| Single
Hung Vinyl Windows
Single hung vinyl
are a great choice for cost effective performance.
They're not expensive, but are quite effective.
Insulated glass is always the key. If you get
that in a vinyl frame....you're in good shape for
thermal efficiency.
There are several
different manufacturers we use for this unit.
Alsides makes the Excalibur, X-act has a very impressive
unit, and Don Young Company has just released their
latest offering. Glass thickness and features
vary. Some are essentially a builders grade
unit. Some are considerably better. We
recommend different models based on location of home,
time estimated to live there and overall budget concerns.
Here in Dallas we have a lot of very narrow windows and bow windows. These are excellent examples of good places for single hung windows as single hungs have narrower frames than do double hungs. Single Hungs are also more energy efficient windows than double hungs because the top sash is glued in place.
We offer a quality 3 1/4" main framed window with only a 2 3/8" profile. This is very rare in the window industry. It is one of our recommended window products and a great choice for value and performance while keeping as much glass as possible.
Most Double Hung Windows have a 3 3/4" profile. This means a double hung has 2 3/4" less glass than does the Single Hung. This is very significant in narrower windows.
