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.
