Single Hung Windows
Many homeowners ask us what are the main differences between single and double hung windows. Before selecting a model, you should clearly identify the difference between the two and make sure you choose the style that will best match your home or office.
The design of the single hung window is ideal for offices and apartments. The main characteristic of this type of window is that the lower part of the frame can be opened while its upper part remains fixed. Before you stop on this model, it is advisable to take a look at all the varieties and styles available.
Finally, although this classic window style does not change over its lifetime, you still need to make sure these windows are professionally installed. Professional installation of this type of window as opposed to improper installation will make all the difference in its lifespan.
A single hung window is durable!
Just like double hung windows, single hung windows have their own peculiarities. Durability is obviously a major factor to consider when purchasing or replacing a new window. It is important to verify the type of material used in the construction of the window that you will choose. For example, if you prefer the style of single hung windows, you would benefit from the richness of wood grain that only wood windows can provide. On the other hand, this prevents you from taking advantage of the properties offered by other types of material that are less delicate than wood. For example, fiberglass and vinyl are options that give you better durability and require less after-sales service.
Easy maintenance
A single-hung window doesn’t require a lot of effort when it comes to cleaning or repairing it. There is only one sash that opens outward making it an ideal choice for tight spaces that require good ventilation. If you choose the right type of glass for these windows, they will increase the energy efficiency of your room even during the bad weather months.
