24 Sep 4 Reasons to Choose Double Hung Windows
Homeowners often consider switching to a different window style as upgrades: a picture window here for a better view or perhaps a bay or bow window for additional space. The humble double hung window remains a staple of most homes because of its many benefits. In fact, if you have double hung windows that are up for replacement, the following are reasons why you might want to stick to the same style:
-
It Provides Efficient Ventilation – While most other window styles can be opened to let air in, double hung windows are unique in that it allows efficient airflow with a single window. By opening both sashes and creating two openings, the upper opening vents warm, stale air. The resulting air pressure cycles cool, fresh air in. this makes double hung windows the perfect window style for small bedrooms that only have space for one window.
-
It Works With Any Architectural Style – Whatever your home style is, double hung windows will surely fit in. Traditional home styles often feature white or stained wood frames and sashes with grilles. Contemporary homes often feature neutral or dark frames and sashes with uninterrupted glass. Renewal by Andersen® builds custom windows, allowing you to get the exact kind of double hung windows that will fit your home’s style.
-
It’s Easy to Clean and Maintain – Upper story windows are difficult to clean from the inside, and without proper safety equipment, can be dangerous when cleaned from the outside. Modern double hung windows make it safer for homeowners to clean their windows thanks to sashes that can be easily tilted from the inside. Renewal by Andersen makes it even easier thanks to our low-maintenance Fibrex® material frames. Our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass packages feature an exterior coating that reduces water spotting by up to 99% when activated by sunlight.
