Are you planning to get new windows? A single or double-hung window might be perfect for your home. To know for sure, learn the pros and cons of each window style. In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento will explain the pros and cons of both types.
Pros and Cons of Single-Hung Windows
Single-hung windows are easy to operate. You just slide them upward. You can also open them partially or fully to ventilate your room.
There are some limitations to this window type. You can only operate one pane because the top sash is fixed. Airflow is also limited because escaping indoor air and outside air coming in push against each other.
Pros and Cons of Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows have two operable sashes. You can open them simultaneously to maximize indoor airflow. They’re perfect for reducing humidity and heat in kitchens and bathrooms. Furthermore, you can find them in a wide variety of styles and colors. Check out Renewal by Andersen of Sacramento’s double-hung window collection. That said, double-hung windows have higher initial costs but are worthwhile investments if they are made from high-quality material, such as Fibrex® from Renewal by Andersen.
