The stationary sash can come in a wide variety of shapes such as arched, eyebrowed, gothic or a customised configuration of your choosing. The type of materials, trim and finish can also be tailored to your personal preferences.
Air Conditioners And Screens
Single hung windows provide an ideal footing for in-window air conditioners. The air conditioning unit sits on the window sill while the opening sash is pulled down snugly on top of it and fixed into place. If you tend to experience hot summers and need to run a seasonal window air conditioner to keep cool, single hung windows make the installation simple. Single hung windows also make it easy to install a window screen to keep out any insects when the window is open.

Locking the window requires very little effort and results in a simple, yet secure, seal. Opening a locked single hung window from the outside is virtually impossible.

Will my home comfort improve after installing energy-efficient windows (and doors)?

First off the insulation around your windows and doors is replaced with insulating foam which fills every void that might have been present resulting in more drafts.

retaining cooled air and help to control indoor humidity throughout the year.

When do I know that I need to replace my windows?
You can actively identify if your windows need to be replaced by being aware of the following:
- You notice fog, condensation, or moisture on your glass consistently. When the view through your window becomes hazy like this it usually indicates that a seal has failed.
- Certain areas of your home become faded from where the sun enters the window. This could be furniture, carpeting, or even hardwood and it means you need to upgrade windows because your current models are allowing harmful UV rays to enter your home.
- Your current windows are not rated for the new climate regulations. Colder climates require a higher ER rating to satisfy energy efficiency recommendations. Your windows are grandfathered in and a replacement isn’t mandatory, but just know the amount of energy you are losing by having these lower quality units installed.
- If your windows are having difficulty opening, closing, and locking it could be time for replacement windows or at the very least a repair. Having a window that doesn’t properly open is a violation of building codes and is a huge safety risk in case of a fire.
- Rotting or pealing wood means the windows are past their prime and ready for replacement. The older your windows are, obviously, the more likely this occurrence will be.
