The way your home looks presents the ultimate statement of who you are as a person, so choosing the windows that best fit your needs is an essential decision. The right windows can drastically improve the overall appeal of your San Diego home or office, and raise the market value, curb appeal and even offer significant savings with improved energy efficiency. As today’s market has unlimited options to choose from, finding the windows that are right for you can be somewhat difficult.
Celebrated for their simple and elegant design, vertical sliding windows have been a common choice for centuries, from the Georgian era to the present day. They’re the most common choice in a wide variety of homes and because of their timeless beauty that goes well with different architectural styles. Vertical sliding windows consist of two sashes in a single frame. There are two types of vertical sliding windows, the single-hung and the double-hung window. The single-hung window, often referred to as a sash window, has the top sash fixed, while the bottom sash can be opened. On a double-hung window, both top and bottom sashes can slide up or down.
Many people prefer vertical sliding windows over other types since they’re easy to operate. They can be used in many different scenarios to make your San Diego home more comfortable and enhance its appeal at the same time. If you’re looking to give your home a classic look with a modern twist, vertical sliding windows are a great choice. They work well in almost any room and can be paired with other window types for interesting and exciting combinations.
Benefits
Vertical sliding windows offer a few significant benefits over other types of windows. Since they open and close without protruding, they don’t require any extra space for operation. This makes vertical sliding windows shine in areas with limited available space and make them a perfect choice for walkways, porches or patios. They’re also a great option for areas that need to be ventilated quickly, like kitchens, bathrooms or laundry rooms.
Since their operation requires minimum effort, vertical sliding windows are also a great choice in places where ventilation is required but the window itself is somewhat hard to reach. As vertical sliding windows don’t protrude beyond the frame, it’s extremely easy to add insect or security screens to them. Finally, vertical sliding windows are extremely easy to maintain. The sashes are usually easily removable, which allows you to effortlessly clean both sides of the glass inside your home. Milgard’s double-hung tilt windows feature sashes that tilt inward to enable easy cleaning of the exterior glass.
