    5 Advantages of Sliding Windows Over Double-Hung Units

    5 Advantages of Sliding Windows Over Double-Hung Units

    Sliding and double-hung windows share many benefits, such as increased ventilation and unobtrusive design. They may not use the entire opening for inhaling drafts in a way the casement does, but they optimize the airflow effectively. They’re both space-saving, making them ideal for walls that face high-traffic outdoor areas like porches, patios or decks.

    In certain cases, though, sliding units are more suitable than double-hung ones in windows replacement. If you ask Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco, these are the advantages of the former over the latter:

    Sliding windows can mix with modern architectures. The same can’t be said about double-hung units, which have traditional appeal. If you want to outfit your contemporary home with windows with gliding sashes, the design of sliding units would be consistent with its aesthetic.

    2. Elegant Short Wall Solution

    3. Expansive Glass

    They may not be as tall as other windows, but they always have expansive glass area. This is why they never fail to admit adequate natural light and frame panoramic views.

    4. Reliable Longevity

    Experts agree that sliding windows are more likely to outlast other types of windows. They don’t suffer from the common hardware issues other window styles traditionally have.

    5. Easy Operation

    Unlike double-hung units, sliding replacement windows glide horizontally. This means none of their sashes need lifting to operate, reducing their chances of breaking. They use simple mechanics to open and close effortlessly, and maintain smooth operation for the years to come with minimal upkeep.
