Shop Double-Hung Windows

Single-hung windows are typically more energy efficient than double-hung windows because one of the sashes is sealed and stationary.

When cleaning double-hung windows, tilting the sashes in makes it easy to clean exterior surfaces from the interior of your home. Clean the top sash first, starting with the exterior and followed by the interior, and then repeat the same process on the lower sash.

Double-hung windows have two sashes that slide up and down independent of one another. They can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top with sashes that tilt in for easy cleaning.

The difference between single-hung and double-hung windows is the number of sashes that move. A single-hung window has one fixed, or non-operable, sash and one operable, or moveable, sash. A double-hung window has two operable, or moveable, sashes.
