Double-hung windows offer better energy efficiency, functionality, and more.
Double-hung windows are a traditional option for Kannapolis, North Carolina homes, providing a combination of functionality, style, and energy efficiency. These windows have two moveable sashes that slide vertically, providing ventilation from the top, bottom, or both simultaneously. This design not only improves air circulation but also provides flexibility when it comes to airflow management.
Over the years, our team at Speaks Custom Window & Sunrooms has installed many double-hung windows for homeowners in our area, allowing them to take full advantage of the benefits they offer. For instance, beyond better airflow, this style of window is also easy to maintain. Many newer designs incorporate tilt-in sashes, which makes it much easier to clean the external panes, even from inside the house. They are also compatible with a variety of architectural styles, from traditional to contemporary, and may be modified with different materials, finishes, and grid patterns to suit your aesthetic preferences.
If your home needs a window upgrade, we suggest considering double-hung windows, as they typically last between 30 and 40 years. That being said, if your home already has these windows installed, you might wonder what signs indicate the need for replacement. One of the most obvious signs is difficult operation. If the sashes no longer glide smoothly or remain open without assistance, the window’s balance system may have worn out. Additionally, drafts, moisture between panes, and significant increases in energy expenditures might all indicate that the windows are no longer providing appropriate insulation.
