Modern double-hung windows offer both convenience and beauty for any homeowner needing a window replacement. Double-hung windows come in many sizes and options, which make it easier than ever to find the perfect window design for your home today.
The first step to choosing double hung windows for your home is measuring your windows for size. There are many standard sizes available ranging up to nearly four feet wide and seven and a half feet tall, but you can also order custom sized windows for any specialty installation. The most common sizes are 24 and 36 inch widths and 36, 46 or 54 inch heights. If you order a window that is one of these common sizes it will likely be readily available and in stock from common big box stores. Keep in mind that DIY window installation can be difficult for the homeowner with average carpentry skills.
Your home is probably your largest investment. Don’t take a chance with average or standard products or sub-standard installation. Renewal by Andersen is the industry leader and will send a professional to measure your windows, the installation crew consists of master craftsmen and the warranties are the best in the industry.
In addition to the different sizes of windows widely available, you will also have a wide array of options to consider. For instance, you may want to add a grille inside the glass to dress up the window, or fancy hardware that serves as an accent to the natural finish of the window. Some double-hung windows only have one moveable sash, while others allow you to move both panels. Many modern double hung windows also include hinges so you can swing the window inward for cleaning. Not to mention the different types of material used to frame the window such as vinyl, Fibrex®, wood and more.
These are just some of the most common styles and sizes of windows you will run into in your home. However, it is not a definitive list of the options available to you. There are many ways to further customize your double hung windows to fit your needs. Make sure that you ask your window installer about different tiers of window products so you can see what kind of hardware and finishes come standard with each price range, and what convenient features are added in.
