Kitchen Window

15 years ago

We would like to replace our windows in front of our kitchen sink. Right now, there are 3 windows. We are thinking about one large awning type window with 2 small casements on the side. I am sure there are other variations that would look nice. We don't want grids. We have a beautiful view of the backyard that we do not want to obstruct. I would welcome any ideas or pictures. Thanks!

I tried to download a photo of an Anderson casement window between cabinets, and couldn't get it done, but if you google "awning window" the photo should come up.

Here's a photo of our LR window with two casements on the sides. We can't open the big one, but the casements provide enough breeze when they're open.

Save the money, ditch the awning opening--the two casements and the side window will suffice for openables. We did a very similar thing, but on a bigger scale and I now know that the middle panes do not need to move.

Very good points about not needing the middle window to open. I guess that would save us some bucks.
