Double hung or glass block, casement or awning, we explore trending types of windows for your home
Windows have evolved beyond mere openings in walls; they now stand as powerful elements capable of transforming the very essence of our living spaces. No longer confined to mere functionality, windows have become the focal points of modern homes, blending seamlessly into architectural designs while enhancing aesthetics and functionality. The array of window options available today allows you to tailor your home to your tastes and requirements. Whether embarking on a renovation journey or constructing a new abode, delving into the diverse world of windows unveils a realm of possibilities, empowering you to make informed decisions that elevate your space and align with your individual needs and financial considerations.
Double Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are a common feature in homes with classic traditional styling, farmhouses, and bungalows. They feature two large sashes, which can easily slide up and down within vertical tracks, while the sashes can move independently. Their design mechanism allows easy cleaning, especially for upper levels with challenging exterior access. Despite their practicality, double-hung windows can pose safety concerns for children due to the sizable accessible opening when the lower sash is opened. However, they can be made safer by keeping the top sash open for ventilation while locking the bottom sash.
