A double-hung window has two operable sashes in a single frame: both the top and bottom move, and both tilt inward so you can clean the outside glass from indoors. That versatility — plus a classic look that fits everything from historic to modern homes — makes double-hung the most requested style we install in Marietta. They ventilate well (open the top to let hot air escape) and pair with any frame material and Low-E glass package.

Double-Hung Window Replacement FAQs
What’s the difference between single-hung and double-hung?
On a single-hung window only the bottom sash moves; on a double-hung both sashes move and tilt in. Double-hung costs a bit more but offers better ventilation and far easier cleaning.
Are double-hung windows energy efficient?
Yes, when built with dual-pane Low-E glass, argon fill, and quality weatherstripping. Modern double-hung units seal tightly at the meeting rail and jambs.
