Customer Q&A with Product Specialists

Laurel B. from Wisconsin asked:
I need an awning for three windows. Two of these windows roll out, and there is only an 8-inch clearance from under the roof to where an awning could be mounted without interfering with the window operation. I'd prefer not to have to retract the awning every time I open the windows. Do you have any suggestions?

Currently, our fixed (non-retractable) window awnings have a minimum vertical drop of 16 inches. This dimension exceeds your stated 8-inch clearance from under the roof, meaning these awnings would likely interfere with the operation of your roll-out windows.
