Double hung windows are a timeless and versatile choice for homeowners seeking to blend functionality with a classic aesthetic. These types of windows, also known as sash windows or double sash windows, feature two vertically sliding panels that provide ventilation control and easy maintenance.
At NEXT Door & Window, we install high-quality double hung windows that blend traditional charm with modern performance for your Chicagoland, Madison, WI or St. Louis home.

This means, at the very least, they can withstand pressure equivalent to 132 mph winds while remaining watertight.

Double hung windows feature two sashes that slide vertically, independent of one another. You can raise the bottom sash, lower the top sash, or do both simultaneously. Many modern double hung windows also have sashes that tilt inward, allowing for easy cleaning of both interior and exterior surfaces.
The main difference lies in the number of operable sashes. Single hung windows have one fixed sash (usually the top) and one moveable sash (usually the bottom). Double hung windows have two moveable sashes, allowing for more ventilation options and easier cleaning.
“Sash” refers to the moveable part of a window that holds the glass pane. In essence, all double hung windows are sash windows, but not all sash windows are necessarily double hung.
Cleaning double hung windows is straightforward, especially with tilt-in sashes. First, start with the top sash by tilting it inward and cleaning the exterior surface first, then the interior. Repeat the process with the bottom sash.
