When it’s time for a window replacement, consider double-hung windows. These are a popular choice for many homeowners in Denver, CO, and around the country because this window type is well-suited to various home styles due to its classic look and durability.
In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Denver discusses other advantages of choosing double-hung windows.
Energy Efficiency
Double-hung windows feature two panes of glass separated by an air pocket. This provides better insulation from outside temperatures than single-pane glass does on its own. Double-hung windows can also lower energy bills as less air escapes through gaps or cracks in the frame during extreme weather conditions.
Low Maintenance
The frames and sashes on these types of windows don’t require much maintenance other than occasional cleaning. Double-hung windows don’t warp or rot over time like wood frames do when exposed to moisture or humidity levels outside their range of comfortability. They also tend not to be affected by age since they last longer than traditional materials used in window frames.
Adaptability to Various Styles
Double-hung windows work well with different architectural styles because their classic look allows them to fit into virtually any style without looking out of place. Even homes with modern designs often opt for these versatile windows instead of more contemporary ones. For professional advice on how double-hung windows can boost your home’s curb appeal, consult a window replacement expert.
Excellent Insulation
Winters experienced at higher altitudes can make heating costs expensive if proper insulation isn’t considered when selecting building materials. Fortunately, double-hung windows offer excellent insulation that helps keep heat inside during colder months while allowing light and fresh air through when desired.
