Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?

Double-hung windows are operable from the top and bottom sections of glass. With their traditional style that can match any home’s architecture, these windows remain one of the most popular window styles in U.S. homes.

This, however, is only one of many advantages that make these a top choice for replacement windows in Cheyenne, WY. Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming explains how double-hung windows can greatly benefit you and your home.

  • Excellent Ventilation

Double-hung windows have the ability to control airflow, while providing superior ventilation. You only need to open the top and bottom sections of the window. This will allow cool, healthy air to enter through the bottom sash, while expelling warm, stale air through the top sash. Your home’s indoor air quality will improve, reducing the health risks involved with polluted indoor air. It also helps lower your energy costs, as it maintains a comfortable interior temperature without the help of your HVAC system.

  • Safety

Double-hung windows neither crank out nor project outwards, eliminating the risk of accidents in high-traffic areas in your home. You can also open these windows all day without worrying about anyone pushing on it and falling out. Like your casement window in Douglas, WY, this window style is fully lockable, discouraging threats to your home’s security.

  • Easy Maintenance

This window option offers ease of maintenance, as well. A double-hung window often comes with tilt-out sashes that make cleaning easier. You can rotate the window and clean both the interior and exterior from inside your home. Some models even come with removable sashes. You’ll only need to inspect and make sure that your window’s hardware is lubricated to keep it in good shape. This minimal need for maintenance assures you that your window will last long.

When you’re ready to switch your old and tired windows for newer, better ones, call Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming. Our double-hung windows have Fibrex® frames, providing excellent weather protection while preventing air infiltration and leakage. This will keep costly heating and cooling energy trapped inside your home. Your choice of advanced Low-E glass will also help your home maintain a pleasant indoor temperature. It will block harmful UV and IR light to minimize heat radiation without compromising access to plenty of natural light. This will keep your interiors free from sun damage.
