Vinyl window frames expand and contract from the heat and cold 800 times more than our Ultrex pultruded fiberglass. It expands 652% more than the glass that it frames. The constant expansion and contraction cause the plastic frames to pull away from the glass causing seal failure making the windows incapable of proper energy efficient rating.

double-hung window Advantage
Double-hung windows have certain advantages over single hung
windows, which have a stationary top sash. Double-hung windows are an easy type
of window to keep clean because both sashes tilt in for easy access to the
inner and outer surfaces of the glass. Lowering a top sash allows heat to more
easily escape from a room. Also, if a window is located directly below a
projecting eave, lowering the top sash may still be an option even during rainfall.

Double Hung Windows CLASSIC STYLE
The double-hung window style is probably the most classic
design of all replacement windows, and it's easy to use. The tilt wash feature
where you can clean the outside of the window from inside your home is
particularly popular. For spaces that require emergency access, we have a
double-hung egress window. You can choose from standard double hung window
sizes, custom window sizes, or even twin double-hung windows to fit the needs
of the required space.
There are a lot of factors that go into choosing a new
window, from the style to how easy it is to clean. It's important to get the
right fit for your home based on your particular needs. A double-hung window
has two operable sashes that move up and down. The sashes are locked shut with
a latch located where they meet in the middle.

Difference Between Single Hung and Double Hung Windows
The main difference between a single hung vs double-hung window is how the two operate. A single hung window has a fixed top sash and an operable bottom sash that moves vertically. In a double-hung window, both the top and bottom sashes are operable.
Single vs Double Hung windows
Both the double-hung and the single hung share similarities, both have two shashes and upper and a lower sash. The major difference lies in the upper sash. It's stationary on single-hung windows whereas it is an operable sash on double-hung windows. That one change leads to a number of differences in the functionality and performance of each style.
Are Single hung Windows more Energy Efficient
Single-hung windows are typically thought of as being more energy efficient because they have less moving parts. However, according to the US Department of Energy, with most other manufacturers both single and double-hung windows, tend to have higher air leakage rates than hinged windows. Most manufacturers double-hung windows specifically don't always seal properly at the top edge of the frame, leading to higher costs on your monthly electricity bill.
Casement Windows VS Double Hung?
When it comes to taller window openings, the two styles of operable windows to choose from are Double Hung Windows and Casement Windows. We'll review the two styles and show you how they compare against each other.
Casement windows open outward like a door on the hinges on the side of the window, using a cranking mechanism. They also allow you to clean the outside of the window from inside when you crank them open fully. The downside to this style is with most other manufacturers the risk of bending the hinges slightly out of shape because of strong breezes or the weight of very large window sashes.
Infinity from Marvin Double-Hung Windows has more advantages in this category because they don't require space outside the window to open and close and because of the higher quality of parts, there's generally no risk of operation mechanism damage.
Sliding Window vs. Double Hung
It can be very confusing trying to figure out which type of windows are going to work best in your home. Since replacing windows is a big decision it's something that homeowners want to be sure of before they make a decision.
Most people aren't exactly sure what the difference is between standard double-hung window, twin double hung windows double sliding window and a horizontal sliding window except the double-hung replacement window goes up and down and the double sliding window moves left to right. This is just one of the reasons we come out to your home to meet with you. It is always best to ask our professional consultant about designs and options.
