We install a variety of Simonton windows with personalized features to suit your taste. Whether you want an all-white modern look or a cherrywood frame with bronze hardware, you can get the look you want with either a double hung or slider window.
Want your next set of windows to be more energy-efficient and user-friendly? Double hung windows and slider windows remain the two most popular types of windows. While they’re basically the same except that one opens vertically and the other horizontally, they look and function quite differently.
Why You Should Use Double Hung Windows
Double hung windows feature two movable sashes, whereas a single hung window only has one opening sash. These are especially desirable in rooms with several tall, rectangular windows.
Simonton double hung windows are designed for performance and looks. They’re easier to clean than the old sash windows you may be familiar with, and they seal very tightly. No more worrying about the top sash sagging down and letting in unwanted air!
The key reasons to choose double hung window replacements:
- Ideal for windows that are taller than they are wide
- Opens from top or bottom for your preferred ventilation
- Venting the top sash is a safe choice with small children
- Tilt-in options for easier cleaning
- Works well with window air conditioners
Why You Should Use Slider Windows
Horizontal sliding windows, or glider windows, function very similarly to hung windows. You can add a grid pattern of your choice for style, or enjoy a plain glass with the widest, clearest view possible. If you want a window that’s easy to open but doesn’t require a crank or tilt outward, you want sliding windows.
Simonton slider windows come with many options for colors and finishes, as well as different opening mechanisms. Those called 2-lite sliders have two opening parts while the 3-lite slider has a fixed central pane and movable sashes on the left and right.
Advantages of slider windows:
- Ideal for windows that are wider than they are tall
- Wider views with less obstruction
- One, two, or three sliding pieces for many ventilation options
- Typically less physically demanding to open
- Closes tightly for great energy efficiency
