    Didn't expect to comment on a window video today but really wanted to say how great and informative this was. A true expert and great salesperson. Loved how you explained the pros, the cons and the true purpose of each so we could make an informative, trusted decision. If I lived anywhere near Houston, I would be an immediate customer. Thank you!

With all the information given, the consumer can now make a decision as to what best fits their needs and the most expensive is not always the best. It depends on what best fits your needs. Thank you, Sir

    So why wouldn't you use the option to remove the double hung while cleaning instead of two people? I've been doing it for 30 years on mine all alone.

    • @HoustonWindowExperts
      @HoustonWindowExperts  Před rokem +1

      You can remove the bottom sash and the top sash if you would like. I've just found that many of my clients have trouble getting it positioned back in correctly. Like I said in the video, it's just a matter of preference.

    My old landlord replaced my kitchen with a double hung tilt window and one day the top pane dropped fell and broke into the kitchen while we were at work. I’m just happy my Rottweiler didn’t get hurt or get out

  • @isaacholzwarth
    @isaacholzwarth Před rokem +3

    I clean windows professionally and occasionally make use of the double tilt windows. The bottom sash, in my experience, you can just tilt the bottom sash all the way down till it rests on the bottom frame of the window, and then tilt in the top one. Have never had a problem doing that?
    Also, he demonstrates at the end that the sashes are removable, which is another option when cleaning alone. Everything else was great information, but the cleaning issue was over exaggerated.

    • @HoustonWindowExperts
      @HoustonWindowExperts  Před rokem +2

      Issac, you're a pro. I don't think it's super difficult but if you were like me and had over 100,000 windows installed in people's homes, you'd realize that getting a few calls a month about this and having to dispatch a service tech can get expensive.
      I don't have much preference for either option except I see the drawbacks to DH not worth the effort or expense unless someone really wants it.
      Thank you for watching and your comment.

      @@HoustonWindowExperts I understand that you probably get lots of calls about this. But that doesn't mean that in this video you have to make it look like you have to be a gymnast to clean the windows, that doesn't seem like it would help the situation, haha.

    May have missed it but didn't see in any of the comments that one disadvantage of the single hung is that you additionally have to remove the screens to clean the windows versus not having to do that with the tilt-in double hung.

    I have double hung windows but as far as cleaning I hate monkeying with the tilt mechanisms to clean. I got a squeegee and handle from Lowes (single story) and some concentrated window cleaner. Mix in a bottle and spray and I can clean them just as quick. So my next windows will be single hung. Plus I prefer a narrower frame look and the weather tight advantages for those cold winter winds.

    Thank you, thank you. I'm not crazy. My husband was insulted when I told him I didn't like his double hung windows. We have two whole porch walls full of them. I gave him all the reasons you illustrated, without my having ever seen or heard anything before, regarding windows. I just based my opinion on what I observed with those windows. I told him I didn't think they were as energy efficient as the old fashioned ones. He thought I was nuts, and just shook his head. I knew I wasn't, but now, thanks to you, I have proof that I'm not. He even showed me the so called, easy way, to wash them. I told him I prefer the old way of getting on a step ladder, to do the job outside in the sunshine. Great video. Thanks.

    Great video. Came across your channel while researching vinyl window replacements. I live in the Atl area and am recently retired and plan on this to be a DIY project. As you stated, moving frames without panels is a game changer for me, and I am part of that 20% that does clean so therefor leaning toward double hung tilt. On a lighter side, had a good chuckle at time 14:55 when you said, “if a lawnmower hits your window. . ”.

    So much good information.
    I'm looking for double hung so we can have the top open to get air.
    Are all screens for double hung go up and down or do some have the hidden slide screen like casement windows do?
    I also want to be able to easily clean top and bottom from the inside. We have 26yo Anderson's that rotted out at the bottom about 17 years in. Just replaced a casement triple window in our kitchen with Marvin signature triple casement with hidden screens and want to gradually replace other double hung with Marvin double hung
