Question

Awning windows can be 100% openable and are best used where extreme weather conditions require a tight seal when the window is closed, although these windows are in common use everywhere.1. True2. False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation: Awning windows

are Weather-tight, good choice in damp climates and can protect your home against moisture, even when they’re open during a rainstorm. Because of the way awning windows are constructed, they allow for nearly 100 percent of viable ventilation, without the threat of water seeping into the home. They also offer a superior seal against air pass through

These windows form a slant (of about 45 degree) after opening hence do not open 100%; this slant opening is advantageous in preventing rain from entering the building.

The windows can also be tightly sealed (from the inside) during extreme/cold weather conditions.
