double-hung vs sliding windows

One benefit of working with Woodbridge Home Solutions is that we offer free in-home consultations to help you select the right products for your home. This guidance is particularly helpful when it comes to choosing windows.  

After asking a few questions and examining your space, our staff can help you select a window style that makes the most sense for your room. Here are some thoughts about two of our most popular options – double-hung windows and sliding windows.

Double-Hung Windows

It’s easy to see why double-hung windows are popular with many homeowners. Double-hung windows (sometimes called double-sash windows) have two operable sashes that slide up and down. Both the top and bottom sashes can open to provide more ventilation. 

Woodbridge Classic vinyl double-hung windows are all made with heavy-duty, maintenance-free materials. They are designed for fingertip operation. However, they also come with superior locks and hardware that promise longevity and security.  

Benefits of Double-Hung Windows

  • Double-hung windows are easy to clean because both sashes tilt in and open. 
  • Woodbridge Classic Double-Hung windows come with many design options, which can improve your home’s interior and exterior style. 
  • Double-hung windows are an excellent choice for spaces requiring additional ventilation – without sacrificing security. For this reason, they are a perfect choice for bedrooms – especially those for young children. 

Sliding Windows

Sliding windows (sometimes called gliders) open horizontally by sliding along the top and bottom of a window track. While these windows require you to exit your home to wash the window’s exterior, there are benefits to this window style. 

Our sliding windows feature triple-paned glass, insulated frames, and high-performance silicon wet glazing. In addition, they are made from heavy-duty vinyl and aluminum that resists fading and damage, making these new windows for your house virtually maintenance-free.

Benefits of Sliding Windows

  • Because gliders create an unobstructed view of the outdoors, they can make smaller homes feel more spacious. 
  • Sliding windows are often lower and broader than traditional window designs. This makes them ideal for rooms with low ceilings.
  • Because they open fully, sliding windows are excellent for low-ventilation spaces, such as condos with only front and rear windows.
  • Sliding windows aren’t only an excellent choice for small spaces. Many sliding windows, especially those that feature three or four panels, have a wide design that brings balance and elegance to large areas.
