Double hung windows are among the most popular window styles for Cincy homeowners. They’re so popular that you’ll find them in both traditional and contemporary homes, a testament to their reliability and utility.
But what exactly makes double hung windows so popular? Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Cincinnati expounds on a few key benefits of this window type.
Like casement windows, double hung windows provide excellent ventilation. You have excellent control of the airflow since you can open both the top and bottom sashes at the same time. To illustrate, opening the bottom sash lets cool air in while opening the top sash admits warm air. This versatility in ventilation is unique to the double hung window design.
One of the main reasons double hung windows are popular is that they’re hardware-friendly. The double hung design allows you to easily fit hardware like an air conditioning unit or a screen. In the case of window-type air conditioning units, the design of the sash allows the window to secure the unit but facilitates easy removal too.
Double hung windows are one of the easiest window types to clean because you can move both sashes to reach the glass. Some double hung windows even tilt out instead of sliding up and down for enhanced convenience.
Double hung windows boast large glass panes. This feature, on top of their superior ability to ventilate, makes them more energy efficient than other window styles. If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly window for your next window installation project, look no further than the double hung window.
