The windows in your home serve several important purposes. They let in light, open up a view of the street and allow you to ventilate the room. Even the simplest window will protect the room from moisture, wind, cold and other weather conditions. But why are double windows needed, if one layer of the window can also protect from weather conditions? First of all, each camera is a plus for energy saving. In addition to a high level of thermal insulation, double-glazed windows can also provide good sound insulation.

Double-hung windows are very popular with homeowners because both the top and bottom sashes open, offering flexible air flow options.

Benefits of Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows have their advantages:

1. Double insulation. The main advantage of such window systems is their increased thermal insulation qualities. Double glazed windows keep warm air as much as possible, do not allow any drafts. Such windows are in great demand, because they help to save on heating the rooms and save heat. In hot weather, such systems let in much less warm air from the outside, so it will be easier to keep the house cool. The bright daylight will illuminate the room, but the heat from the street will not affect you.
2. Reliability and safety of double glazed plastic windows. Compared to standard glass units, double glazing is a safer and more reliable option. Single glazing can break much easier and faster, and it takes a lot of effort to get inside a double glazed room. While it is easy and convenient to open and close double-glazed windows, breaking them is more difficult.
3. Reduces the amount of condensation inside your windows. Condensation can often form on the windows during the cold season. This not only damages the appearance of the windows, but also prevents natural light from entering the room. In this case, the house becomes darker and darker. Thus, you will also have to increase your heating costs, because the heat will be weakly retained inside. Since double glazing helps to save heat several times better and has an increased thermal barrier, this allows condensation to be reduced several times.
4. Noise isolation. Double glazing does not allow outside noise from the street to enter the room. They help to restore coziness in the room, even in noisy areas.

But its effectiveness and how much you notice these benefits will depend on what you replace and the quality of the product you buy.

Main problems with Double-Hung Windows

There is a downside to this kind of improvement in plastic windows. The main disadvantage is the price. It is difficult to call it a disadvantage, because it is quite natural and logical when the price rises as it improves. Single-chamber plastic windows have a low price and low efficiency, two-chamber windows are already more expensive, but they also cope with their tasks several times better. Another nuance is the large weight of plastic windows with multi-chamber double-glazed windows. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase high-quality fittings, which also affects the price.
