What is a Double-Hung Window?

First, let’s explain what a window sash is. The window panes of glass are held together by a window sash. The sash sits inside the window frame and moves up or down.

A Double-Hung Window Consists of:

Garden window with sloped glass roof, side vents for ventilation, and built-in shelf for plants and herbs, enhancing natural light in a kitchen setting.

Double-Hung or Casement Window?

While there are no hard and fast rules, a modern casement window is usually considered more of a modern or contemporary look, while double-hung windows are more traditional or historic. The choice will be important to consider in the overall look and curb appeal of your home. Windows play a major role in architectural appearance.

Kitchen Considerations

Casement windows work well over a counter or sink, because they are easy to reach and open with the crank, while a double-hung window would be difficult to open. Still want the look of a double- hung window over the sink? Add grids to your casement window to imitate the look and feel you desire.

Deck & Bedroom Access

If a casement opens onto a deck, it might block a pathway. A double-hung window might be more suited for this situation. In a bedroom it is important to pick the best window to provide egress from the room. It could be a casement, or double-hung window depending on which will allow the easiest escape.
