Description

A double-hung window is a type of window that features two sashes, or movable panels, that can slide vertically within the window frame. Both the top and bottom sashes are operable, meaning they can be opened and closed independently of each other.

This design allows for greater flexibility in ventilation, as both sashes can be adjusted to control the airflow entering the room. For example, you can open both sashes fully for maximum ventilation, open just the top sash to let hot air escape while keeping the bottom sash closed for security, or open just the bottom sash for a controlled breeze while maintaining some level of security.

Double-hung windows are commonly found in residential buildings and are popular for their versatility, classic appearance, and ease of maintenance. They come in various materials, such as wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiberglass, and are available in a wide range of sizes to suit different architectural styles and preferences. Additionally, some modern double-hung windows feature tilt-in sashes, which make cleaning the exterior surfaces easier by allowing the sashes to tilt inward.
