Double Hung Windows

Double Hung Windows

When replacing the windows on your home there plenty of choices to be made. What colors should you use on the trim and frames? Should you get decorative shutters? Should you choose dual- or triple-pane windows? One decision most homeowners have the most fun with is choosing the styles of windows to place throughout their home. A very popular style among homeowners is the double hung window.

What are double hung windows?

Double hung windows are one of the most popular window choices across the country. They have a classic window style, but their appeal does not stop here. Their unique design greatly enhances functionality too.

Double hung windows have two sashes – one bottom (which can go up) and one top (which can go down). When you open these two sashes, they slide past each other, meaning you can even open both sashes at the same time.

Pros of double hung windows

The most significant advantage of double hung windows is that they are specially designed to enhance their functionality. The ability of the sashes to slide up and down has an aesthetic appeal as well as a valuable functionality. However, they are designed as such so that airflow in and out of your home can increase. When you slide the bottom sash up, it enables fresh and cool air from outside to enter your house. And when you slide down the top sash, it allows hot air from your ceiling to escape your home.

Apart from this, double hung windows are extremely easy to clean since both sashes can slide up and down. You can quickly reach not only the inside but the outside panels too. Moreover, high quality double hung windows have a feature known as quadruple weatherstripping, making them highly energy efficient.

Cons of double hung windows

Double windows are used in all kinds of homes and are energy efficient. However, they do have their drawbacks. If you opt for a lower quality double hung window, it is likely that it may not be as airtight as higher quality windows.
