What are the advantages and disadvantages of single hung windows ?

Which is better, double hung windows or single hung windows?

Single-hung and double-hung windows each have their own features, advantages and

disadvantages, and choosing which one is better depends on your specific needs and budget.

Here is a comparison of the two types of windows:

Cost: Single-hung windows are relatively less expensive, while double-hung windows are more

expensive, about 20 per cent more expensive than single-hung windows. However, this is just an

initial purchase cost analysis.

Maintenance: In terms of maintenance, single-hung windows may require the use of special

equipment or the hiring of a professional company to clean or repair them, whereas double-hung

windows are less expensive to maintain in terms of cleaning. The design of double-hung windows

allows both panes to tilt inward for easy cleaning, while single-hung windows are more difficult to

clean because the exterior of the top panel does not tilt inward.

Ventilation: Double-hung windows are more ventilated because they can be opened on both sides,

whereas single-hung windows can only be opened on one side.

Security: Double-hung windows are more secure because they can be locked in the centre position,

whereas single-hung windows can only be locked on one side.
