Double Hung Windows
Modern or Traditional
Double hung windows consist of a top and bottom panel that slide vertically; either the top sash comes down, or the bottom sash goes up independently of the other.
The benefits of Double Hung Windows
1
Double Hung windows can give your house a modern or traditional look. They are ideal for a home with eaves that allow you to open the top sash and not worry about the change of weather.
2
They are also great with roller blinds, as you can open the bottom section only and have the blind partially down without it flapping around in the wind. The optional vent locks allow the sash to be locked in a partly open position (available on aluminium WideStyle window only).

FAQs

How does double glazing save on energy bills?
The thermal resistance reduces heat loss in winter and prevents unwanted heat from entering in summer, reducing reliance on air conditioning and heating.
Is double glazing effective for soundproofing?
Yes, the dual glass layers and sealed air gap significantly dampen medium to high-frequency external noises, such as traffic or flight path noise.
