Double-hung windows are one of the most popular options available today, but why should you consider getting them instead of a sliding or casement window? Our experts on replacement windows give you a closer look at some of the biggest advantages of this particular type of window.
When you open or close a double-hung window, you’ll notice that the frames do not go beyond the actual frame as they only slide up and down. There are no panels that could swing outward and accidentally hit other things. Because of this, you can put a double-hung window almost anywhere that a casement or a wide sliding window won’t fit.
If you open a casement window, air will either flow in or out of it. However, this only lets the air flow in one direction. With double-hung vinyl windows, you can slide both panels towards the middle, creating two openings that allow air to circulate. This is important, especially if the room is too small to have more than one window.
With casement windows, you need to be very particular about making sure the sash is fitted snugly against the frame when you close them because there’s a chance that the panel isn’t fully-closed. Double-hung window panels are always in contact with the frame so you can be sure that the window is sealed when you pull down the panels and lock them in place.
Because double wood window installations require a considerable amount of skill to install, trying to DIY the project can increase the risk of installation-related issues. To keep your windows from being compromised by poor installation, you should get help from licensed local window contractors.
