What Is a Double-Hung Window?

Double-hung windows look like standard windows, but they offer a unique benefit with two operable sashes. The window can be opened from the top, bottom, or both at the same time. This allows you to customize the ventilation in your home and maximize how much fresh air you let into your house. These windows may be customized with different colors, grid patterns, and finishes to ensure that they are a perfect match for your home.

Why Double-Hung Replacement Windows Are a Smart Choice

While any type of replacement window is a great investment for your home, double-hung windows offer some distinctive benefits, including:
  • Safety Features – Double-hung windows lock when closed, and you can ensure the safety of children and pets by only opening the top sash of the window. These windows also feature night latches that do not allow the window to open more than a few inches, so you can enjoy a cool nighttime breeze without worrying about your home security.
  • Flexibility of Use – You’ll have the ability to maximize airflow for better ventilation and reduce your reliance on your air conditioner.
  • Extensive Style Choices – With Castle Windows Mid Atlantic, you’ll have a wide range of design choices to explore for your double-hung windows. Enjoy a variety of colors, trims, grid patterns, and more to achieve the exact look you want.
  • Easy Maintenance – One of the best features of double-hung windows is that each sash tilts inward so that you can easily clean the entire window surface.
