History of the Double Hung Window

If you notice the old stand alone farm house in the country, you will see tall trees around the house to provide shade. This has a cooling effect for the house and the surrounding area. These older homes also had a lot of windows that were tall and narrow. The tall windows would project light deep inside the house. This was particularly helpful before electricity when lighting was poor.

 In order to get this cool air from outside of the house to inside the hot house is where the Double Hung Window comes in. By lowering the top sash this allows the rising hot air to flow out and by raising the lower sash a little, allowed cool air from outside to flow in creating a convection effect.

That is the old fashion air conditioning.

Now we know why the
Double Hung Window
was created back in the day!

Lupus Awareness Month

May is Lupus awareness month.  During this month the color purple, the purple ribbon and the butterfly are used to recognize Lupus awareness.  Events are held throughout the month and year to raise funds for Lupus research.  Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs.  Lupus can be very difficult to diagnose and is often very debilitating.  Sadly, there is no known cure for Lupus. Several years ago one of our employees was diagnosed with Lupus.  Seeing her health struggles made us aware of the many in our nation who struggle with Lupus each day.  As a result, all of us at Window Man have supported Lupus awareness month for the past five years.  Each May we pull together a team to walk in the "Walk to End Lupus Now"...

Hello, I’m Rance Kleiber Sr., the owner and president of Window Man Inc. After spending 30 years in the home improvement business, there are a number of reasons I opened Window Man Inc. First, the high pressure sales people don’t respect our time. Also, the poor quality of workmanship and installers with no respect for our home or property. All of these reasons inspired me to open a family owned and operated window company serving the metro area and surrounding counties. I opened Window Man Inc. in 1999. We carry the highest quality products with the best prices and we treat our customers the way we would like to be treated, with respect.

That’s what has made our company one of the best in town, we are down ...
