Double-Hung Windows (20)
The lower inside sash slides up, and an upper outside sash slides down, improving air circulation and making full screens ideal. Double-hung windows are easy to clean because you can tilt the sash on any of the windows in our tests. Also a smart choice if you plan to install a window AC.
. . .Storm Windows (8)
Storm windows create an insulating layer of air between your windows and the outside, which means they can help keep warmth inside in cold weather and heat outside in hotter climates. Plus, they provide an added layer of protection against the elements during a heavy storm.
