Why Homeowners Replace Older Double Hung Windows
Many older double hung windows begin to show the same problems over time. The sashes can become
harder to open, the locks may no longer feel secure, air leakage becomes more noticeable during hot
or cold weather, and aging glass packages often do little to help with year-round comfort. In some
homes, paint buildup, frame movement, or worn components make ventilation frustrating instead of easy.
Replacing outdated windows is not only about appearance. It is also about improving the way the home
feels day to day. Rooms that are too warm in the summer or too cool in the winter often make the need
for replacement obvious. Modern double hung replacement windows are built to operate more smoothly,
seal more effectively, and support better thermal performance with upgraded glass and spacer systems.

What Makes Double Hung Windows a Popular Choice
A double hung window uses two operable sashes, giving homeowners flexible airflow control and a look
that works well with many traditional, transitional, and updated residential styles. That balance of
familiar appearance and everyday practicality is one reason this style remains such a strong fit for
bedrooms, living areas, front elevations, and multi-story homes.
For many homeowners, the biggest advantage is versatility. You can bring in fresh air with more control
than a fixed unit while maintaining a clean, symmetrical profile from the inside and outside of the home.
When matched with modern insulated glass, Low-E coatings, argon-filled configurations where applicable,
and warm-edge spacer technology, double hung replacement windows can also support a more comfortable
interior environment throughout the year.
SunTek Double Hung Window Options
SunTek Exteriors offers double hung replacement windows across three distinct product tiers so homeowners
can choose the right balance of performance, features, and budget. Instead of forcing every project into
a one-size-fits-all recommendation, we guide you through a practical good-better-best structure.
SOLR 3000 Series
The SOLR 3000 Series is our practical performance tier. It is built
with fusion-welded frame and sash construction and includes clear double-pane insulated glass, a warm-edge
spacer system, and argon gas fill where applicable. For double hung configurations, a standard half screen
is included, with an optional full screen upgrade available. Homeowners can also choose an oriel
configuration for modified sash proportions.
This tier is a strong fit for homeowners who want a dependable, streamlined vinyl replacement window with
clean styling and efficient everyday performance.
SOLR 7000 Series
The SOLR 7000 Series is designed for homeowners who want an upgraded
level of energy efficiency and design flexibility. This series includes a multi-chamber vinyl frame system,
reinforced interlocking meeting rails, continuous meeting rail weather sealing, foam-filled insulated frame
extrusions, fiberglass reinforced thermal inserts, and an advanced glass package with Low-E coating and
argon-filled insulated glass.
The SOLR 7000 also expands finish and design choices with additional exterior color options, interior
woodgrain selections, approved grid styles, and a pet screen upgrade for homeowners who want added
customization without moving to the top-tier series.
SOLR 9000 Series
The SOLR 9000 Series is the premium performance tier in the SunTek
window lineup. It features fusion-welded construction, a heavy-duty multi-chamber vinyl frame,
an advanced weather-seal system, reinforced meeting rail design for double hung units, heavy-duty
locking hardware, warm-edge spacer technology, and argon gas-filled insulated glass where applicable.
For homeowners focused on top-tier efficiency, structural strength, and expanded design flexibility,
the SOLR 9000 is built to support long-term performance with a premium residential feel. Full screens
are standard on double hung units, and oriel configuration is available.

to start. If you want stronger thermal upgrades, more finish flexibility, and additional structural features,

flexibility, and a higher-end overall package, the SOLR 9000 is the best fit.
