The awning is hinged at the top and opens outward, with a screen
on the inside. The hopper is hinged at the bottom and opens inward,
with a screen on the outside. Awnings/hoppers are an excellent choice
where ventilation
is an important factor, since virtually the entire window can be
opened.
As with the casement style, North Star awnings
and hoppers perform extremely well because the sash closes against
the frame and can be locked. The thick, welded frame and sash and
cam locks have been independently tested and shown to resist forced
entry. Low-e glass and Super Spacer® technology are standard
features in every window.
