Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?

Double-hung windows are a popular choice for replacement projects because their vertical design is both familiar and functional. Unlike single-hung windows, where only one sash operates, double-hung windows let you use either half of the window for ventilation.

They’re well suited to rooms throughout the home, including:

  • Bedrooms
  • Living rooms
  • Kitchens
  • Dining rooms
  • Home offices
  • Second-story rooms

The sashes stay within the window frame when open, so you don’t have to account for a window swinging into a walkway, patio, porch, or other exterior space.
