Double-Hung Windows For Any Architectural Style
A double-hung window consists of two pieces: An upper sash and a lower sash that can move up and down within the framing. These windows most commonly replace standard single-hung windows in homes, but can be placed anywhere a current window stands.
You can most often find double-hung windows incorporated in the architecture of many homes, including:
- Colonial
- Craftsman
- Farmhouse
- Cape Cod
- Tudor
- Victorian
Many different window styles can be paired with double-hung windows on your home to provide the perfect look, including picture windows. And because they can be opened from the top or bottom, double-hung windows offer the perfect balance of aesthetics and ventilation.

Double-Hung Window FAQ
What can I expect when I have double-hung windows installed in my home?
Once you have double-hung windows installed on your home, you can expect to see a major advantage in both energy efficiency and airflow. The biggest benefits homeowners see with a double-hung window includes:
- Easy to clean: In addition to moving up and down in the track independently, each sash can tilt inward for easy cleaning and maintenance.
- Added security: Combined with advanced locking systems, the top sash can be opened instead of just the bottom. This keeps the air moving throughout your house while preventing intruders from breaking in.
- Increased air flow: You control how your home is ventilated by opening only the top sash, the bottom sash, or even both.
- Effortless operation: With spring balances supporting the window sashes when they open and close, your windows will glide smoothly in the track, making it effortless to move them up or down.
- Stylish and affordable design options: Zen Windows can help you find the right combination of design, colors, and budget.
Is there a size limitation for double-hung windows?
Double-hung windows can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The smallest window we can install is 15 inches wide by 23 inches tall, while the largest we can do is 54 inches wide and 85 inches tall.
How do double-hung windows operate?
A single-hung window only has one sash that can move up and down (usually the lower sash). But like the name suggests, double-hung windows consist of two sashes (an upper and lower sash) slightly offset from each other which can move independently to create the perfect level of ventilation and air flow for your home. Both sashes also tilt inward, making it easy to clean and maintain them as needed.
Are double-hung windows energy efficient?
Like many modern windows, double-hung windows come with energy-efficient options built in. Even though both sashes can move up and down, a closed window will still keep the elements outside and your home comfortable.
Both the window frame and construction work together to ensure your energy bills stay low. Vinyl window frames provide a durable and versatile look for your Pittsburgh home, as well as an economically-friendly option. Paired with foam insulation, weatherstripping, water barriers, dual-pane glass, and a solar low-E coating can help improve your energy efficiency.
