Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows are America's most popular window style, featuring two independently operating sashes that slide vertically. Both the top and bottom sashes move, providing superior ventilation control and easy cleaning access. Perfect for any room in your Frisco home.
Why Choose Double-Hung Windows?
Maximum Versatility
Both sashes operate independently, allowing you to open from the top, bottom, or both for customized ventilation. Create airflow patterns that suit your comfort needs.
Easy Cleaning
Tilt-in sashes let you clean exterior glass from inside your home. No more dangerous ladder work or hiring window cleaners for upper floors.
Classic Style
Traditional vertical sliding design complements any architectural style from historic to contemporary. Timeless aesthetics that never go out of fashion.
Energy Efficient
Modern double-hung windows feature weatherstripping, Low-E glass, and argon fills that deliver excellent insulation and reduce energy costs.
Safety Features
Secure locking systems at the meeting rail, plus the ability to open from the top for ventilation while maintaining security at ground level.
Wide Selection
Available in numerous sizes, materials, colors, and grid patterns. Customize to match your home's aesthetic perfectly.
How Double-Hung Windows Work
Operating Mechanism
Modern double-hung windows use spring-loaded balance systems that allow both sashes to glide smoothly up and down. Unlike old-fashioned weight-and-pulley systems, these balances are hidden in the frame, require no maintenance, and provide consistent operation for decades.
The sashes lock together at the meeting rail (where they overlap in the middle) with a secure latch. Many models also include additional locks for enhanced security.
To clean, simply unlock the sashes and tilt them inward. The sashes pivot on hidden hinges, giving you full access to exterior glass surfaces from the comfort and safety of your home's interior.
Ventilation Options
Bottom Sash Only: Open the bottom sash for standard ventilation. Cool air enters from below while warm air exits through any other openings.
Top Sash Only: Open the top sash to let hot air escape while maintaining privacy and security. Particularly useful for bedrooms and bathrooms.
Both Sashes: Open both for maximum airflow. Creates natural convection as cool air enters low and warm air exits high.
Partial Opening: Slide sashes to any position for precise ventilation control. Lock them in place when desired.
