Double-hung windows continue to be one of the most sought-after window options among homeowners. Read on as STL Windows Direct provides an overview of why these windows may be the perfect fit for your home.
Benefits of Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows have a unique design that allows both the upper and lower sashes to slide up and down, making cleaning a breeze. Simply tilt the sashes inward, and you can clean both the interior and exterior surfaces without risking your life and limb on a ladder.
Additionally, double-hung windows also excel at providing excellent air circulation and ventilation. By opening both the top and bottom sashes, you can allow warm air to escape from the top and cool breezes to enter through the bottom. This creates a comfortable living space for you and your family.
Another crucial aspect of double-hung windows to consider is energy efficiency. Double-hung windows nowadays come with energy-efficient glass options, such as double-pane glass equipped with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings. This helps keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, reducing energy consumption that leads to lower utility bills.
If you’re looking for a versatile window, double-hung windows come in a wide variety of design and style options. Whether you prefer a classic wood finish or the modern appeal of vinyl, there’s a double-hung window to suit your taste.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Double-Hung Windows
Before deciding on the perfect double-hung windows for your home, be sure to consider the various factors that might influence your choice. Think about the material that would best suit your needs. Wood, aluminum and fiberglass are among the top choices, but when it comes to low maintenance and durability, vinyl can’t be beat. In fact, at STL Windows Direct, we offer Smart 365 Innovations replacement windows, which are made of 100% vinyl and have sashes and frames that are fusion-welded to give them strength and weather resistance.
Similarly, consider the glass options for your double-hung windows. Single-pane glass may be cheaper upfront, but windows having up to three glass panes offer superior insulation, resulting in a more comfortable living space. Our replacement windows feature high-performance glass with a special glass coating, krypton gas fill in between the panes, and a non-metallic spacer that keeps the seals intact.
Finally, don’t forget the customization options available for your double-hung windows. Choose from an array of colors, finishes, and hardware to create the perfect look for your home.
