Two sashes that slide up and down

Double-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows are the classic choice for Northwest homes. Both the upper and lower sash slide vertically, so you can open the top for gentle airflow, the bottom for a breeze, or both at once.

About double-hung windows

Many double-hung models have sashes that tilt inward, which makes cleaning second-story glass possible from inside the house.

A great fit for

  • Traditional, craftsman and colonial homes
  • Bedrooms and living areas
  • Second-story rooms where you want to clean glass from inside

Things to consider

  • Opening size is limited to roughly half the window at a time.
  • Window air conditioners need a compatible opening style.
