Hurd Unveils Easy-to-Install Double-Hung Wood Window Replacement Option with New Upscale Aesthetic
New Wood Concealed Jambliner Option for Double Hung Sash Kit added to line up.
Medford, WI – January 19, 2010 –Hurd Windows & Doors announced it is offering a fresh new take on its Double Hung Sash Kit replacement products adding a wood concealed jambliner option to its line-up. This product now not only allows homeowners to easily replace a window sash with a beautiful new wood sash, but it also allows them to enjoy a beautiful wood jambliner to match – eliminating unsightly, unauthentic plastic.
Hurd Vice President of Marketing Joe Herman said, “While we have offered a sash kit for years, what’s new is that for the first time we are offering an upgraded concealed jambliner option for a more elegant, higher-end appearance.” He explained that the new wood concealed jambliner provides homeowners a greater choice of a less-expensive replacement options, so they do not have to compromise on upscale aesthetics or the authentic, historic appeal of wood.
Generally, Hurd sash kits can provide an economical and environmental solution for builders and homeowners. “More than ever, people are paying attention to cost and waste. Why get rid of soundly-constructed frames when just the sashes can be replaced? Sash replacement kits give consumers the option of recycling what they have, saving some money and improving the aesthetics of their home in the process. They are a nice way to upgrade to new, energy-efficient windows with today’s latest technology without having to experience the expense, mess, and damage associated with removing the old ones.”
Herman noted that provided the existing frame is serviceable, double hung sash kits offer the performance and design options of a new window by replacing just the sashes and balance systems. Hurd’s sash kit is a complete sash replacement system with everything one needs, including straight-forward instructions. They are simple, easy to install, and offer the ability to cleanly upgrade an old double hung window without tearing up the wall or even replacing the trim.
The new wood concealed jambliner option features a complete wood interior. That means no more unsightly plastic jambliners. Best of all, Hurd's sash kits are available in a full range of Hurd options. Consumers can have their choice in glazing, wood, color and hardware to complement any home. The prefinished option comes in your choice of three factory stains (Ultra Stain) or white (Ultra Coat).
