Double hung windows are a favorite among Overland Park homeowners. They feature two sashes that move up and down, providing improved ventilation and easy cleaning. Double hung windows in the Kansas City and Overland Park KS market are usually installed using the "pocket" installation. This type of installation is very cost effective and is minimally invasive. The interior trim many times is left untouched, and the exterior trim is cladded in aluminum. Advantage Window Solutions can replace your rotted sills and brickmould, with PVC non rotting trim that can be painted to match your home's current exterior trim.
Another option is removing the entire window frame, which is called a rough opening installation. While this installation does cost slightly more, it will give you a slightly larger window and allow for spray foam insulation between the new window frame and the framing of the home to create a better seal.

Dual and Triple Pane Glass Options
Since 80% of your window is glass, selecting the right glass package is a very important step in the window buying process. Glass is rated by two main factors. First is SHGC which stands for Solar Heat Gain Coeffiecient, this number will tell you how well the glass deflects heat. Our Smart Guard 3KR IS can have SHGC as low as .18. This is a great option for west and south facing windows. The other important rating is the U-Factor. This number will help determine the insulating value of your window. The Simonton Comfort Smart windows can have U- Values as low as .14 total window with an R-value of 7 . This is done with the Energy Guard 3KR IS glass with Krypton filled triple pane glass. Both of these triple pane glass packages come with an interior low-e. These are two of the most efficient glass packages ever made.
Most of customers though choose the Dual pane Smart Guard or our triple argon filled Energy Guard3. These two are the best value in window glass. Typically we can add Smart Guard dual pane glass (SHGC .19- Great fo Solar Control) for $35 on a standard double hung window or operating casement window. The Energy Guard3 triple pane glass ( SHGC .22 and U- factor of .22) can be added for $80 per window on a typical double hung or operating casement window. If the window needs to be tempered, then the cost is higher depending on the size of the window. Energy Guard3 has a U-factor of .22 and SHGC 0f .22. This is the best value in the window industry today. Please note these values can slightly go up or down depending on window size and whether or not you have grids or muttons between the glass.
