Double hung windows offer flexibility and ease of cleaning over single hung!

Many customers looking for replacement windows do not fully understand the difference between single hung and double hung windows. Clarification is needed so that you can make an informed choice.

First of all, since both are "hung", it simple means that the opening part of  the window goes up and down. This is the same in single and double hung.

Single hung means that just the lower sash slides up and down in front of the upper sash, which is fixed or stationary. Single hung windows are just as safe as double hung and most of them even have latches that allow the lower sash to tilt in for cleaning ease.

Double hung windows have two movable sashes. They move past each other. Here are two benefits of double hung:

• When both sashes open and when both sashes tilt in, it is easier to clean the outside of the windows from inside your home.
• With double hung, you have the flexiblity to open the windows at the top offering a flexible and safer (against intruders) way to vent your home.
