These three styles of windows—casement, gliding, and double-hung, are the best to let in summer breezes. They’ll maximize comfort and energy efficiency while allowing plenty of natural light to enter your home. All three of these windows will help you maintain a comfortable room temperature over the summer and keep your energy bills down.

Casement Windows

Our most energy-efficient ventilating style, casement windows have an openable sash on a hinge that swings outwards, either vertically (called a casement window) or horizontally (called an awning window). Both styles have a crank handle that opens up the window, directing fresh air indoors.

Gliding Windows

Also called “sliding” windows, our gliding windows are built with an operable passive sash unlike most gliding windows that have a fixed sash. This allows for more versatility, such as easier cleaning or better placement of a window air conditioner. Gliding windows are popular because they’re easy to use and maintain, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of fresh air with the push of a finger.

Double-hung Windows

Unlike most companies that sell a single hung, meaning the top sash is fixed, our double-hung has two sashes that slide up and down separately from each other, allowing for more ventilation and easier cleaning. Having both sashes open allows hot air to escape out the top and cool air to come in the bottom, perfect for catching a cool breeze in hot weather.

1. They are energy-efficient. The fact is that double hung windows are a champion when it comes to improving your home’s ventilation. You can open their two operable sashes at the same time to let out warm, stale air from the top sash, and let in cooler, fresher air via the bottom sash. This allows you to cool your home without relying too much on your air conditioning. But just how energy-efficient your double hung windows are will also depend on the framing material and glass they use.

The double hung windows offered by the premier window company, Renewal by Andersen® of British Columbia use Fibrex® . This advanced composite material can provide the strength and insulating value of wood, plus the low-maintenance performance of vinyl. This allows for windows with a more durable, tighter seal that can prevent considerable energy loss. When paired with our High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun glass, which reduces unwanted solar heat gain, you get some of the most energy-saving windows available in today’s market.

2. Double hung windows are versatile. What makes this window style timeless is its neat and simple design. Double hung windows never look out of place whatever room they’re installed. In fact, you can also customize them so they’re able to work well with any architectural style. The double hung windows offered by Renewal by Andersen® of British Columbia, for example, are available in a wide selection of color combinations, hardware finishes, and grille patterns, making it easy for you to match them with your home’s overall look.

3. They are low-maintenance. Some double hung windows come with tilt-in sashes that make cleaning both sides of the unit easier. Not only that–they may even come with removable sashes, which not only makes window cleanup worry-free, but also safer. That’s because you won’t have to reach over or go outside to clean them.
