When it comes to window replacement, double hung windows remain among the most popular style for many homeowners. It’s the commonly used windows for traditional, contemporary and modern homes due to its utility, reliability and versatility.
In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island shares the benefits of installing a double hung window.
Superior Ventilation
These windows rank among the highest when it comes to ventilation, rivaling the likes of casement and sliding windows. What separates it from other ventilation-centered windows is that you have more control of the airflow with the double hung design.
When you open the bottom sash, you let cool air into your home. On the other hand, opening the top sash lets warm air in. This versatility is unique to this kind of window and it’s why it’s the best choice for smaller and more cramped rooms like bathrooms.
Versatile Design
Another benefit to installing this window design is that it easily fits all kinds of architectural styles. The double hung window has a simple and straightforward design, and this allows it to adapt to a house’s style easily. Whether you have an ultra-modern home or a traditional Tudor house, your double hung window will look flush to your interior and exterior.
Hardware Friendly
This window is also hardware-friendly. Its unique design allows you to easily fit hardware such as air conditioning or screens with ease and without having to modify the wall or frame. It pairs well with the window-type air conditioning as the window’s sash secures the unit tightly but is still easy to remove.
Easy to Maintain
This window is also the easiest to maintain and clean since you can move both sashes to reach the glass. Some double hung windows even have a tilt feature for even easier cleaning.
