A single-hung window has a single movable sash that slides up from the bottom, while the top sash stays stationary. When open, the two sashes overlap, requiring no additional space to ventilate. This maximizes space around the window, making it a popular choice in bedrooms and by high-traffic areas, such as a patio. Because the top sash does not operate, single-hung windows are also ideal in spaces where the upper sash is out of reach.
A double-hung window can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top with two sashes that move independently. The two sashes are stacked and meet in the middle with a latch that locks the window shut. Double-hung windows are simple to clean as both sashes tilt inward for easy access to the interior and exterior glass surfaces. Because double-hung windows ventilate without protruding inwards or outwards, they maximize both interior and exterior space, making them popular choices in entertainment spaces like patios and porches.

For example, where there are exterior decks or restricted space in exterior light wells which can inhibit the use of outswing products. These windows can be used in combination with all other swing products to create unique configurations.

Once closed the secure seal prevents drafts and moisture from entering your home so you can better control your room temperature. When open, single slider tilt windows offer ample ventilation while letting plenty of natural light in your home.
