Benefits of Double Hung Windows

Easy to Clean

Unlike single hung windows, double hung windows have two operable sashes. These easy tilting window sashes make cleaning your home’s windows a breeze. With double hung windows you’re able to clean both the interior and the exterior of your windows without having to step outside. This eliminates the hassle and danger of having to use a ladder to clean your windows while simultaneously juggling your cleaning supplies. Double hung windows allow you to keep your windows looking brand new from the comfort of your own home.

Safety Features

With new double hung windows, you have the option of choosing one or two interior locks depending on the size of the window. These locks will give you the peace of mind of knowing they can’t be easily opened from the outside.

In addition, double hung windows have ventilation latches. These ventilation latches are staggered and located on the inside of the window. Ventilation latches will limit the degree to which you’re able to raise or lower the top or bottom sash. You can now have your windows open, but still feel safe knowing they can’t be opened any further.

Improve Air Circulation in Your Home

The double hung window has two operable sashes, which provide an excellent source of ventilation. Double hung windows can be lowered from the top, or raised from the bottom.

Additionally, both sashes can be left open for even more air circulation throughout the home. Since heat rises having the top sash open allows the heat to escape, while having the bottom sash open allows for cool fresh air to enter.

Our ventilation latches will also help to increase airflow. The latches don’t allow the window to open up more than a couple inches. This provides you with fresh air while maintaining the safety you’re looking for.
