Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a single window?

1

Since only the bottom sash moves and the other remains fixed, single-hung windows are ideal for homeowners looking for an affordable window in both replacement and repair.

Can I clean single-hung windows from the outside?

2

Yes. Since the bottom sash tilts in, you can clean both the exterior and interior surfaces inside your house. However, you would have to clean the outer surface of the top sash from the outside since it does not move.

How do single hung windows function?

3

In single windows, the bottom sash slides up to close and open the window while the upper sash remains fixed.

What is the difference between a double-hung window and a single-hung window?

4

The difference between these two window styles melts down to the number of sashes that move. While in single hung windows only the bottom sash moves, in double-hung windows both upper and lower sashes are operable.

Is a single-hung window more energy-efficient than a double-hung window?

5

Yes. This is because the window has a completely sealed and stationary sash, unlike in a double-hung window where all sashes move. The small spaces left between the sashes and frame when the window is closed could allow heat to escape in double-hung windows.
