What window style is best, double hung/casement/sliding/single hung?
I’m thinking of adding an addition to the house. Debating which is the best window. Double hung or single hung is better to buy a window AC. Single hung to me seems ok since I never open the top of a double hung. Casement windows can capture air and direct it inside but if a person is rough and sloppy, you can break the handle. Sliding windows is easier for a handicapped person but window ACs can’t be used.
I was thinking of single or double hung for some windows and sliding for others. Maybe one side of the addition with one style and another side with the other.
Advice? Also if you recommend a certain brand, let me know. Also wood? Aluminum? Vinyl covered?
I prefer double hung myself but that’s this old house. We’re using double hung windows every where but those places that you can’t get to easily to push up the sash, like over the kitchen sink.
Do go with the vinyl covered, saves a ton of maintenance. If the windows will be exposed to a lot of sunlight and heat, be sure to get the ones with the reflective film to send a large portion of that heat back outside. This will greatly reduce your summer cooling costs.
Brands? I haven’t come up with one I really like yet. With Anderson, you pay for the name, IMHO. I’ve look at some Pella and other manufacturers but haven’t done any real research yet. Our big project this year is the new roof; new windows in some areas hopefully next year.
