Slider vs Double Hung Windows: Which is Right For You?

Picking the right replacement window isn’t always easy; especially since there are so many different styles to choose from. While the options can sometimes appear to be endless, a lot of people often debate whether they should go with a slider or double hung window. Before we reveal our ideal choice, it’s best to define the difference between the two first.

Which Window Style is Right For You?

Most of the time, you should choose a double hung window. Found in most homes and apartments, these windows are incredibly versatile. In addition, double hung windows are quite efficient: if installed correctly, they can help keep heat out in the summer, and the cold out in the winter.

That said, slider windows have advantages too: they are particularly useful for promoting ventilation. Best suited for rooms with only 1 window, consider installing one facing a backyard or garden. This will give you plenty of fresh air.
