What is a Double-Hung Window?

The double-hung window is the sliding window where the bottom and top sashes of a window move up and down to open thus allowing the ideal airflow control. A double-hung window comes with a screen covering the whole window for the bugs' protection.

Double-hung window styles are ideal for rooms with sidewalks, porches, or patios since they open and close without protruding. They are also easy to clean with a tilt in double hung window option for both sash parts.

In the new construction, double-hung windows are not as popular nowadays. Double-hung windows are suited more for victorian houses, highly popular as cottage style or barn double-hung windows. 

Types of double-hung windows:

  • Single pane double-hung windows are not popular anymore and are totally replaced by double or triple pane new double-hung windows. The old-school single-pane double-hung windows overall are not energy efficient.
  • Twin double-hung windows are the best-rated among buyers. You may also position the combination of three or more vertical double-hung windows. 
  • Triple pane glass in double-hung windows provides the most insulation, but to get the maximum performance from the triple glass it’s better to go with fixed, casement or awning windows

Our clients ask

  • What is the advantage of double-hung windows?

    Ventilation. You can control the airflow by opening one or two sashes. With both panels open a recirculating effect is created: warm air escapes outside, while fresh air from outside comes in.

    They are also very easy to clean, due to the tilt-in feature for both sashes.

  • Are double-hung windows more energy efficient?

    Old or poorly made double hung windows can be less energy efficient because the sashes don’t entirely stay in place. This can result in cooled or heated air leakage from your home.

    But as to the high quality and properly installed double hung windows, their sashes fit snugly in the window frame, thus limiting air infiltration. This makes double-hung windows highly energy efficient.

  • What is the standard size of a double-hung window?

    Double-hung windows have always been very popular. Since they are so common, they have a wide range of sizes: from 24 up to 48 inches in width, and from 36 to 72 inches in height.

  • Can double-hung windows have screens?

    Yes, the screens of double-hung windows are located on the outside and cover the whole exterior of the window to protect from bugs. Unfortunately the screens have some disadvantages: they change the aesthetics and keep too much air and light out.

  • How much do double-hung windows cost to install?

    The installation cost of an average size double hung window is about $160-200. The price depends on the size, type of installation and location of the window.

  • How long does it take to install the double-hung window?

    Usually the installation of a double-hung window takes 1-2 hours, including old window removal. The time depends on the location, type of installation and size of the window.

  • What is the difference between single-hung and double-hung windows?

    Single-hung windows are the windows with an upper, fixed sash, and a lower, operable sash. This means that the top part is stationary, and the bottom part can be moved up.

    Double-hung windows have two operable sashes, so you can open both sashes at the same time for excellent ventilation.

  • What is better double-hung or casement windows?

    Double-hung windows are typically more durable, because they have less moving parts.

    Casement windows have crank handles, they are usually the first part that fails.

    Double-hung windows also have a slimmer sash that reduces the thickness of frame and maximizes the glass area.
