Double-hung windows are the most common window style for good reason. Both sashes slide vertically, which is why they are sometimes called vertical sliding windows. You can open the top, the bottom or both for ventilation. They fit almost any architectural style and work in nearly every room.
But double-hung windows that stick, rattle or let drafts through are costing you comfort and money. If your windows have reached that point, double-hung window replacement restores the easy operation and tight seal you expect. The team at Renewal by Andersen builds replacement double-hung windows with Fibrex® material, designed to slide smoothly and hold their seal for decades.
If you notice any of the following signs, you might need to replace your double-hung windows:
If two or more of these problems exist at the same time, it is usually more cost-effective to install new windows rather than continue repairing an older, less efficient window.
The frame determines how long your window performs the way it should. Vinyl can warp in direct sunlight and lose its shape over time. Wood requires ongoing maintenance and eventually rots if moisture gets in. Aluminum transfers temperature and causes condensation.
Fibrex® material is strong, does not absorb moisture and holds its dimensions through temperature extremes. Because it is stronger than vinyl, Renewal by Andersen can build narrower frames that give you more glass and a better view.
A design consultant visits your home, measures your openings and reviews options with you. Once you decide, the team builds your windows to order. Trained installers manage the full installation, from removing the old frame to securing the new unit.
Every replacement double-hung window from Renewal by Andersen is built to your measurements. You can customize your window with a wide range of colors, hardware finishes and grille designs. Pick from 11 hardware finishes and several grille patterns to match your home’s character, whether that is colonial, craftsman or something more contemporary.
