What Is a Double-Hung Window?
Double-hung windows are composed of two movable sashes, slightly offset from one another to operate (open and close) vertically within a window frame. Unlike single-hung windows, the upper sash on a double-hung window can be lowered, and the bottom sash can be raised to create ventilation and frame a lovely outdoor view.
Double-hung window sashes also tilt, so you can easily reach the outside surface for cleaning as needed. St. Louis homeowners often install twin double-hung windows, which are two double-hung windows side-by-side.
To make your double-hung windows unique, choose a window grid (also called a grille) to add character to your windows, such as New England or Prairie style. Your selection of hardware and finish completes the design of your replacement double-hung windows.
Our double-hung windows come in a variety of sizes, materials, colors, and options. At Zen Windows St. Louis, we offer three lines of replacement windows, each offering different prices and features.
- Karma: Our base-level double-pane window, the Karma offers energy-efficient glass options with fusion-welded sashes and frames.
- Nirvana: The Nirvana line is a step above the Karma line. It offers everything the base model does but includes extra features like foam-filled frames and a heavy-duty vent lock for maximum efficiency.
- Lotus: This triple-pane window comes with Ultra S and Solar Ultra S glass options and is reinforced with fiberglass for maximum security. The Lotus isn’t only our highest-quality window, it’s also our bestselling model.
Our double-hung windows offer half- and full-screen options. For a similar appearance, consider single-hung windows, which look quite similar but only open from the bottom.
Double-hung windows are generally more expensive than single-hung, but call (314) 399-0856 or request a quote today to quickly find out for yourself.
Benefits of Double-Hung Vinyl Windows
Consider these reasons to install double-hung vinyl windows in your St. Louis home:
- Easy to clean: Removable and tilt-in sashes make for easy cleaning — no ladder required.
