What exactly is a double hung window?
lefty asked:
I was at a home center looking around and they had windows on display and what I thought I used to know was a double hung window I guess isn’t. They had double hung windows and single hung windows side by side and I couldn’t tell they were different looking at them. I thought maybe the “double” meant double pane glass, but the single hung windows had this as well. They both retracted up and down and functioned about the same. Gees, can some please explain????

A single hung is one where only the bottom sash would open. A double hung is one that not only does the bottom opens, the top will also open, sliding down instead of up like the bottom. They also usually have a full screen. Hope that answers your question.

HI,
A single-hung window has a single sash,which slides up and down in its tracks, and a non-moving sash.
