Plus, with an integral interlocking system keeping them closed tight, our double hung windows are an excellent choice for homeowners concerned about security and weatherproofing.
What Are the Benefits of Double Hung Windows?
There’s a reason why double hung windows are one of the most popular choices for homeowners across the nation. With single hung windows, the top sash is immovable, and only the bottom sash can be operated. With double hung windows, however, homeowners are able to slide and tilt both the top and bottom sashes. This design makes double hung windows a great choice for almost any homeowner, as it allows for:
Easy Maintenance
Since the top and bottom sashes of a double hung window can both be tilted inward, homeowners are able to clean the entire window from within the comfort of their house.
Improved Ventilation
A single hung window only has one opening through which air can be directed. But, when both the top and bottom sashes are opened on a double hung window, cool air can flow through the bottom portion, while warm air flows through the top portion.
Greater Versatility
Some homes have heating systems that don’t allow for central air conditioning, meaning that homeowners have to install in-window air conditioners to receive the same cooling benefits. It’s simple to install in-window units in double hung windows, thanks to their vertical sliding configuration.
Increased Safety
If homeowners are planning to install replacement windows near a high-traffic area, such as a walkway or patio, they might be concerned about passersby bumping into windows that project outward from the home. This isn’t a concern with double hung windows. Plus, if homeowners are concerned about children or pets falling through an open window, they can simply open the top portion of a double hung window, which will likely be out of a child or pet’s reach.
