Larger Window  

Sliding windows provide better view. These windows  can get more light into the room. Because the frame of the window is a bit thinner, than double hung window has it. You can open sliding windows  wider in case you need some extra ventilation. 

Better Efficiency

Easy Maintenance 

When it is time to clean these windows you don't have to hire any professional to do it. You can do it yourself by popping out the sliding window frames and wash them inside the house. When you are done washing them you can just put them back without any big effort. 

More Durable 

You decided to replace your windows, because they are not functioning well. With sliding windows you have less chances that something is going to go wrong. Double hung windows fail, because their spring system fails. When that happens, the double hung window is not operating well. While the sliding windows do not have any springs and that provides better longevity.

Let us look at the benefits of the Double Hun Replacement windows. These types of windows are the most popular in Hamilton NJ and Willingboro NJ. 

Air Conditioner Friendly

When you don't have central air condition in your house, you can insert one into the double hung window. Just open the bottom sash, install A/C, extend the wings and you should be good to go. With sliding windows air conditioning is not going to fit well, because of the void above it. 

Easy to Clean 

Double hung replacement windows are easy to maintain as well. Both sashes of the window tilt in to the house, so you can do all the cleaning from the inside of the house. When you are done washing your windows, just flip back the windows sashes and you should be good to go.
