#1. Easy Cleaning Double Hung Windows

Many double hung windows today are designed to be easy to clean. On these easy-to-clean windows, each sash can easily be lowered to a height that is easy to reach. In addition, double hung sashes are designed to tilt inward, making the outside of the window easy to reach from inside the home.

The benefits of easy to clean double hung windows:

• Easy to maintain. You can clean all sides of the windows from inside your own house, and don’t need to hire a window cleaning service to get the work done.
• Safe. You won’t have to risk your personal safety to clean the outside of your windows from a ladder – everything can be cleaned as you stand safely on the floor inside your house.

#2. Double Hung Windows Have Excellent Ventilation

With both sashes being easy to move up and down, double hung windows provide excellent ventilation indoors. To eject warm air near the ceiling, simply lower the upper sash. To allow cool air into your home, open the lower sash.

Want to do both? Try lowering the upper sash half way and opening the lower sash half way, so they overlap in the middle of the window. Double hung windows provide excellent ventilation throughout the summer and during times when temperatures inside the house are just too stuffy and warm to be comfortable. They’re also great in kitchens to ventilate cooking smells or smoke.

#3. Double Hung Windows Have Aesthetic Flexibility

Double hung windows have the look of a classic window, so they seem to fit with many architectural styles. You can even customize your windows with window grilles to match a particular architectural style or to create a style that’s all your own.

Renewal by Andersen of Long Island windows can be made with a variety of grille patterns, including custom grilles that meet your needs. There are even three different application types to meet your needs:

Full Divided Lite Window Grilles, which have grilles on the inside, outside and between the glass
