What Are Single Hung Windows?
Single hung windows are a classic and practical window style where the bottom sash moves vertically while the top sash remains fixed. They are a versatile choice for homes of diverse architectural designs in Calgary remaining true to classic forms for traditional, colonial, and Victorian homes while providing clean lines and pragmatic solutions to contemporary constructions.
Benefits of Installing Single Hung Windows
Their architectural versatility apart, single hung windows offer a myriad of benefits.
Energy Efficiency
Single hung windows offer a high amount of energy efficiency simply because of their design, making them an excellent choice for Calgary’s variable climate. With fewer moving parts, the fixed upper sash and tight-sealing lower sash create a more airtight fit than double hung windows, reducing air leakage and preventing drafts. This improved insulation reduces heat loss from your windows in the winter and heat gain in the summer, helping your HVAC system maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while lowering energy costs.
Noise Reduction
In addition to improved energy efficiency, single hung vinyl windows offer excellent sound insulation. The tight seal between the sash and frame helps reduce outside noise infiltration, making them ideal for homes in busy areas or near roadways. Whether you’re looking for peace and quiet to work in or for a better night’s sleep, single hung windows can significantly cut down on unwanted exterior sounds.
Enhanced Security
Single hung windows can provide high amounts of security since they have a tighter seal and few potential entry points when compared to many other window designs. The locking mechanism is typically reinforced, reducing the risk of forced entry. Additionally, because the top sash remains fixed, it eliminates the risk of accidental openings from the outside, offering an added layer of protection for families and homeowners.
Space-Saving Design
Unlike casement windows that swing outward, single hung windows don’t require more room than they occupy to open, they are a smart choice for high-traffic areas like bedrooms or rooms where space is a constraint. They are also an ideal solution for spaces where a tight layout or furniture placement can make opening windows complicated. Since only the lower sash opens, they can also be a great choice for high windows where an operable upper sash is hard to reach.
Versatile Style
Single hung windows come in many sizes – starting as small as two feet wide by three feet tall – so you can choose one that suits your room the best. Since the upper sash is fixed, you can also change the shape of the upper sash so that it is arched or pointed to suit your design. You can also change grille patterns or place single hung windows close to each other to create panoramic views of the outdoors while giving you high control over ventilation indoors.
Cost-Effective
Single hung window prices are generally more affordable than many other window styles, making them a budget-friendly option for homeowners looking for quality new window installations.
