ENVIROGUARD double hung window

Double Hung Windows

The double-hung window is the most common style of window available, consisting of two window sash. Both upper and lower sash slide up and down on a double-hung window.

Impervious to rot and insects, the ENVIROGUARD™ BT30 block and tackle double-hung window series is not only pleasing to the eye but also durable. Constructed with the highest quality cellular PVC, these windows have all the natural characteristics of wood, including great appearance–without the shortcomings of wood. They won’t rot, peel, splinter, decay, absorb moisture–and they have enhanced screw-holding power.

Unlike vinyl windows, our cellular PVC double hung windows can be painted, look like real wood, and offer more glass space.

Finishing

ENVIROGUARD™ comes with a primer coat that carries a 10 year warranty. Enviroguard should be painted with standard oil base or latex paint using industry standard painting techniques after cleaning.

ENVIROGUARD should not be painted with dark colors (any color that falls within the L value of 56 to 0) L is a measure of the lightness of an object, and ranges from 0 (black) to 100 (white). Sherwin Williams Vinyl Safe Paint or Valspar Ultimate Premium Paint are recommended.

Beginning April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices.

Double Hung Window Options

ENVIROGUARD double hung windows have many choices for each of the following options:

Casings

With over 50 case moulding styles to choose from, there is an ENVIROGUARD brick mould and interior casing to match almost any architectural style.

Grilles/Grides

Our custom millwork heritage enables us to create beautiful windows with either true divided light (TDL) or simulated divided light (SDL). For SDL windows, grilles can either be placed on top of the glass or between the glass.

Grille options also include choice of style and color.

Glass

We offer many choices in glass styles and coatings. Argon gas can also be applied between the glass panes to create even greater energy efficiency.

Window latches are offered in either white or bronze.

Screens

Screens are available for all standard sizes and can be made for custom sizes.
