Fort Worth Double-Hung Windows

Popular Local Trends & Styles

• Energy-Efficient Windows

  Historically, double-hung windows have had one pane of glass. Today, double- and triple-pane options are available for better insulation. Energy-efficient windows use insulating gas in between multiple layers of glass to help create a barrier between you and the elements. Look for replacement double-hung windows with the ENERGY STAR® rating for superb energy efficiency.

• Mid-Century Modern Windows Mid-century modern design is not quite as popular as the ranch style homes that have proliferated around Fort Worth, but the clean lines and subtle elegance hold a unique appeal among area homeowners. Double-hung windows are popular in these houses because the horizontal sashes provide clean lines and highlight the flat architecture.
• Black Double-Hung Windows

  Across the country, homeowners, including those in the state of Texas, are finding themselves attracted to black window frames. Black has long been synonymous with elegance, and while a crisp black finish provides the striking contrast commonly associated with contemporary style, this color is no longer reserved for any one particular style of home.

• Wood Double-Hung Windows

  Wood is  a popular window material among today’s homeowners thanks to its natural insulating properties and timeless style. The insulating properties are especially relevant to Fort Worth homeowners conscious of the climate’s high-wind weather events. Consider a traditional grille pattern to enhance the timeless look of your double-hung windows.

•   How do I choose the right paint or stain for my wood windows?

  • Stained Wood Interior Finish – Pella strongly recommends the use of a good-quality pre-stain wood conditioner before staining Pella windows and patio doors to reduce the possibility of a blotchy-looking, uneven finish. Ask your paint or finishing professional to recommend a pre-stain wood conditioner, a stain and a finishing coat that are compatible.
    
    Painted Wood Interior Finish – The most important consideration to make when choosing your paint is good blocking resistance — the ability of a paint to resist sticking. Failure to use a high-quality paint with good blocking resistance may result in a window or door that sticks shut, even after the paint has dried. Ask your qualified paint professional to recommend a paint with good blocking resistance. Don't simply rely on a paint's price or brand name in making your selection. Expensive paint may not necessarily offer good blocking resistance. Also, ask your paint professional to recommend a wood primer and paint that are compatible and whether sanding is required between coats of paint.
