Double Hung Windows
The most versatile replacement window: both the upper and lower sashes open and tilt inward for effortless cleaning and balanced top-and-bottom ventilation — a timeless look that suits nearly any home.
Versatile, easy-to-live-with replacement windows
Double hung windows are the most popular replacement style for good reason. Because both the top and bottom sashes operate, you get flexible ventilation, effortless cleaning, and a classic proportion that complements traditional and modern homes alike.
- Both the upper and lower sashes open and close
- Flexible ventilation from the top, bottom, or both
- Classic, versatile appearance that fits many home styles
- Simple, intuitive operation for everyday use
- Sashes tilt inward so you can clean from inside the home
