Let’s break down each of those factors into more detail.

Briefly, here’s what to know about each frame material:
- Vinyl – Most affordable and offers good insulation; however, it may have fewer color and style options.
- Wood – Offers a traditional look and can be painted or stained; requires more maintenance and is typically more expensive.
- Fiberglass – Durable, strong, and energy-efficient; more costly than vinyl but less maintenance than wood.
- Aluminum – Durable and sleek; less energy-efficient than other materials and can conduct heat and cold.
- Composite – A mixture of materials (usually wood and plastic). It is durable and energy-efficient, mimicking the look of wood with less maintenance.

Awning Window Installation Costs and Considerations
Here’s a breakdown of the elements that typically impact the final cost of an awning window installation.
- Labor rates. This can vary greatly depending on where you live. Larger cities or regions with higher costs of living often have higher labor rates.
- Complexity of installation. The complexity can increase if there is a need to repair or alter the surrounding wall or insulation. For example, if the installation is a replacement and the opening needs to be resized or significantly altered to accommodate the new window, this will add to the cost.
- Window location. Higher floors or hard-to-reach places can increase the installation cost due to the need for additional equipment and safety precautions.
- Window size. Though awning windows tend to be smaller, they come in a variety of heights and widths and can also be custom ordered to many other sizes. Our guide to awning window sizes covers everything you need to know.
- Complexity of installation. The complexity can increase if there is a need to repair or alter the surrounding wall, insulation, or if the window comes with sophisticated mechanisms or additional features like built-in blinds.
- Weatherproofing. Additional sealing, insulation, or weatherproofing to ensure energy efficiency can also impact the cost.
