Double-Hung Window Installation And Replacement Services From Zen Windows
The most popular window replacement option available today continues to be the double-hung window. With a classic window look and unrestricted design options, the double-hung window is a fantastic upgrade for any home window.
Double-hung windows are composed of an upper and lower sash that can be moved up and down independently of each other, with each sash capable of being tilted inward for easy cleaning and maintenance.
The functional qualities of double-hung windows make them ideal for any room in a home, but they provide significant benefits when installed on the second story. Since both sashes can be tilted inwards, double-hung windows make second story windows much easier to clean.

Double-Hung Windows For Any Architectural Style
Double-hung windows are among the most common household upgrades seen today. Contained in a single casement, double-hung windows have upper and lower sashes that make simultaneous movement possible. Typically, double-hung setups are selected to replace standard single-hung windows.
Double-hung windows are most commonly found in these types of architecture styled homes:
- Colonial
- Craftsman
- Farmhouse
- Cape Cod
- Tudor
- Victorian
Since double-hung windows are vertical windows that have sashes that can open from the top and the bottom, they are a perfect way to add air flow and ventilation to any room. They can also be configured with other double-hung windows or paired with picture windows to create the desired look and style.

Double-Hung Window FAQ
What are some of the benefits I can expect from double-hung windows?
Double-hung windows offer some amazing advantages over the traditional single-hung windows that are most often installed during construction. Some of the biggest benefits include:
- Easy to clean: Both sashes tilt inward providing easier access to both panels for cleaning and maintenance.
- Added security: Advanced locking systems and the ability to ventilate using the upper sash help keep your home safe and secure.
- Increased air flow: Both sashes can open independently which provides increased ventilation and air circulation.
- Effortless operation: Spring balances support double-hung window sashes when they open and close, helping them glide smoothly with minimal effort from you.
- Stylish and affordable design options: Flexibility in your design options and budget since the choices available with double-hung windows are practically endless.
Is there a size limitation for double-hung windows?
While we do offer a wide variety of sizes to fit your needs, double-hung windows can be made as small as 15 inches wide by 23 inches tall to as large as 54 inches wide by 85 inches tall.
How do double-hung windows operate?
Double-hung windows are composed of two movable sashes, slightly offset from one another to 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.
Are double-hung windows energy efficient?
While the construction of double-hung windows is designed to increase ventilation, there are some ways to ensure your windows provide optimal energy efficiency for your home.
The frame and sash construction are critical components of a double-hung window’s performance. Vinyl is durable, versatile, energy-efficient, attractive, and the most cost effective material available. Choosing high-quality, vinyl windows like the ones offered through Zen Windows, is a great start to improving the energy efficiency of your home.
Features such as foam insulation, weatherstripping, water barriers, dual-pane glass, and a low-E coating will add even more efficiency to your home’s windows.
