Double-Hung Windows

Along with the timeless elegance, double-hung windows combine functionality and energy efficiency for your home or commercial project. At Woodwork Manufacturing & Supply, we provide high-quality windows designed to fit your needs, whether you’re remodeling or building new.

What Are Double-Hung Windows?

These windows feature two vertically sliding sashes, meaning both the top and bottom panels can move. This design allows for flexible ventilation and easy cleaning from inside your home. 

Though this window style is seen in traditional homes like Colonial, Georgian, Victorian, and Craftsman styles, it can also complement contemporary designs.

They’re a classic window choice that works well in nearly any room, providing both traditional style and practical functionality.

We partner with trusted brands to offer a wide range of sizes, finishes, and materials, ensuring your windows match your home’s aesthetic and your functional needs.

Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?

Flexible Ventilation

These windows allow both the top and bottom sashes to open, letting warm air escape through the top while fresh air enters through the bottom. This design provides excellent airflow and keeps your rooms comfortable year-round.

Energy-Efficient Seal

Modern windows like these feature tight seals, insulated glass, and durable frames, helping reduce drafts and lower your heating and cooling costs without sacrificing style.

Easy Cleaning & Maintenance

These windows include tilt-in sashes, making it simple to clean both the interior and exterior glass safely from inside your home. Minimal maintenance keeps them looking and functioning like new for years.

Timeless Aesthetic

With their symmetrical, classic design, these windows complement both historic and contemporary homes. Their clean lines and balanced proportions provide curb appeal while blending seamlessly with your interior décor.

Best Uses for Double-Hung Windows:

  • Bedrooms and living areas

  • Kitchens and bathrooms

  • Historic-style homes and renovations

  • Multi-story homes with easy access to tilt-in sashes

  • Anywhere flexible ventilation and classic design are desired

Frequently Asked Questions

What are double-hung windows, and how do they work?

They are windows with two vertically sliding sashes, meaning both the top and bottom panels can move. This allows for flexible ventilation: warm air escapes through the top while fresh air enters through the bottom. Tilt-in sashes make cleaning the exterior glass simple and safe from inside your home.

What materials are available for these windows?

These windows are offered in wood, vinyl, and composite materials. Wood provides a classic look and can be painted or stained, vinyl is low-maintenance and durable, and composite materials combine long-lasting performance with excellent energy efficiency.

Can they be customized?

Of course! These types of windows can be custom-sized to fit unique areas of your home. You can also choose your preferred finish, hardware, and glass options, including energy-efficient or decorative glass, ensuring a perfect match for your home’s style and functional needs.

Are double-hung windows secure?

Absolutely. Modern windows like these include multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames, making them difficult to force open while still providing easy operation from the inside.

Do these windows help with energy efficiency?

Yes. These windows are made with insulated glass, tight seals, and durable frames, which can reduce drafts, improve insulation, and help lower your heating and cooling costs throughout the year.

How are they different from single-hung windows?

The main difference is that both sashes move in double-hung windows, whereas only the bottom sash moves in single-hung windows. This provides more ventilation, easier cleaning, and greater flexibility for interior airflow.
