Single Hung Windows
Single-hung windows are available in both new construction or replacement window styles. The chief advantage of the fixed window is that it limits air intrusion, since there are fewer seams that must be blocked with window seals. As time goes by, window seals begin to dry and hard, creating cracks which allow for air seepage. Also, some fixed windows may be less expensive than double-hung or casement windows, due to fewer mechanical parts.
