Double hung Vs Single hung windows

What Are Double Hung Tilt Windows?

Double-hung windows share similar characteristics to single-hung windows, both offering a traditional appearance but varying in ventilation qualities. When you install new double-hung windows you will enjoy improved ventilation due to the two operable sashes, open both the top and bottom windows to allow warm air to escape through the top and cool air to enter through the bottom window.

Similar to tilt and turn windows, double-hung tilt windows allow you to open both vertically and horizontally. Offering an easy way to clean and maintain your new windows.

Double Hung Window Replacements

Installation Choices For Double Hung Windows

Full-Frame Vs Retrofitting

Full-Frame Replacement

Full-frame window replacements for double-hung windows are a more comprehensive installation method. It involves removing the entire window, including the frame, for a complete replacement. While a more extensive process, this method allows our installers to check the area for mould or rot to ensure everything is in good condition.

Retrofit Installation

Replacing your double-hung with a retrofit is a simpler process, it involves only replacing the window glass by removing the window sash but leaving the frame intact. This affordable window installation method is only recommended for homeowners whose window frames are still in excellent condition and are choosing to remain with their existing window style.
