to prevent cold or hot air from leaking out of the home, resulting in a much more energy efficient product.

Nailer Fin

These steel exterior awning windows with thermal break feature a welded 2.8” nailer fin around the frame of the window, and is designed to be installed from the exterior of your space. This nailer fin is inset to allow for a .9” of finish work on the exterior of your home, and includes pre-drilled holes around the entire face of the fin.

Metals

Steel windows offer many more enhanced security features when compared to their wood, fiberglass, vinyl, or aluminum counterparts. These steel exterior awning windows with thermal break are made with thermally broken Ottostumm cold rolled solid steel, drawing inspiration from 20th century design characteristics, with a modern twist. Thermal break models use a thermal barrier to interrupt the transfer of cold, preventing the cold air from penetrating to the interior of your home. This Ottostumm thermal break material, crafted from an advanced high-density polyurethane, provides the ability to satisfy the stringent regulations that many builds require with regards to energy efficiency.
