How do you waterproof an awning?

There are many products on the market to aid in waterproofing your fabric awning. Fabric Guard 303, Aquaseal, Canvak and other awning fabric treatments are available to address this issue. The best way to prevent water penetration on your awning is to use a waterproof fabric. Sunbrella, Weathermax, Dickson, and other "canvas" type materials are not 100% waterproof. Visit my website at www.patriotcustomcanvas.com for more information on getting your awning recovered. For information on cleaning and maintaining your awning you can visit http://devonstyler.startlogic.com/patriotcustomcanvas/7301.html Another trick that I have used with success is using Thompson's water seal on an awning cover. There is a guy in the Charlotte NC area that is very good at cleaning and sealing awnings. Contact me through the website listed above and I'll give you his number.

How is an awning window distinct from a regular window?

An awning is a feature, which stretches over doorways and windows to provide shelter from Sun and rain. An "awning window" makes use of this characteristic in the sense that, although a window will not provide shelter from sunlight due to its transparent qualities, it will open in such a way that even when open it should provide sufficient shelter from rain. A normal window will typically open in an up and down motion, such that while open it will let rain enter the interior, however due to an awning window's circular opening motion, as I just described, it can be opened to let in a cool breeze without resulting in the indoors becoming wet from rain, if there is any.
