What it is

The classic.

Top and bottom sash both move.

A double hung has two sashes in one frame. The bottom slides up, the top slides down, and both tilt into the room so you can clean the outside glass from inside. Open the top a few inches and the bottom a few inches and warm air leaves high while cool air comes in low.

Ours are vinyl frames with Low-E argon glass, a warm-edge spacer, and a cam lock that pulls the sashes tight together. See what is in every window and how one is built.

Where it fits

Where a double hung belongs.

Most of the houses we see.

Bungalows and older two-stories where the original wood windows were double hung. It keeps the look.
Upstairs bedrooms. Tilt-in sashes mean no ladder to wash the glass.
Any opening taller than it is wide.
Bedrooms, where the opening has to be big enough to get out of in an emergency. We check that on every one.

Straight talk

What to know before you pick it.

No style is right for every opening.

Two moving sashes means two sets of weatherstrip. A good one seals tight. A cheap one does not.
Only half the opening is ever open at once. If you want the whole hole open, look at a casement.
Wide short openings, like over a kitchen counter, usually want a slider instead.

Fair questions

Questions people ask.

Do not see yours? Call or text (601) 966-0319 and ask.

Can I get a double hung with grids?

Yes. Grids between the glass, flat or contoured, in the pattern that matches the rest of the house.

Do both sashes really tilt in?

Yes. Lift the tilt latches on the sash and it swings into the room. Push it back and it clicks home.

Full-frame or pocket for a double hung?

Depends on the frame it is going into. We look at the sill and the jambs and tell you which one, and why. Here is the difference.

What colors come in vinyl?

White and tan are standard. Ask about exterior color options when we measure.

Which one is yours?

Tell us how many openings and where. We measure, write one number, and install.
