The Major Benefits that Double Hung Windows Offer

Double hung windows are increasing in popularity in homes around the country, and that’s because they’re just so versatile. These windows offer excellent utility, they look nice and they’re easy to take care of. Single-hung windows and other styles have their place, but the double-hung is one of the best all-around window options when you want something that’s going to fill many roles.

Below is a list of three perks of double hung windows and why we often recommend them.

Simple Maintenance

Many people shy away from double hung windows because they worry about how difficult they are going to be to clean. After all, they rely on more complicated sashes and there’s cleaning to be done around both openings of the window. As long as you go with a good quality brand like the Marvin Ultimate double hung windows, you’ll enjoy tilt-out sashes that are incredibly easy to clean from inside your home. Simply tilt them out and wipe off the outside of the window in seconds.

But many manufacturers of double-hung windows have incorporated a sash design that makes cleaning your windows a breeze.

As long as you go with a good quality brand like the Marvin Ultimate double-hung windows (as well as many others we install), you’ll enjoy tilt-out sashes that are incredibly easy to clean from inside your home. Simply tilt them inward and wipe off the exterior of the window in seconds.  And because they tilt in, cleaning the tracks is easy, too.

A Nice Look

There’s something particularly beautiful about double-hung windows. After all, they didn’t become the popular choice without reason.  Most feature stylish trim and a nice clean look that goes well with a range of home styles. For example, window brands like Pella and Marvin have options for both traditional and modern homes.

An Excellent Source of Ventilation

Since both sashes can be opened at the same time, double-hung windows can offer two different openings at the same time, which is exactly what a room needs in order for ventilation to occur. Air can enter the room through the bottom opening in the window while old stale air leaves the room through the exit out the top. It’s a simple loop that creates valuable ventilation in your home and makes your living space more pleasant overall.

Here are more reasons why you might want to choose double-hung windows over single-hung.
