What Are Double-Hung Windows?

A double-hung window is a type of window that features two vertically sliding sashes, both of which can move up and down within the window frame. These sashes can operate independently of each other. This design offers enhanced control over ventilation and airflow. Common in homes for their classic look and versatility, double-hung windows allow for the opening of both sashes, promoting air circulation while preserving security and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, some modern double-hung windows feature tilt-in sashes, which can be tilted inward for easier cleaning from inside the home.

Why Choose to Install Double-Hung Windows?

Overall, double-hung windows provide a combination of functionality, aesthetics, and practicality, making them a popular choice for homeowners seeking versatile and efficient window solutions.

  • Versatility

    Double-hung windows allow the upper and lower sashes to move, providing flexible ventilation options.

  • Better Airflow

    With two operable sashes, double-hung windows can promote better airflow throughout the room.

  • Simple Maintenance

    Modern double-hung windows feature tilt-in sashes, making them easier to clean from inside the home.

  • Enhanced Security

    Double-hung windows can be securely locked, providing peace of mind for homeowners concerned about safety.

  • Aesthetic Appeal

    These windows offer a classic and timeless look that can complement various architectural styles.

  • Energy Efficiency

    When properly sealed, double-hung windows can help improve energy efficiency by reducing drafts and air leakage.

  • Increased Natural Light

    With the option to open both sashes, double-hung windows can maximize natural light entry into the room.

Typically, bay windows are installed as a three-panel frame with a picture window assorted in the middle. The two side panels are not stationary and allow you to open them if the airflow is your priority. At Standard Windows and Doors, we know what configurations and styles will best match the architectural design of your home. This is important since bay windows can come in a vast variety of designs. Contact us today to get started finding the best window for your needs!

Picture windows are stationary windows, which means they do not open or provide airflow. Think of a picture frame, hence where this unique style got its name. While they’re not the best option if you’re looking to contribute to the flow of fresh air in your home, they’re something to keep in mind if you’re looking to improve the amount of natural light in certain rooms. There is a variety of window styles that are best suited for your home. Give us a call today for more information.

Casement windows are a fantastic way to improve the curb appeal of your home. Like picture windows, they provide an unobstructed view of the outdoors and a tremendous amount of natural light to whatever room they’re in. However, they possess the incredibly useful ability to crank open to allow airflow into your home. For a crank window to accurately be called a casement window, the window must be hinged at the sides and open outward, almost like a door with a cranking mechanism. This allows airflow into your home and is ultimately easier to clean and maintain, mostly due to the fact that these windows don’t have sashes that you’d need to worry about. Awning windows are very similar in style but they are hinged at the top. Give us a call to learn more about these two window styles and their differences.

What classifies a window as double-hung is its unique ability to open both the bottom and top sash. The sashes, or the panes on your window that actively move when you open your windows, can also be tilted for ease of cleaning. You can move both sashes up and down as you wish, giving you various options to optimize air-flow efficiency.
