What are double hung windows?
You’re probably wondering what exactly a double hung window is. It’s not two windows side-by-side if that’s what you’re thinking. As opposed to a single-hung window where the top glass panel (or sash) doesn’t move or open as it’s fixed in place, the primary feature of double hung windows is their dual-sash design, which allows both the top and bottom sashes to slide vertically. So, you can open this style of window from the top and the bottom, either separately or both at the same time.
Benefits of double hung windows
Being able to open the window from two points creates a multitude of advantages including:
Ventilation control: As both sashes can be opened at the same time, it proves the opportunity for dual ventilation, allowing cool air to enter and warm air to exit simultaneously.
Easy cleaning: Who doesn’t want windows that are easy to clean?! The ability to slide both panels of glass makes cleaning a dream. Some double hung windows are also able to be tilted providing the opportunity to clean both sides from the comfort of your home.
A great use of space: With sashes that slide up and down rather than opening inwards or outwards, double hung windows are ideal for spaces where space may be limited.
Secure option: Many double hung windows come with advanced locking mechanisms, providing enhanced security for homes and businesses.
A durable window choice: High-quality double hung windows are built to last, requiring minimal maintenance over time.
Where can you have double hung windows?
Although this type of window can be used in a variety of settings, they are better suited to certain rooms in your home of business.
- Bedrooms: What better way to have beneficial airflow than in a room where you spend time sleeping and relaxing. This style of windows can help create a comfortable and airy environment day or night.
- Living/lounge room: Double hung windows have the ability to open up a space, allowing more and light to enter a well-used area of the home.
- Kitchen: If your kitchen is a spot you like to cook, entertain and spend time meal-prepping, double hung windows are perfect for ventilation. They’re also easy to clean when it comes to remove grime and dirt.
- Business/office space: For business settings, double hung windows not only offer an elegant appearance but can also improve air circulation, contributing to a healthier work environment.
