Double-Hung Windows

Featuring two operable sashes, double-hung windows allow for versatile ventilation and ease of cleaning, making them a popular choice for many homeowners.

A double-hung window can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top with two sashes that move independently. The two sashes are stacked and meet in the middle with a latch that locks the window shut.

Ideal Location

Double-hung windows are simple to clean as both sashes tilt inward for easy access to the interior and exterior glass surfaces. Because double-hung windows ventilate without protruding inwards or outwards, they maximize both interior and exterior space, making them popular choices in entertainment spaces like patios and porches.

Design Style

Double-hung windows are common choices in traditional and farmhouse homes. Adding a simple grille pattern furthers the traditional aesthetic, bringing modest detail and charm.

Also known as: sash windows, double sash windows, double windows, hung sash windows and hung windows
