Double hung windows

Double hung windows feature two vertically moving sash panels. The top panel moved down and the bottom panel moves up. This allows you to open and close both the bottom and top panels independently. Windows can be locked in the open position, helping to keep your home secure if you want to leave your windows open slightly for ventilation while you’re asleep or out of your home for a bit.

Double hung windows lend themselves to openings that are tall and narrow  Some people like them as they are able to adjust the airflow by moving bot the top and bottom panels.  With easy adjustment of sash tensioners, the double hung design appeals to you if you need an easy-to-operate solution. There is the option of fixing the bottom sash in place and to open just the top sash, this  helps to protect against accidents occurring, such as little ones trying to climb out.

Easy maintenance. Double hung windows often come with tilt-out sashes that make cleaning easier, allowing you to clean both the interior and exterior from inside your home. Because minimal maintenance is required, this option is bound to last a pretty long time.
