CHOOSING BETWEEN SLIDING
AND DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS
 When to Use Sliding
 Since sliding windows tend to be wider than they are tall, they are
best for wide walls. If you have a very wide space that you want to
open up with a window, or you want to add a window up above a
door, a kitchen sink, or another compact space at the top or bottom
of a room, a sliding window is the best option of the two. It can be
operated comfortably even at height, and is adjustable enough to
offer excellent ventilation.
 When to Use Double Hung
 Since double hung windows are set up in a vertical orientation, they
are best used on narrow walls where you have more vertical space
to cover than horizontal. They can be accessed comfortably,
cleaned with ease and offer excellent ventilation, even when they
are the only window in the room. Consider adding double hung
windows to bedroom walls, bathrooms and any other space where
you have a narrow wall that you want to open up with a window.
