If you’re looking for a way to save on your utility bill in Philadelphia, consider double-hung windows. Elevated Remodeling offers a wide range of styles and materials to suit varying preferences for energy efficiency, aesthetics, and maintenance.
In a city like Philadelphia - with its hot, humid summers and cold, sometimes snowy winters - energy-efficient double-hung windows can do a lot for your home - improve its insulation, keep it cooler in the summer or warmer in the winter, and block drafts and moisture.
Elevated Remodeling’s double-hung windows offer all these advantages and more. Read on to get the full scoop…
On the company's website, you'll find an extensive report intended to help Philadelphia residents make informed decisions about the suitability of double-hung replacement windows for their homes.
What is it about double-hung windows that makes them stand out when it comes to energy efficiency? As the report explains, their design features two movable sashes at the top and bottom, allowing you to better control your home's ventilation. You can open the top sash to let warm air escape or the bottom to let in cool air - which can help you get through Philadelphia’s muggy springs and summers.
In the report, you'll also learn about all the different material options available to you, based on your preferences for aesthetics and maintenance, besides energy efficiency. If you're prioritizing aesthetic appeal, for example, you might like wood, but it also requires regular maintenance. Vinyl, on the other hand, is affordable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance.
If you have a larger renovation budget, you may choose fiberglass for its durability, but if ease of use is what you're after, you may prefer aluminum’s light weight. If you're looking for a trifecta of durability, energy efficiency, and style, you might like a hybrid material that combines wood’s classic look with vinyl’s weather resistance and superior insulating properties.
With such a variety of materials and styles available, you have numerous options to suit your architectural preferences, whether you favor a historic or a modern design. Moreover, as the guide describes, double-hung replacement windows offer you several other benefits:
While double-hung windows have their benefits, there are also some potential drawbacks you should consider. The report describes these as well, to give you the full picture - with factors like:
