Choosing Between Single-Hung and Double-Hung Windows

If you’re planning out your window replacement, there’s a lot to consider. This can sometimes overwhelm you at times, but when you work with trusted window contractors, they’ll help you narrow down your choices and choose the best type of window that will truly benefit your home.

Double-Hung Windows Installation by TEO Construction

If you’re choosing between single- and double-hung windows, but not sure which you should go for, here are some of their notable differences and benefits to your home:

Single-Hung Windows

These are typically the standard option used in many types of residential construction as well as apartment buildings and office spaces. A single-hung window can be opened by opening the bottom sash vertically as the upper sash remains stationary. When opening this type of window, the bottom sash partially obstructs the upper sash.

Compared to double-hung windows, single-hung windows are more affordable as they can cost between 10% to 20% less. While this may not seem like much of a difference when replacing one or two windows, the costs can certainly add up if you’re planning to replace a dozen windows in your home.

Double-Hung Windows

These are built with both the upper and lower sashes operable, providing better airflow and ventilation into your home. These types of windows are often recommended for higher floors, but they also suit just fine on the ground level. The sashes can even be tilted inward so you can clean both sides of the glass, which makes for easier cleaning and maintenance.

While they do cost more, double-hung windows are usually a better investment in the long run because of their better ventilation and ease of maintenance. But if you’re on a tight budget, then single-hung windows should be just right for you.
