Top Benefits of Double-Hung Windows

Larry Walty II • March 22, 2021

When you take a stroll around your neighborhood, you’ll most likely find out that most of your neighbors’ windows are double-hung windows and for good reason. Double-hung windows are a popular option among American homes since they’re a versatile option that fits any kind of home they’re put in. However, that isn’t their only benefit, as there are a lot more than that. In this post, Larry Walty Roofing, the  commercial roof repair  and window replacement specialist, shares the top benefits of installing double-hung windows.

Increased Natural Ventilation

Since double-hung windows swing open wider and have a greater window area, you can allow more ventilation into your living space. Not only that, but you can also control your home’s airflow. You can open the top and bottom sashes as you please to maximize natural ventilation. The warm indoor air will exit through the top sash, while the cool, fresh air will enter through the bottom sash.

In turn, your window and  roof repair  expert will tell you that you can cool and freshen up a living space quickly. If you want to limit the amount of air you let in, you can adjust one sash, or adjust both sashes precisely to your liking.

Increased Energy Efficiency and Usability

Double-hung windows are a great option if you’re looking to increase your home’s energy efficiency. The sashes have a tight seal whenever they’re closed, and allow for greater airflow with both sashes opened. It’s also easier to operate since the sashes only need to slide to operate. You don’t have to crank or swing them, reducing chances of fatigue, component failure, as well as accidents.
