Replacement Double Hung Windows
Replacement windows aren’t a purchase you want to make haphazardly. First, new windows can transform the way your home looks both inside and outside. New windows can also increase your home’s value. And new windows need to offer the type of function you want and need in your home.
That’s why it’s so important to understand your options and to make the best decision for you and your home.
You’ll find so many different options when shopping for new windows, including double hung vs. single hung windows. Which is right for you?
At Garrety Home Pros, we specialize in connecting York County homeowners with the right types of windows to meet their needs. Learn more about double hung windows and their benefits below, and get in touch with us anytime to talk about your home and the type of window replacements it needs.
What Is A Double Hung Window?
When you think about standard windows, you most likely think about single sash windows — which open on only one end. That is, the bottom sash raises, but the top one does not. Double hung windows offer much greater flexibility in how you open and close them. First, you can open either sash. You can raise and lower either the top or bottom sash. You can also vent either sash. Double hung windows are far more versatile and flexible than other window options.
When Are Double Hung Windows Appropriate?
Double hung windows are appropriate all the time. They deliver the same style and look as single sash windows, but you enjoy far more flexibility. Double sash windows will cost just a little bit more than single sash options, but that’s an investment that is often worth it for homeowners.
For example, double sash windows are far easier to clean than single sash windows, especially from the outside. This makes them a perfect fit for second floors where accessing a window’s exterior isn’t always easy. Double hung windows are also appropriate in areas that need greater ventilation, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Double Hung Window Benefits
The two greatest double hung window benefits are ventilation and cleaning. When you can open both top and bottom sash, tilting either as needed, you’re able to better ventilate your home and modulate the ventilation to meet your needs. And then cleaning is exponentially easier when you have double hung vs. single hung windows. You can open and close each sash as needed, tilting both to give you better access for cleaning. Why is this so important? Clean windows make your home look great from the outside, and clean windows also deliver natural light that makes your home’s interior feel warm and alive.
