Double Hung VS Casement Window

Double hung is a window type that has two sashes, one is on the top, the other is on the bottom. With the top sash slides down, the bottom sash slides up,the window provides flexible ventilation. It opens vertically, which makes it a safe window as it doesn’t take up any inside or outside space, only the opening. Some people say it is an updated siding window with vertical opening, since the horizontal opening of sliding window is hard to get good sealing as the it slides on a linear track. Double hung window is considered to be perfect pairing for traditional or classic architecture, especially when designed with colonial style grilles. Homeowners just love it.

Germany style casement window is a window type that usually has one sash. (When there are two sashes, it is usually in French style.) Its opening ways can be inward or outward swing in a horizontal directions. (Noted tilt -turn window is one of modern casement windows, more information please visit www.doorwingroup.org) Inward casement window is easy to operate and and clean both sides as it opens from inside with 180 degree angle. Casement window adds modern elements to a home.

One of the greatest convenience of double hung and Germany style inward swing casement is: both sashes are able to turn inward to allow for easy cleaning, which keeps the windows remain clean. However it lacks good sealing as there is still a track for the sash to slide on. Another convenience of Germany style casement window is it gives homeowners maximum ventilation and the best sense of sealing and security. Although it takes up inside space when inward opening and can be dangerous when outward opening. Compare with double hung, it seals tighter and more energy efficient. Casement window provides modern elements while double hung window remains classic styles.
