FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
What is a single hung window?
A single hung window is a type of window that consists of two sashes, with the top sash fixed in place and the bottom sash movable vertically.
What is the disadvantage of a single hung window?
While single hung windows have many advantages, one disadvantage is that only the bottom sash is operable, limiting the airflow compared to double hung windows. However, this can be overcome by strategically placing multiple single hung windows in different areas of your home to maximize ventilation.
Are single hung windows better than double-hung windows?
The choice between single hung and double hung windows depends on your specific needs. Single hung windows are typically more affordable and require less maintenance. On the other hand, double hung windows offer greater flexibility in ventilation as both sashes can be opened, allowing for better air circulation.
What is the difference between single hung and sliding windows?
Single hung windows have a vertically movable bottom sash and a fixed top sash. On the other hand, sliding windows have horizontally movable sashes that slide past each other.
