Choosing Between Single and Double-Hung Windows

Single- and double-hung windows are two of the most popular choices for window replacements among homeowners for a variety of reasons. Both of these window styles offer benefits such as a timeless appearance, easy operation, minimal maintenance, and improved energy efficiency of your home. However, knowing which of these two window style options is best for your home can be a challenge. The Window and Door Outlet Inc., has put together a guide to help you choose between single- and double-hung windows for your home.

Single-Hung Windows

Unlike double-hung windows, a single-hung window only has one operable sash that slides up and down to open the window. In terms of price, single-hung windows tend to be less expensive than double-hung, so they are a great choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their home on a tighter budget.

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows have two operable sashes that open and close vertically. The main advantage they have over single-hung windows is the superior ventilation they provide. Thanks to their double sash, double-hung windows can allow more air flow from the outdoors into a room than single-hung windows and are perfect for homeowners looking to enjoy the refreshing breeze from the comfort of their homes.
