Sliding & Double Hung Windows

Are you thinking about window replacement in your home? There’s just one question: what style of new windows should you get? The two most popular options are double and sliding windows. Both improve functionality and both work perfectly in your home. They are both energy efficient, easy to customize and install. Keep reading to learn more about both of these unique window styles and what may fit your home best. 

 

What Makes Sliding and Double Hung Windows Different?

Double-hung windows slide but don’t confuse them with Sliding windows. Hung windows move vertically within the window jamb and sliding windows move horizontally. A double-hung window has two sashes, one on the bottom and one on the top. Each sash typically takes up half of the window space and is connected to a balance system which makes it easy to lift or lower each sash. So one slides horizontally and one slides vertically.  One of the biggest advantages of sliding windows is that they come in larger and longer sizes than double hung windows. Double hung windows usually are used in smaller areas. 

 

Energy Efficiency

The most sought out feature of any window is its energy efficiency rating. Double-hung windows offer excellent energy efficiency while also providing exemplary views. On the market, modern sliding windows are equipped with high-quality window glazing and offer superior thermal insulation, making them an energy-efficient tool. If you go with a Texas window, both options give you supreme energy efficiency. In fact, people who choose windows from Conservation Construction of Dallas can see a reduction in their energy costs by up to 40% Off. This is huge savings and comfort all year long!

 

Ventilation

Both windows offer excellent ventilation. Double hung windows can be opened from the bottom to let breezes in. And since slider windows open to the side they too offer great breezes!

Whichever window you choose you’ll get optimal functionality. At Conservation Construction of Dallas we pride ourselves on the quality of the window and the installation. We install the window correctly the first time so you have optimal functionality and energy efficiency the second the installation is complete.
