Replacement windows can help increase your home’s energy efficiency and resale value. Sliding windows are one of the most popular window styles on the market, and they’re available in two formats: single and double.
In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania shares the difference between single- and double-sliding windows.
Single-Sliding Windows
Single-sliding windows are a popular choice for modern homes because they provide a good amount of natural light and ventilation. They are designed with a stationary sash and another that slides to the left or right. Single-sliding windows are a great option, especially for homes with limited space requiring more ventilation.
Double-Sliding Windows
Double-sliding windows work in a similar way as single-sliding windows, except both sashes can be opened. This allows more air to enter the room, which is especially helpful if the wind in your area constantly changes directions. Double-sliding windows are often recommended for larger spaces due to their size.
Which Should You Buy?
Single- and double-sliding windows are both excellent choices. However, it’s important to consider a number of factors before making your decision. Take into account the size of the room and how you plan to orient the windows, the climate in your region, and the design of your home. Window professionals can also offer their recommendations based on your specific needs, so consult experts before purchasing new windows.
