Double hung windows are extremely popular with homeowners for many reasons including:
1.Ease of Use: Double hung windows are easy to operate, to open all you need to do is unlock the window and slide a sash either up or down. The sashes glide easily along a track.
2.Easy to Clean: Both the interior and exterior of double hung windows can be cleaned from the convenience of inside your home. Because both sashes tilt inward, you are able to wipe both sides of your glass easily.
3.Versatile: Double hung windows can be manufactured in a variety of sizes and colors to match any area of your home. They can also be combined with other window styles to fill in larger window openings.
4.More Ventilation: Because the window is able to be opened from both the top and the bottom, it allows for additional airflow.
5.Safer: If you have young children or pets in your home, you may be concerned about leaving your windows open. With double hung windows, you can open the top sash only, making it safer for kids and pets.
6.Air Conditioner Compatible: If you rely on a window air conditioner to cool your room, you know that not all window styles are compatible with these AC units. Double hung windows accommodate window air conditioners better than most other window styles.
