Homeowners should compare prices, contractors and products before deciding on vinyl window installation. Double-hung windows are among the most popular replacement vinyl products for traditional and modern home styles.

Quality, double-hung window products combine the strength of steel-reinforced frames with the durability of a vinyl coating. Residents can choose from window styles with tilt-in sashes, making them easy to clean--even on the second floor. In addition, designer grids can be installed between double panes to provide a continuous, smooth cleaning surface without sacrificing aesthetics.

Homeowners comparing double-hung vinyl windows should look for multi-chambered, extruded frame structures, which trap air to provide greater insulation around the opening's perimeter. Reinforced corner construction assists with structural stability, and extruded lift balls simplify opening and closing. Many companies offer their replacement vinyl frames in several stock colors to accommodate residents who wish to match their home's trim or base color.

One of the additional benefits of double-hung windows is that the upper and lower sashes move, making it easy to control air flow through a home. Products can be installed with equal-sized sashes or with an asymmetric design, depending on the climate, the home's style and the desired sash use.
