Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?
As with any architectural detail, looks are everything. Double-hung windows have a traditional feel, as they’ve been widely used since at least the 17th century.
- Beauty. A classic window adds instant appeal, refreshing the look of any home or business.
- Easy to clean. Some are designed to tilt inward, making it convenient to clean the sashes.
- Energy-efficiency. Modern sash windows have a strong rating in U-value, resist heat gain, and minimize air leakage, making them excellent for keeping the outdoors outside.
- Design versatility. The options are nearly endless. Aside from size and shape, custom muntin bars are also an option.
- Historic home friendly. One of the most commonly approved window types by the LPC, and can include the traditional wavy glass.
Signs Its Time To Replace Your Windows
While properly installed quality windows typically have a life span of 25 years or more, these signs let you know if one or more of your home’s windows need replacement.
- Higher energy bills. Are your heating and cooling costs rising? Your windows could be why, as leaky windows waste AC and heat. Installing new energy-efficient models keeps your costs down and your home more comfortable.
- Rotting frames. Years of rain and snow exposure can cause some frames to decay. If your window frames feel soft to the touch, are discolored, or have gaps in their miter joints, it’s time to replace them.
- Condensation. A sign of poor window insulation, condensation occurs when the seal between the window panes is broken.
- Noise issues. Older windows often don’t provide sufficient sound abatement. Energy-efficient windows absorb outdoor sound waves before they enter your home.
Lastly, your windows might be worn out due to age. If your windows are 20 years or older, it’s probably time for an update.
Is It Better To Replace All Windows at Once?
The three main reasons homeowners replace their windows are:
- Curb appeal
- Interior aesthetics
- Window function
While you might think it’s less expensive to replace only problem windows, there are other factors to consider.
As long as your budget permits, it’s often more cost-effective to simultaneously replace all your home’s windows. If you want to stretch the project out over a year or two, consider doing it in phases, replacing windows on each level or side of the house at a time.
