Single hung windows are basically like their double hung counterparts with two sashes, one above the other. The only difference is that with a single hung window, only the bottom sash can be lifted up and down for ventilation purposes while the top sash stays in place. While single hung windows are the lesser known between the two types, a lot of homeowners choose them to replace their existing windows and even for new construction.

The most significant edge of single hung over double hung windows is their cost. They are more affordable given that their top sashes don’t require an operating mechanism thereby keeping the cost down.
