Double Hung Windows
Double-Hung Window Installation in Delaware
The two most popular types of windows for homes are single-hung and double-hung windows. Each type of window has its advantages, but double-hung windows are more energy-efficient, sound-absorbing, and insulating. At Advance INC, we specialize in installing, repairing, and replacing double-hung windows throughout Delaware, Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and Southeastern, PA. We can install windows at new construction or as part of a home renovation, remodel, or addition. We also offer double-hung window replacement to enhance your home’s beauty, security, energy efficiency, comfort, and value. Call us today to request an estimate or make an appointment.
What Is a Double-Hung Window?
A double-hung window, also called a double-sash window, has two movable sashes. You can lower the top sash or lift the bottom sash independently of each other. You can also operate both sashes at once. In the summer, you can open the top sash to let out warm air and improve air circulation throughout your home. You can also lift the bottom sash to let in cooler outdoor air.
What Are the Benefits of Double-Hung Windows?
Double-hung windows are more energy-efficient because they are better insulated and offer more control over your home’s airflow and ventilation. The biggest benefits of installing double-hung windows are:
- Improved ventilation.
- More control over air movement.
- The ability to let in fresh air.
- The ability to allow hot air out of your home.
- Improved appearance and security.
- Easier to clean because you can angle both windows inward to clean the inside and outside.
- Offer more versatility.
- Can improve the resale value of your home.
How Does a Double-Hung Window Work?
A double-hung window works differently than a single-hung window. To operate a single hung window, you unlock it and lift the bottom sash upwards. The top sash remains immobile and cannot be moved. To operate a double-hung window, you unlock it and pull the top sash down or the bottom sash up. You can operate each sash independently or move both. Turning the lock again allows you to tilt either sash inwards to clean it.
The Difference Between Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows
A single hung window or a single sash window has one operable sash on the lower half of the window. The top sash is stationary or fixed. This means you can slide the bottom half of the window up and down, but you can’t move the top half. You can only get ventilation through the bottom sash of the window. A double-hung window has two operable sashes. You can slide the top or bottom half of the window up and down to improve ventilation, allow cooler air in, or release warmer air. This is particularly useful for two-story homes.
