What Is a Double-Hung Window?

Double-hung window example diagram.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.
