Why Are Double Hung Windows Still a Great Choice?

Window styles have really expanded in the past couple of decades.  It used to be there were just a couple, with the occasional artsy-type window that might show up.  Over the years we’ve noticed many of our customers converting their windows from the old standard double-hungs to other more modern styles.  But we believe the double hung window is still a very valid choice.

Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?

There are many types of windows in the market, and not all of them are made alike. Some are cosmetic, while others fill very specific purposes for the homeowner. Replacing your home’s windows gives you the option to choose a different style to go with, depending on the needs or wants that you have.

When choosing the right window style, first consider all of your options and the home that you have. Some windows might not be beneficial for specific home designs, while others fit in nicely.   For example, if you’ve got an older or historic home, double hung windows are still the best choice.

With each window coming with its own set of features, we can help you choose the right one that goes with your home.

That’s just one of the reasons we offer so many different window lines to select from. 

So what exactly are double hung windows good for?

With these types of windows, you’re able to have the option of having more air flow. The top and bottom of the windows both open to allow the air to move through the home. You can slide one or the other up, or both – whatever you choose.  Other styles of windows don’t have that flexibility.

Another great benefit of double hung windows is that you’re easily able to clean them both inside and out. You can tilt them so the outside is just as easy to clean on the inside, no straining necessary. This is an amazing feature if your home tends to get a lot of dust throughout the day, and especially for second-floor windows where you’d need a tall ladder to get the outsides clean.

Double hung windows are also great for letting light in and for being energy efficient.  Not only that, but with many of the manufacturers providing lifetime warranties on their double hung windows, you’re covered in case something happens.
