Double Hung Windows: Preserving Your Home’s Aesthetics

If you have a classic-style house, you may be wary of investing a window replacement in case the new windows clash with your home’s traditional look.  Here, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania explains how replacing your old units with double hung windows can actually help preserve your home’s existing aesthetic.

What Are Double Hung Windows?

Double-hung windows are the most popular window style in the country thanks to their traditional design and convenient functionality. As the name suggests, the panes are double hung, and you operate them by sliding them up and down.

The majority of classic-style homes feature double-hung windows. This is because their simple yet effective design makes them easy to fit into many different types of traditional homes, and also quite easy to install. If you are looking for window replacements that won’t compromise your home’s existing classic aesthetic, you can’t go wrong with double hung windows.

Functional Benefits

Double-hung replacement windows have many functional benefits in addition to their aesthetic perks. They don’t require any modification if you want to install a screen or even an air-conditioning unit. Since these windows slide up and down instead of sideways, all you need to do is pull up the window pane to install an AC or a screen.

Easy Maintenance

Window cleaning is tedious and time-consuming, which is just one more reason to invest in double-hung windows, as they are far easier to clean and than the alternatives. In fact, some variants have a tilting lower glass pane that makes it even easier to clean, especially for units in the upper floors.

Sometimes, it’s the classic design that’s truly the best design. Let Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania help you with your window needs in Harrisburg, PA. Call us today at (717) 591-4900.
