Double Hung Windows by Arvada Window Replacement

What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of Double Hung Windows from Arvada Window Replacement?

  1. They prevent air from escaping due to advanced weather-stripping. This results in a greater energy efficiency and a reduced cost to heat or cool your home.
  2. Double Hung Windows are extremely versatile! Both of the sashes can be removed and cleaned, and they slide either up or down, allowing for homeowners to add air conditioning units to each window on the top or bottom as they see fit.
  3. Because both sashes are removable, Double Hung Windows from our Arvada Window Company are very easy to clean. Remember back when sashes weren’t removable, and you had to remove screens on the outside to clean your windows? Yeah, we don’t either!
  4. The safety factor. Do you have little kids roaming around your house? Most kids will push on windows, and with Double Hung Windows, you don’t have to worry about them pushing and falling out of the windows.
  5. The Double Ventilation factor. When you open both the top and bottom of Double Hung Windows, air can escape from the top and come in the bottom. So, if you live in Colorado and you’re having one of those very nice spring days, you can keep your home nice and cool or warm by simply opening both the top and bottom of the window.

What are some of the disadvantages of Double Hung Windows?

  1. They are not as air tight as fixed or single hung windows. Because there is more than one sash that is not fixed, Double Hung Windows do not have the seal that a fixed or picture window does. This can lead to air leakage that is greater than having single hung, custom, or other fixed windows.
  2. Some Double Hung Windows have more limited ventilation than other windows that fully open. This can be seen as a disadvantage, or an advantage, depending on your view of these types of Windows.

Why do we recommend Double Hung Windows for your Arvada home? Because they are one of the most popular types of windows in today’s Window marketplace. Because of the ability to open both sashes, homeowners are seeing Double Hung Windows as a must have in their home.

Double Hung Windows are also extremely easy to use, and new Window technology makes it so that Double Hung Windows don’t need as much maintenance as they did in the early 2000’s. What do families want when it comes to Home Windows? They want easy use, the simple ability to clean, and a great view. Double Hung Windows by our Arvada Window Company offer all of this.
