One-over-one windows, featuring one section of glass in the upper sash and one in the lower sash, are a familiar feature in many of Denver’s older homes. Although their classic design is not a reason to replace them, their condition could be.
Look for these warning signs:
• Drafts that continue after window sealing
• Soft, rotting, or warped window frames
• Windows that stick, will not close, or cannot lock securely
• Cracked glass or water entering around the frame
• Fog or moisture trapped between the glass in insulated windows
• Rooms that remain noticeably hotter or colder near the windows

Windows can be responsible for up to 30% of your home’s heating and cooling costs. Small issues like drafts or sticky windows can sometimes be fixed with a quick repair. But if you’re still feeling a chill after sealing, or you spot rotting frames or moisture between the panes, it might be time to think about a full replacement for better comfort and efficiency. If it’s time for new windows, you don’t have to give up that classic one-over-one look. Modern options let you keep the style you love while adding insulated, energy-saving glass.
