Single & Double Hung Windows
Single and double-hung windows are the kind that "slide" up and/or down. Single hung means one frame can move, double hung means both frames move. We install many brands that make these, but our go-tos are Marvin Windows, Provia, and Target Windows. We have a straightforward installation process that we follow at each home.
Window Types
Advantages of Single and Double-Hung Windows
Single-Hung
- Cost - You get at least a 10% savings compared to double-hung windows.
- Security - Single-hung windows are harder to break into. You can also get these installed with stoppers.
- Custom sash heights - If you want the bottom sash to be smaller than half the window, single-hung windows are great. Bottom sashes can be a third or a quarter of the full window.
Double-Hung
- Easier cleaning - Most window manufacturers have a tilt-in option (tabs) for cleaning the outside. This makes for easier cleaning (as you can clean the whole window from inside the house without having to get on a ladder).
- Ventilation - Since the top sash moves, you can pull this down for better air flow.
Features
There are a couple of features that matter on hung windows. This affects both quality and price. Marvin Windows has the greatest variety of ways to customize windows, but this comes with a cost.
Glass
This is the most important factor in a window. Glass type and quality are broken down by brand.
Marvin Windows
Marvin has three lines of single and double-hung windows: Essentials, Elevate, and Ultimate. All three lines are of the same quality, but you get more features in the window as you upgrade.
- Essentials - This is a double-pane, low-E 272 glass
- Elevate - Double pane, low-E 272 glass with some triple pane options depending on style
- Ultimate - Double pane or triple pane in ANY window
Provia
Our go-to line is Endure, which comes in double-pane and triple-pane. A good option!
Target Windows
Target Windows makes its own glass in-house. They have double-pane and triple-pane options. They manufacture their windows with Low-E 366 glass.
Foam-filled frame
Foam-filled frames are better insulated, so they keep out cold/hot air and sound much better. When we install Target and Provia windows, a foam-filled frame is standard. Marvin Windows does NOT offer foam-filled frames.
Tilt latches
Tilt latches allow you to tilt the sash inward, primarily for cleaning purposes. On double hung windows, tilt latches are standard.
Limit locks
Limit locks allow you to restrict how far a window opens. This is a low-cost option, but they are not standard on our installs.
