Why Double-Hung Windows Work Best for Dormers

Picking the right type of replacement window installation for your dormers can be a challenge, but our experts say you can always have double-hung windows as an option. The popularity of double-hung windows cannot be questioned, but what makes these windows great for the dormers of your home? Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City explains the qualities of our double-hung windows that make them your perfect choice.

Limited Space

Although there are some dormers large enough to accommodate wide casement or awning windows, any popular dormer style will have enough room for one or two double-hung windows. You can have at least one double-hung window in narrow dormers or go for two or more for a wider one; you can’t go wrong with this option in terms of style.

Ease of Maintenance

Because double-hung windows are very popular, you won’t have to worry about having trouble with repairs. In fact, our window specialists are so familiar with double hung window repair that we have developed an optimized approach to fixing minor and major issues alike.

Unique Ventilation

A common problem with other dormer options is that they only let air flow in one direction. Double-hung windows can have two separate openings at the same time, allowing air to circulate freely in an area where ventilation is essential to avoiding moisture-related problems.

Versatile Style

Double-hung windows are considered versatile because they work well on their own or when paired with other windows. A picture window installation can be complemented by a double-hung window to compensate for the lack of ventilation or to provide an accent to a larger casement or awning window.
