Our double-hung windows are engineered to provide secure, easy-to-operate solutions that cater to your home’s needs. Here are some reasons why you should choose double-hung windows for your next window upgrade:

Effortless Operation: The unique sash system allows you to move both the top and bottom sashes smoothly, ensuring effortless operation for years to come. The advanced glazing options available further enhance the energy efficiency of the windows, helping to reduce air loss in both summer and winter.

Energy Efficiency: Double-hung windows are known for their energy-efficient design, featuring tight seals that keep air from escaping. This helps reduce heating and cooling costs, making them a wise investment for homeowners looking to cut down on energy bills.
Security & Protection: Our double-hung aluminium windows are equipped with fast-action cam locks for added security. For additional peace of mind, the sashes can be locked with a key, offering increased protection from unwanted access.

Frequently asked questions

What are double-hung windows?

A double-hung window is made of two separate window panes in their frames which are called sashes. These top and bottom sashes are stacked on top of each other within the frame on the wall. Both sashes can be slid up and down to allow outside air to flow through.

Just like awning windows and sliding windows, double-hung windows can have more secure features added, including security screens and safety glass.

How to lock double-hung windows?

If your double-hung windows did not come with locks, you can purchase a variety of locks from hardware stores that are compatible with double-hung windows. These locks can be simply attached to double-hung windows from the inside of your home and locked with the provided key.

Are double-hung windows energy efficient?

Double-hung windows can be an energy-efficient glass window option if you are looking to reduce your energy use. They can be opened wide if you would like to allow airflow throughout your home.

However, when closed, the seals are tight, which is perfect if you would like to stop air from escaping through your window during the summer or winter months, reducing the amount your air-con is used.

There are also different glass quality, tinting, and glazing options, giving you further control over how much heat, chill, and energy efficiency you want to allow through your double-hung windows.

How to clean double-hung windows?

All double-hung windows can be fully dismantled so they can be properly clean. To disassemble, slide the first sash a few inches up, then squeeze the latches on the top of the sash in and gently pull the sash towards you so it sits at a 90-degree angle. You can then lift the sash up to remove it from the window frame. You can then repeat this to remove the other sash in the double hung sliding window.

Once you wipe down the windows and the frame, you can reassemble the sashes into the frame. You can do this by inserting them one at a time into the window at a 90-degree angle, then rotate it up to be vertical to the window frame, squeeze the latches in to let the sash click into the window frame. Repeat with the second sash.

Which is better, double-hung or single hung windows?

The key difference between a single and a double-hung window is that a single hung window has its top sash fixed into the window frame and cannot be slid down or removed. In contrast, a double-hung window allows you to slide and remove both window sashes. Custom windows can also be double-hung or single-hung.

Double-hung windows typically cost more because of their added features, allowing you to dismantle the window to clean it thoroughly. If you want to save a little money, a single hung window may be a better choice for you, giving you the same look as the double-hung window but is a little trickier to clean and won’t give you as many ventilation options as a double-hung window.
