Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double hung windows combine traditional vertical operation with modern energy-efficient performance. Designed for Ontario homes, these vinyl windows offer timeless appeal, reliable functionality, and the added convenience of tilt-in sashes for easy interior cleaning.
Available in both single and double configurations, hung windows provide flexible ventilation while maintaining a clean, balanced appearance.
What Are Hung Windows?
Hung windows operate vertically within the frame.
-
Single hung windows feature a fixed upper sash and an operable lower sash.
-
Double hung windows include two operable sashes, allowing ventilation from both the top and bottom.
Modern hung windows are designed with tilt-in functionality, allowing the sashes to tilt inward for safe and convenient cleaning from inside the home—similar in ease to tilt-in slider windows, while preserving a traditional look.
Features
Why Choose Hung Windows?
Timeless Architectural Design
Hung windows offer a symmetrical, classic appearance that complements traditional and transitional homes.
Tilt-In Cleaning Convenience
Both single and double hung windows can include tilt-in sashes, making exterior glass accessible from inside—ideal for upper floors and multi-storey homes.
Flexible Ventilation
Double hung windows allow airflow from the top, bottom, or both, helping improve circulation and indoor comfort.
Space-Efficient Operation
Unlike casement windows, which swing outward, hung windows operate vertically within the frame—making them suitable for areas where exterior clearance is limited.
When paired with double or triple-pane insulated glass and Low-E coatings, hung windows help reduce heat transfer and support year-round energy efficiency.
-
Hung windows are often chosen for their traditional design and vertical operation. However, homeowners may compare them with other window types depending on their needs:
-
Casement windows maximize outward ventilation.
-
Awning windows allow airflow even during light rain.
-
Slider windows (tilt-in or lift-out) offer smooth horizontal operation.
-
Bay and bow windows expand interior space and increase natural light.
-
Many homes combine different window styles to balance airflow, ease of cleaning, and architectural consistency.
