While there are lots of window styles on the market, nothing beats the classic: double-hung windows. They have been around since the 18th century, but they remain the preferred choice due to their impressive benefits.
Renewal by Andersen® of Long Island discusses the key features and benefits of this window style:
Aesthetic Adaptability
Double-hung windows are available in a wide range of colors, finishes and grille patterns to match your decor. While they exhibit vintage beauty, they are sure to fit in modern homes as well. Many homeowners install them in a series to create a sleek and stunning wall of glass. With the right mix of detail and lighting, this gives you the best of both traditional and contemporary charm.
Excellent Ventilation
As the name suggests, both sashes of double-hung windows can be opened, giving you total control over airflow. The top sash lets the warm indoor air out of your home, while the bottom sash brings the cool breeze in. If you only want a little ventilation, you can operate just one sash. This feature makes double-hung units ideal in high-moisture areas of your home, including the kitchen and the bathroom.
Space-Saving Design
Unlike casement units, double-hung windows don’t swing outward upon opening. This means they are safe to install in rooms facing patios, decks and walkways. They can also accommodate screens and air conditioners, which helps you save space in your home.
To enjoy many years of protection, comfort, and savings, we offer durable, energy-efficient, and gorgeous double-hung replacement windows. They feature Fibrex® frame material, which combines the strength of wood and the low-maintenance traits of vinyl. They also come with High-Performance® Low-E4™ glass to minimize heat transfer and block UV rays. With these key components, your home stays weathertight and beautiful all year round.
