Awing Windows

Awning Window Repair and Replacement in Toronto

At Etobicoke Glass – Window & Door Services, we specialize in professional awning window repair and replacement solutions for homeowners across Toronto and nearby areas. Our experienced technicians are committed to delivering long-lasting results that improve your home’s ventilation, comfort, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.

Awning windows are designed with top-mounted hinges and open outward from the bottom using a smooth crank or push mechanism. This clever design creates a protective angle—similar to an awning—that allows fresh air to enter while keeping rainwater out. With their clean lines and modern appearance, awning windows are a popular choice for both contemporary and minimalistic homes.

As a trusted window repair and replacement provider, Etobicoke Glass – Window & Door Services installs and services awning windows built for superior weather protection, airflow, and durability. These windows maintain excellent moisture resistance while enhancing your home’s overall design and performance.

Common Awning Window Problems We Fix

Windows That Won’t Stay Open

Awning windows may fail to hold their position due to worn friction hinges, stripped gears, or a failing operator mechanism. Our specialists identify the root cause and repair or replace the necessary components so your window stays open securely and operates safely at any angle.

Difficulty Opening or Closing

If your window feels stiff, jammed, or unbalanced, the likely culprits are corroded hinges, shifted frames, or a worn-out crank system. We inspect, clean, lubricate, and realign the entire mechanism to restore smooth and effortless operation.

Water Leaks During Rain

Since awning windows are designed to deflect rainwater, leaks often indicate deteriorated weatherstripping or clogged drainage. We locate the source and replace worn seals, ensuring your home stays dry even during heavy rainfall.

Incomplete Closure or Gaps

Gaps around the sash can reduce energy efficiency and affect security. Our technicians realign the window, adjust hardware, and replace damaged seals to ensure a perfect, airtight closure.

Crank or Operator Problems

A crank handle that spins freely or struggles to open the window signals a failed operator. We repair or replace the crank using durable, high-quality components designed for long-term performance.

Fogged or Cloudy Glass

Condensation between window panes means the insulated glass seal has failed. Instead of replacing the entire window, Etobicoke Glass – Window & Door Services can install a new sealed glass unit to restore clarity and energy savings at a more affordable cost.

Frame Damage

Wood rot, aluminum corrosion, or vinyl warping can weaken your window’s structure. We repair or replace damaged frame sections using matching materials to restore durability, appearance, and proper functionality.

Hardware Corrosion or Wear

Toronto’s changing climate can cause hardware to rust or fail over time. We replace corroded hinges, operators, and locks with weather-resistant parts for reliable, long-lasting operation.

Types of Awning Windows We Repair

Traditional Crank-Out Awning Windows

These are the most common awning windows and rely on single or dual-arm operator systems. We repair worn gears, arms, hinges, and ensure a tight seal and smooth opening every time.

Push-Out Awning Windows

Push-out styles use friction hinges that can loosen or seize. We adjust, lubricate, and align these hinges to restore smooth and safe movement.

Chain-Operated Awning Windows

These multi-panel systems require exact alignment to prevent gaps and leaks. We fine-tune all panels for synchronized operation and improved energy efficiency.

Multi-Panel Awning Windows

Often found in modern homes, multi-panel configurations may develop sealing or alignment issues. Our specialists restore proper movement and weather protection.

Basement and Utility Awning Windows

Basement awning windows often suffer from humidity, rust, and seal deterioration. We repair hardware, replace seals, and improve moisture resistance for better airflow and protection.

Vinyl and Fiberglass Awning Windows

While durable, vinyl and fiberglass windows may experience seal failures or hardware wear. We service these materials to restore airtight sealing and energy-efficient performance.

Wood Frame Awning Windows

Wood windows require expert care. We repair rot, warping, cracks, and hardware issues while applying protective treatments to maintain their natural beauty and long lifespan.

Aluminum Frame Awning Windows

Aluminum windows may face condensation, thermal break issues, or seal deterioration. We repair thermal components, upgrade weatherproofing, and restore smooth operator performance.
